• Abstract summary: We propose graph contrastive learning to enhance item representations with complex associations from the global view. We extend the CapsNet module with the elaborately introduced target-attention mechanism to derive users' dynamic preferences. Our proposed GUESR could not only achieve significant improvements but also could be regarded as a general enhancement strategy.

• Abstract: Sequential Recommendation is a widely studied paradigm for learning users' dynamic interests from historical interactions for predicting the next potential item. Although lots of research work has achieved remarkable progress, they are still plagued by the common issues: data sparsity of limited supervised signals and data noise of accidentally clicking. To this end, several works have attempted to address these issues, which ignored the complex association of items across several sequences. Along this line, with the aim of learning representative item embedding to alleviate this dilemma, we propose GUESR, from the view of graph contrastive learning. Specifically, we first construct the Global Item Relationship Graph (GIRG) from all interaction sequences and present the Bucket-Cluster Sampling (BCS) method to conduct the sub-graphs. Then, graph contrastive learning on this reduced graph is developed to enhance item representations with complex associations from the global view. We subsequently extend the CapsNet module with the elaborately introduced target-attention mechanism to derive users' dynamic preferences. Extensive experimental results have demonstrated our proposed GUESR could not only achieve significant improvements but also could be regarded as a general enhancement strategy to improve the performance in combination with other sequential recommendation methods.

  We introduce Target-Aware Contrastive Learning (Target-aware CL) to enhance target task performance. By minimizing XTCL, Target-aware CL increases the mutual information between the target task and node representations. We show experimentally that XTCL significantly improves the performance on two target tasks.
