• Abstract: Multimodal recommendation aims to model user and item representations comprehensively with the involvement of multimedia content for effective recommendations. Existing research has shown that it is beneficial for recommendation performance to combine (user- and item-) ID embeddings with multimodal salient features, indicating the value of IDs. However, there is a lack of a thorough analysis of the ID embeddings in terms of feature semantics in the literature. In this paper, we revisit the value of ID embeddings for multimodal recommendation and conduct a thorough study regarding its semantics, which we recognize as subtle features of \emph{content} and \emph{structure}. Based on our findings, we propose a novel recommendation model by incorporating ID embeddings to enhance the salient features of both content and structure. Specifically, we put forward a hierarchical attention mechanism to incorporate ID embeddings in modality fusing, coupled with contrastive learning, to enhance content representations. Meanwhile, we propose a lightweight graph convolution network for each modality to amalgamate neighborhood and ID embeddings for improving structural representations. Finally, the content and structure representations are combined to form the ultimate item embedding for recommendation. Extensive experiments on three real-world datasets (Baby, Sports, and Clothing) demonstrate the superiority of our method over state-of-the-art multimodal recommendation methods and the effectiveness of fine-grained ID embeddings.

• Learning ID-free Item Representation with Token Crossing for Multimodal Recommendation [26.737971605928358]
  We propose an ID-free MultimOdal TOken Representation scheme named MOTOR. We first employ product quantization to discretize each item's multimodal features into discrete token IDs. We then interpret the token embeddings corresponding to these token IDs as implicit item features. The resulting representations can replace the original ID embeddings and transform the original multimodal recommender into ID-free system.

  multimodal recommendations can leverage rich contexts beyond interactions. Existing methods mainly regard multimodal information as an auxiliary, using them to help learn ID features. There exist semantic gaps among multimodal content features and ID-based features, for which directly using multimodal information as an auxiliary would lead to misalignment in representations of users and items.

• Preserving Modality Structure Improves Multi-Modal Learning [64.10085674834252]
  Self-supervised learning on large-scale multi-modal datasets allows learning semantically meaningful embeddings without relying on human annotations. These methods often struggle to generalize well on out-of-domain data as they ignore the semantic structure present in modality-specific embeddings. We propose a novel Semantic-Structure-Preserving Consistency approach to improve generalizability by preserving the modality-specific relationships in the joint embedding space.
