• Abstract: Along with the exponential growth of online platforms and services, recommendation systems have become essential for identifying relevant items based on user preferences. The domain of sequential recommendation aims to capture evolving user preferences over time. To address dynamic preference, various contrastive learning methods have been proposed to target data sparsity, a challenge in recommendation systems due to the limited user-item interactions. In this paper, we are the first to apply the Fisher-Merging method to Sequential Recommendation, addressing and resolving practical challenges associated with it. This approach ensures robust fine-tuning by merging the parameters of multiple models, resulting in improved overall performance. Through extensive experiments, we demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed methods, highlighting their potential to advance the state-of-the-art in sequential learning and recommendation systems.

  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.
