Multi-domain recommendation and multi-task have demonstrated their effectiveness in leveraging common information from different domains objectives for comprehensive user modeling. Nonetheless, the practical usually faces multiple tasks simultaneously, which cannot be well-addressed by current methods. To this end, we introduce M3oE, an adaptive Multi-task Mixture-of-Experts framework. M3oE integrates multi-domain information, maps knowledge across tasks, optimizes objectives. We leverage...

Contrastive learning has recently emerged as an effective strategy for improving the performance of sequential recommendation. However, traditional models commonly construct contrastive loss by directly optimizing human-designed positive and negative samples, resulting in a model that is overly sensitive to heuristic rules. To address this limitation, we propose novel soft framework recommendation article. Our main idea extend point-wise contrast region-level comparison, where aim identify...

In recent years, graph contrastive learning (GCL) has received increasing attention in recommender systems due to its effectiveness reducing bias caused by data sparsity. However, most existing GCL models rely on heuristic approaches and usually assume entity independence when constructing views. We argue that these methods struggle strike a balance between semantic invariance view hardness across the dynamic training process, both of which are critical factors learning. To address above...

In recommender systems, reinforcement learning solutions have shown promising results in optimizing the interaction sequence between users and system over long-term performance. For practical reasons, policy's actions are typically designed as recommending a list of items to handle users' frequent continuous browsing requests more efficiently. this list-wise recommendation scenario, user state is updated upon every request corresponding MDP formulation. However, request-level formulation...

In scenarios involving sequence recommendations on large screen devices, such as tablets or TVs, the equipment is often shared among multiple users. This sharing leads to a mixture of behaviors from different users, posing significant challenges recommendation systems, especially when clear supervisory signals for distinguishing users are absent. Current solutions tend either operate in an unsupervised manner rely constructed that not entirely reliable. Moreover, peculiarities short video...

Conversational recommender systems (CRSs) aim to recommend high-quality items users through a dialogue interface. It usually contains multiple sub-tasks, such as user preference elicitation, recommendation, explanation, and item information search. To develop effective CRSs, there are some challenges: 1) how properly manage sub-tasks; 2) effectively solve different 3) correctly generate responses that interact with users. Recently, Large Language Models (LLMs) have exhibited an unprecedented...

Location-Based service (LBS) provides the fundamental services for upcoming ubiquitous environments. However, most existing patterns location are driven and supported by a LBS provider only but lacking of user participation personalized recommendation. In this paper, we propose novel intelligent location-based to address these issues. Our solution is based on ontology which utilized model represent knowledge about user's individual preferences place-related information. The supports as...

Recommender systems filter out information that meets user interests. However, users may be tired of the recommendations are too similar to content they have been exposed in a short historical period, which is so-called fatigue. Despite significance for better experience, fatigue seldom explored by existing recommenders. In fact, there three main challenges addressed modeling fatigue, including what features support it, how it influences interests, and its explicit signals obtained. this...

Recommender systems aim to fulfill the user's daily demands. While most existing research focuses on maximizing engagement with system, it has recently been pointed out that how frequently users come back for service also reflects quality and stability of recommendations. However, optimizing this user retention behavior is non-trivial poses several challenges including intractable leave-and-return activities, sparse delayed signal, uncertain relations between users' their immediate feedback...
