Multi-interest candidate matching plays a pivotal role in personalized recommender systems, as it captures diverse user interests from their historical behaviors. Most existing methods utilize attention mechanisms to generate interest representations by aggregating item embeddings. However, these only capture overall item-level relevance, leading coarse-grained that include irrelevant information. To address this issue, we propose the Diffusion Multi-Interest model (DMI), novel framework for...
