• Abstract summary: We introduce a new User Embedding Module (UEM) that efficiently processes user history in free-form text by compressing and representing them as embeddings. Our experiments demonstrate the superior capability of this approach in handling significantly longer histories. The main contribution of this research is to demonstrate the ability to bias language models with user signals represented as embeddings.

• Abstract: Modeling long histories plays a pivotal role in enhancing recommendation systems, allowing to capture user's evolving preferences, resulting in more precise and personalized recommendations. In this study we tackle the challenges of modeling long user histories for preference understanding in natural language. Specifically, we introduce a new User Embedding Module (UEM) that efficiently processes user history in free-form text by compressing and representing them as embeddings, to use them as soft prompts to a LM. Our experiments demonstrate the superior capability of this approach in handling significantly longer histories compared to conventional text based prompting methods, yielding substantial improvements in predictive performance. The main contribution of this research is to demonstrate the ability to bias language models with user signals represented as embeddings.

  PERSOMA offers a novel approach to efficiently capture user history. It achieves this by resampling and compressing interactions as free form text into expressive soft prompt embeddings. Our results demonstrate PERSOMA's superior ability to handle large and complex user histories compared to existing embedding-based and text-prompt-based techniques.

  We show that item representations, when linearly mapped from advanced LM representations, yield superior recommendation performance.

  We propose an alternative approach called User-Guided Response Optimization (UGRO) to combine it with a smaller task-oriented dialogue model. This approach uses LLM as annotation-free user simulator to assess dialogue responses, combining them with smaller fine-tuned end-to-end TOD models. Our approach outperforms previous state-of-the-art (SOTA) results.
