论文摘要
许多现代的顺序推荐系统使用深层神经网络，可以有效地估计项目的相关性，但需要大量时间进行培训。慢速培训增加了费用，阻碍了产品开发时间表，并防止该模型定期更新以适应不断变化的用户偏好。培训这样的顺序模型涉及对过去的用户互动进行适当采样以创建现实的培训目标。现有的培训目标有局限性。例如，下一个项目预测永远不会将序列的开头用作学习目标，从而有可能丢弃有价值的数据。另一方面，Bert4Rec使用的项目掩盖仅与顺序建议的目标无关。因此，它需要更多的时间来获得有效的模型。因此，我们提出了一种基于新颖的序列训练目标采样，以解决这两个局限性。我们将方法应用于最近和最新的模型架构，例如Gru4Rec，Caser和Sasrec。我们表明，通过我们的方法增强的模型可以实现超过或非常接近bert4rec的状态的性能，但训练时间却少得多。
Many modern sequential recommender systems use deep neural networks, which can effectively estimate the relevance of items but require a lot of time to train. Slow training increases expenses, hinders product development timescales and prevents the model from being regularly updated to adapt to changing user preferences. Training such sequential models involves appropriately sampling past user interactions to create a realistic training objective. The existing training objectives have limitations. For instance, next item prediction never uses the beginning of the sequence as a learning target, thereby potentially discarding valuable data. On the other hand, the item masking used by BERT4Rec is only weakly related to the goal of the sequential recommendation; therefore, it requires much more time to obtain an effective model. Hence, we propose a novel Recency-based Sampling of Sequences training objective that addresses both limitations. We apply our method to various recent and state-of-the-art model architectures - such as GRU4Rec, Caser, and SASRec. We show that the models enhanced with our method can achieve performances exceeding or very close to stateof-the-art BERT4Rec, but with much less training time.
