An Interpretable Neural Network Model for Bundle Recommendations: Doctoral Symposium, Extended Abstract

Abstract

A users’ preference for a bundle – a set of items that can be purchased together – can be expressed by the utility of this bundle to the user. The multi-attribute utility theory motivate us to characterize the utility of a bundle using its attributes to improve the personalized bundle recommendation systems. This extended abstract for the Doctoral Symposium describes my PhD project for studying the utility of a bundle using its attributes. The steps taken and some preliminary results are presented, with an outline of the future plans.
