• Authors: Reza Yeganegi, Saman Haratizadeh
• Abstract summary: Session-Based Recommenders (SBRs) aim to predict users' next preferences regard to their previous interactions in sessions while there is no historical information about them. In this paper, we examine the potential of session temporal information in enhancing the performance of SBRs. We propose the STAR framework, which utilizes the time intervals between events within sessions to construct more informative representations for items and sessions.

• Abstract: Session-Based Recommenders (SBRs) aim to predict users' next preferences regard to their previous interactions in sessions while there is no historical information about them. Modern SBRs utilize deep neural networks to map users' current interest(s) during an ongoing session to a latent space so that their next preference can be predicted. Although state-of-art SBR models achieve satisfactory results, most focus on studying the sequence of events inside sessions while ignoring temporal details of those events. In this paper, we examine the potential of session temporal information in enhancing the performance of SBRs, conceivably by reflecting the momentary interests of anonymous users or their mindset shifts during sessions. We propose the STAR framework, which utilizes the time intervals between events within sessions to construct more informative representations for items and sessions. Our mechanism revises session representation by embedding time intervals without employing discretization. Empirical results on Yoochoose and Diginetica datasets show that the suggested method outperforms the state-of-the-art baseline models in Recall and MRR criteria.

  Session-based recommendation aims to capture user preferences by analyzing item sequences within individual sessions. Most existing approaches focus mainly on intra-session item relationships, neglecting the connections between items across different sessions. We propose the CLIP-SBR (Cluster-aware Item Prompt learning for Session-Based Recommendation) framework to address these challenges.
