Latent User Intent Modeling for Sequential Recommenders
Bo Chang, Alexandros Karatzoglou, Yuyan Wang +3
Sequential recommender models are essential components of modern industrial recommender systems. These models learn to predict the next items a user is likely to interact with base…
Challenging BIG-Bench Tasks and Whether Chain-of-Thought Can Solve Them
Mirac Suzgun, Nathan Scales, Nathanael Schärli +8
BIG-Bench (Srivastava et al., 2022) is a diverse evaluation suite that focuses on tasks believed to be beyond the capabilities of current language models. Language models have alre…
Simpson's Paradox in Recommender Fairness: Reconciling differences between per-user and aggregated evaluations
Flavien Prost, Ben Packer, Jilin Chen +9
There has been a flurry of research in recent years on notions of fairness in ranking and recommender systems, particularly on how to evaluate if a recommender allocates exposure e…
Empowering Long-tail Item Recommendation through Cross Decoupling Network (CDN)
Yin Zhang, Ruoxi Wang, Tiansheng Yao +5
Industry recommender systems usually suffer from highly-skewed long-tail item distributions where a small fraction of the items receives most of the user feedback. This skew hurts…
Scaling Instruction-Finetuned Language Models
Hyung Won Chung, Le Hou, Shayne Longpre +32
Finetuning language models on a collection of datasets phrased as instructions has been shown to improve model performance and generalization to unseen tasks. In this paper we expl…
Reward Shaping for User Satisfaction in a REINFORCE Recommender
Konstantina Christakopoulou, Can Xu, Sai Zhang +10
How might we design Reinforcement Learning (RL)-based recommenders that encourage aligning user trajectories with the underlying user satisfaction? Three research questions are key…
