• Abstract: Session-based recommendation aims to predict intents of anonymous users based on their limited behaviors. Modeling user behaviors involves two distinct rationales: co-occurrence patterns reflected by item IDs, and fine-grained preferences represented by item modalities (e.g., text and images). However, existing methods typically entangle these causes, leading to their failure in achieving accurate and explainable recommendations. To this end, we propose a novel framework DIMO to disentangle the effects of ID and modality in the task. At the item level, we introduce a co-occurrence representation schema to explicitly incorporate cooccurrence patterns into ID representations. Simultaneously, DIMO aligns different modalities into a unified semantic space to represent them uniformly. At the session level, we present a multi-view self-supervised disentanglement, including proxy mechanism and counterfactual inference, to disentangle ID and modality effects without supervised signals. Leveraging these disentangled causes, DIMO provides recommendations via causal inference and further creates two templates for generating explanations. Extensive experiments on multiple real-world datasets demonstrate the consistent superiority of DIMO over existing methods. Further analysis also confirms DIMO's effectiveness in generating explanations.

  We propose a Behavior-Bind multi-modal Quantization for Sequential Recommendation (BBQRec) featuring dual-aligned quantization and semantics-aware sequence modeling. BBQRec disentangles modality-agnostic behavioral patterns from noisy modality-specific features through contrastive codebook learning. We design a discretized similarity reweighting mechanism that dynamically adjusts self-attention scores using quantized semantic relationships.

  Sequential recommendation (SR) aims to predict items that users may be interested in based on their historical behavior. We revisit SR from a novel information-theoretic perspective and find that sequential modeling methods fail to adequately capture randomness and unpredictability of user behavior. Inspired by fuzzy information processing theory, this paper introduces the fuzzy sets of interaction sequences to overcome the limitations and better capture the evolution of users' real interests.

  We argue that the key to better performance lies in meaningful latent modality structures instead of perfect modality alignment. Specifically, we design 1) a deep feature separation loss for intra-modality regularization; 2) a Brownian-bridge loss for inter-modality regularization; and 3) a geometric consistency loss for both intra- and inter-modality regularization.
