摘要 现有序列推荐方法未能充分挖掘项目属性语义信息且存在语义空间迁移不匹配的问题,导致对长尾物品推荐能力不足.为此,文中提出融合大模型语义增强信息和协同信息融合的序列推荐方法(Large Language Model Enhancement and Collaborative Information Fusion for Sequential Recommendation, LLM-CFSR).首先,通过属性级数据增强与对比微调技术,利用大语言模型生成细粒度语义嵌入,捕捉长尾物品的深层语义关联.然后,设计双视图融合机制,分别从语义视图与协同视图两方面对用户偏好进行联合建模.最后,引入交叉注意力机制,实现嵌入层、序列层与预测层的多层次信息融合,促进语义信息与协同信号的深度交互.在Yelp、Amazon Fashion、Amazon Beauty数据集上的实验表明,LLM-CFSR对于整体推荐性能和长尾物品推荐性能都有所提升.
Abstract:Existing sequential recommendation methods fail to fully explore item attribute semantic information and suffer from a semantic space migration mismatch. These limitations result in inadequate recommendation capabilities of the existing methods for long-tail items. To address this issue, a method for sequential recommendation with large language model enhancement and collaborative information fusion(LLM-CFSR) is proposed in this paper. First, fine-grained semantic embeddings are generated with a large language model through attribute-level data augmentation and contrastive fine-tuning techniques to capture the deep semantic associations of long-tail items. Then, a dual-view modeling framework is designed to jointly model user preferences from both semantic and collaborative views. Finally, to promote deep interaction between semantic information and collaborative signals, a cross-attention mechanism is introduced to achieve multi-level information fusion across embedding layers, sequence layers, and prediction layers. Experimental results on Yelp, Amazon Fashion and Amazon Beauty datasets demonstrate that LLM-CFSR improves the overall recommendation performance and the long-tail item recommendation performance.
