• Abstract summary: We propose a Multi-relational Transformer capable of modeling auxiliary item relationships for Sequential Recommendation (SR) Specifically, we propose a novel self-attention module, which incorporates arbitrary item relationships and weights item relationships accordingly. Third, for inter-sequence item relationship pairs, we introduce a novel inter-sequence related items modeling module.

• Abstract: Sequential Recommendation (SR) models user dynamics and predicts the next preferred items based on the user history. Existing SR methods model the 'was interacted before' item-item transitions observed in sequences, which can be viewed as an item relationship. However, there are multiple auxiliary item relationships, e.g., items from similar brands and with similar contents in real-world scenarios. Auxiliary item relationships describe item-item affinities in multiple different semantics and alleviate the long-lasting cold start problem in the recommendation. However, it remains a significant challenge to model auxiliary item relationships in SR. To simultaneously model high-order item-item transitions in sequences and auxiliary item relationships, we propose a Multi-relational Transformer capable of modeling auxiliary item relationships for SR (MT4SR). Specifically, we propose a novel self-attention module, which incorporates arbitrary item relationships and weights item relationships accordingly. Second, we regularize intra-sequence item relationships with a novel regularization module to supervise attentions computations. Third, for inter-sequence item relationship pairs, we introduce a novel inter-sequence related items modeling module. Finally, we conduct experiments on four benchmark datasets and demonstrate the effectiveness of MT4SR over state-of-the-art methods and the improvements on the cold start problem. The code is available at https://github.com/zfan20/MT4SR.

  We propose MISSRec, a multi-modal pre-training and transfer learning framework for sequential recommendation. On the user side, we design a Transformer-based encoder-decoder model, where the contextual encoder learns to capture the sequence-level multi-modal user interests. On the candidate item side, we adopt a dynamic fusion module to produce user-adaptive item representation.

  This work proposes a Memory-Augmented Transformer Networks (MATN) to enable the recommendation with multiplex behavioral relational information. In our MATN framework, we first develop a transformer-based multi-behavior relation encoder, to make the learned interaction representations be reflective of the cross-type behavior relations. A memory attention network is proposed to supercharge MATN capturing the contextual signals of different types of behavior into the category-specific latent embedding space.

We empirically show the relevance of this joint relational modeling, by outperforming existing CML models on recommendation tasks on several real-world datasets.

  We propose a new paradigm of Relation Extraction (RE) that considers as a whole the predictions of all relations in the same context. We develop a data-driven approach that does not require hand-crafted rules but learns by itself the relation of relations (RoR) using Graph Neural Networks and a relation matrix transformer. Experiments show that our model outperforms the state-of-the-art approaches by +1.12% on the ACE05 dataset and +2.55% on SemEval 2018 Task 7.2.
