Do Composed Image Retrieval Benchmarks Require Multimodal Composition?
Matteo Attimonelli, Alessandro De Bellis, Aryo Pradipta Gema +8
Composed Image Retrieval (CIR) is a multimodal retrieval task where a query consists of a reference image and a textual modification, and the goal is to retrieve a target image sat…
Large-scale Benchmarks for Multimodal Recommendation with Ducho
Matteo Attimonelli, Danilo Danese, Angela Di Fazio +3
The common multimodal recommendation pipeline involves (i) extracting multimodal features, (ii) refining their high-level representations to suit the recommendation task, (iii) opt…
Training-free Graph-based Imputation of Missing Modalities in Multimodal Recommendation
Daniele Malitesta, Emanuele Rossi, Claudio Pomo +2
Multimodal recommender systems (RSs) represent items in the catalog through multimodal data (e.g., product images and descriptions) that, in some cases, might be noisy or (even wor…
A Reproducible and Fair Evaluation of Partition-aware Collaborative Filtering
Domenico de Gioia, Claudio Pomo, Ludovico Boratto +1
Similarity-based collaborative filtering (CF) models have long demonstrated strong offline performance and conceptual simplicity. However, their scalability is limited by the quadr…
On the Impact of Graph Neural Networks in Recommender Systems: A Topological Perspective
Daniele Malitesta, Claudio Pomo, Vito Walter Anelli +3
In recommender systems, user-item interactions can be modeled as a bipartite graph, where user and item nodes are connected by undirected edges. This graph-based view has motivated…
Do Recommender Systems Really Leverage Multimodal Content? A Comprehensive Analysis on Multimodal Representations for Recommendation
Claudio Pomo, Matteo Attimonelli, Danilo Danese +2
Multimodal Recommender Systems aim to improve recommendation accuracy by integrating heterogeneous content, such as images and textual metadata. While effective, it remains unclear…
