• Abstract: The emerging meta- and multi-verse landscape is yet another step towards the more prevalent use of already ubiquitous online markets. In such markets, recommender systems play critical roles by offering items of interest to the users, thereby narrowing down a vast search space that comprises hundreds of thousands of products. Recommender systems are usually designed to learn common user behaviors and rely on them for inference. This approach, while effective, is oblivious to subtle idiosyncrasies that differentiate humans from each other. Focusing on this observation, we propose an architecture that relies on common patterns as well as individual behaviors to tailor its recommendations for each person. Simulations under a controlled environment show that our proposed model learns interpretable personalized user behaviors. Our empirical results on Nielsen Consumer Panel dataset indicate that the proposed approach achieves up to 27.9% performance improvement compared to the state-of-the-art.

  We identify and characterize a neglected deficiency in existing long-sequence recommendation models. A single set of embeddings struggles with learning both attention and representation, leading to interference between these two processes. We propose the Decoupled Attention and Representation Embeddings (DARE) model, where two distinct embedding tables are learned separately to fully decouple attention and representation.

  We propose a Contrastive Learning sequential recommendation method based on Multi-Intention Disentanglement (MIDCL) In our work, intentions are recognized as dynamic and diverse, and user behaviors are often driven by current multi-intentions. We propose two types of contrastive learning paradigms for finding the most relevant user's interactive intention, and maximizing the mutual information of positive sample pairs.

• Latent User Intent Modeling for Sequential Recommenders [92.66888409973495]
  Sequential recommender models learn to predict the next items a user is likely to interact with based on his/her interaction history on the platform. Most sequential recommenders however lack a higher-level understanding of user intents, which often drive user behaviors online. Intent modeling is thus critical for understanding users and optimizing long-term user experience.

• Justification of Recommender Systems Results: A Service-based Approach [4.640835690336653]
  We propose a novel justification approach that uses service models to extract experience data from reviews concerning all the stages of interaction with items. In a user study, we compared our approach with baselines reflecting the state of the art in the justification of recommender systems results. Our models received higher Interface Adequacy and Satisfaction evaluations by users having different levels of Curiosity or low Need for Cognition (NfC) These findings encourage the adoption of service models to justify recommender systems results but suggest the investigation of personalization strategies to suit diverse interaction needs.
