• Abstract summary: Test-Time Training (TTT) offers a novel approach by using self-supervised learning during inference to dynamically update model parameters. We propose TTT4Rec, a sequential recommendation framework that integrates TTT to better capture dynamic user behavior. We evaluate TTT4Rec on three widely-used recommendation datasets, demonstrating that it achieves performance on par with or exceeding state-of-the-art models.

• Abstract: Sequential recommendation tasks, which aim to predict the next item a user will interact with, typically rely on models trained solely on historical data. However, in real-world scenarios, user behavior can fluctuate in the long interaction sequences, and training data may be limited to model this dynamics. To address this, Test-Time Training (TTT) offers a novel approach by using self-supervised learning during inference to dynamically update model parameters. This allows the model to adapt to new user interactions in real-time, leading to more accurate recommendations. In this paper, we propose TTT4Rec, a sequential recommendation framework that integrates TTT to better capture dynamic user behavior. By continuously updating model parameters during inference, TTT4Rec is particularly effective in scenarios where user interaction sequences are long, training data is limited, or user behavior is highly variable. We evaluate TTT4Rec on three widely-used recommendation datasets, demonstrating that it achieves performance on par with or exceeding state-of-the-art models.

  We introduce a novel collaborative filtering model for sequential problems known as TIRecA. TIRecA efficiently updates its parameters using only the new data segment, allowing incremental addition of new users and items to the recommender system. Our comparison with general matrix and tensor-based baselines in terms of prediction quality and computational time reveals that TIRecA achieves comparable quality to the baseline methods, while being 10-20 times faster in training time.

  Capturing the dynamics in user preference is crucial to better predict user future behaviors because user preferences often drift over time. Many existing recommendation algorithms -- including both shallow and deep ones -- often model such dynamics independently. This paper considers the problem of embedding a user's sequential behavior into the latent space of user preferences.

  We devise a novel Dynamic Representation Learning model for Sequential Recommendation (DRL-SRe) To better model the user-item interactions for characterizing the dynamics from both sides, the proposed model builds a global user-item interaction graph for each time slice. To enable the model to capture fine-grained temporal information, we propose an auxiliary temporal prediction task over consecutive time slices.
