For users to trust an agent and give effective feedback, the recommender system must be able to explain its suggestions and rationales. We develop a two-part framework for training multi-turn conversational recommenders that provide recommendation rationales that users can effectively interact with to receive better recommendations. First, we train a recommender system to jointly suggest items and explain its reasoning via subjective rationales. We then fine-tune this model to incorporate iterative user feedback via self-supervised bot-play. Experiments on three real-world datasets demonstrate that our system can be applied to different recommendation models across diverse domains to achieve state-of-the-art performance in multi-turn recommendation. Human studies show that systems trained with our framework provide more useful, helpful, and knowledgeable suggestions in warm- and cold-start settings. Our framework allows us to use only product reviews during training, avoiding the need for expensive dialog transcript datasets that limit the applicability of previous conversational recommender agents.","PeriodicalId":443279,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 16th ACM Conference on Recommender Systems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116414532","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This can be problematic for users with diverse political preferences by topic — e.g., users that prefer conservative articles on one topic but liberal articles on another. In such instances, recommenders can have a homogenizing effect by recommending articles with the same political lean on both topics, particularly if both topics share salient, politically polarized terms like “far right” or “radical left.” In this paper, we propose attention-based neural network models to reduce this homogenization effect by increasing attention on words that are topic specific while decreasing attention on polarized, topic-general terms. We find that the proposed approach results in more accurate recommendations for simulated users with such diverse preferences.","PeriodicalId":443279,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 16th ACM Conference on Recommender Systems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128357074","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our proposed method stimulates the agent to explore the environment using the stochasticity of Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes.

This created a great variety of methods making it non-obvious which method should be used in practice. We begin by extending the previously established theoretical connection between polynomial neural networks and factorization machines (FM) to recently introduced FM techniques. This allows us to propose a single neural-network-based framework that can switch between the deep learning and FM paradigms by a simple change of an activation function. We further show that an activation function exists which can adaptively learn to select the optimal paradigm. Another key element in our framework is its ability to learn high-dimensional embeddings by low-rank factorization. Our framework can handle numeric and categorical data as well as multiclass outputs. Extensive empirical experiments verify our analytical claims.

In most online content related to this topic, the focus is on models and algorithms that score items based on the user’s preferences. However, the recommender model alone does not comprise everything needed for serving optimized recommender systems that meet the company’s business objectives. An industry-standard recommender system involves a number of steps, including data preprocessing, defining and training recommender models, as well as filtering and business logic for serving. In this work, we propose the four-stage recommender system, an industry-wide design pattern we have identified for production recommender systems. The four-stage pipeline includes an item retrieval step that prepares a small subset of relevant items for scoring. The filtering stage then cleans up the subset of items based on business logic such as removing out-of-stock or previously seen items. As for the ranking component, it uses a recommender model to score each item in the presented list based on the preferences of the user. In the final step, the scores are re-ordered to provide a final recommendation list aligned with other business needs or constraints such as diversity. In particular, the presented demo demonstrates how easy it is to build and deploy a four-stage recommender system pipeline using the NVIDIA Merlin open-source framework.","PeriodicalId":443279,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 16th ACM Conference on Recommender Systems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115279616","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A limitation of A/B tests is that they do not easily extend to measure post-experiment (long-term) differences. In this talk, we study a different approach inspired by recent advances in off-policy evaluation in reinforcement learning (RL). The basic RL approach assumes customer behavior follows a stationary Markovian process, and estimates the average engagement metric when the process reaches the steady state. However, in realistic scenarios, the stationary assumption is often violated due to weekly variations and seasonality effects. To tackle this challenge, we propose a variation by relaxing the stationary assumption. We empirically tested both stationary and nonstationary approaches in a synthetic dataset and an online store dataset.","PeriodicalId":443279,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 16th ACM Conference on Recommender Systems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122655347","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Though existing sequential methods have achieved advanced performance by considering the varied impacts of interactions with sequential information, a large body of them still have two major shortcomings. Firstly, they usually model different behaviors separately without considering the correlations between them. The transitions from item to item under diverse behaviors indicate some users’ potential behavior manner. Secondly, though the behavior information contains a user’s fine-grained interests, the insufficient consideration of the local context information limits them from well understanding user intentions. Utilizing the adjacent interactions to better understand a user’s behavior could improve the certainty of prediction. To address these two issues, we propose a novel solution utilizing global and personalized graphs for HSR (GPG4HSR) to learn behavior transitions and user intentions. Specifically, our GPG4HSR consists of two graphs, i.e., a global graph to capture the transitions between different behaviors, and a personalized graph to model items with behaviors by further considering the distinct user intentions of the adjacent contextually relevant nodes. Extensive experiments on four public datasets with the state-of-the-art baselines demonstrate the effectiveness and general applicability of our method GPG4HSR.","PeriodicalId":443279,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 16th ACM Conference on Recommender Systems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121157522","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
