Contextual Sequence Modeling for Recommendation with Recurrent Neural Networks
Recommendations can greatly benefit from good representations of the user
state at recommendation time. Recent approaches that leverage Recurrent Neural
Networks (RNNs) for session-based recommendations have shown that Deep Learning
models can provide useful user representations for recommendation. However,
current RNN modeling approaches summarize the user state by only taking into
account the sequence of items that the user has interacted with in the past,
without taking into account other essential types of context information such
as the associated types of user-item interactions, the time gaps between events
and the time of day for each interaction. To address this, we propose a new
class of Contextual Recurrent Neural Networks for Recommendation (CRNNs) that
can take into account the contextual information both in the input and output
layers and modifying the behavior of the RNN by combining the context embedding
with the item embedding and more explicitly, in the model dynamics, by
parametrizing the hidden unit transitions as a function of context information.
We compare our CRNNs approach with RNNs and non-sequential baselines and show
good improvements on the next event prediction task
Making intelligent systems team players: Case studies and design issues. Volume 1: Human-computer interaction design
Initial results are reported from a multi-year, interdisciplinary effort to provide guidance and assistance for designers of intelligent systems and their user interfaces. The objective is to achieve more effective human-computer interaction (HCI) for systems with real time fault management capabilities. Intelligent fault management systems within the NASA were evaluated for insight into the design of systems with complex HCI. Preliminary results include: (1) a description of real time fault management in aerospace domains; (2) recommendations and examples for improving intelligent systems design and user interface design; (3) identification of issues requiring further research; and (4) recommendations for a development methodology integrating HCI design into intelligent system design
Lifelong Sequential Modeling with Personalized Memorization for User Response Prediction
User response prediction, which models the user preference w.r.t. the
presented items, plays a key role in online services. With two-decade rapid
development, nowadays the cumulated user behavior sequences on mature Internet
service platforms have become extremely long since the user's first
registration. Each user not only has intrinsic tastes, but also keeps changing
her personal interests during lifetime. Hence, it is challenging to handle such
lifelong sequential modeling for each individual user. Existing methodologies
for sequential modeling are only capable of dealing with relatively recent user
behaviors, which leaves huge space for modeling long-term especially lifelong
sequential patterns to facilitate user modeling. Moreover, one user's behavior
may be accounted for various previous behaviors within her whole online
activity history, i.e., long-term dependency with multi-scale sequential
patterns. In order to tackle these challenges, in this paper, we propose a
Hierarchical Periodic Memory Network for lifelong sequential modeling with
personalized memorization of sequential patterns for each user. The model also
adopts a hierarchical and periodical updating mechanism to capture multi-scale
sequential patterns of user interests while supporting the evolving user
behavior logs. The experimental results over three large-scale real-world
datasets have demonstrated the advantages of our proposed model with
significant improvement in user response prediction performance against the
state-of-the-arts.Comment: SIGIR 2019. Reproducible codes and datasets:
