Sequential recommendation task aims to predict the next item to interact with based on users’ interaction history. Text-based recommendation models, which represent items as text, show improved performance in cold-start problems and zero-shot recommendation tasks. However, they suffer from textual bias and the lack of collaborative knowledge. To overcome these limitations, we propose a text-based recommendation model inference framework using the nearest neighbor mechanism. The proposed method leverages text-based recommendation models as a neighbor retriever model to search neighbors with similar preferences to the user and aggregate the neighbor information with existing recommendation results to improve recommendation performance. Experiments conducted on four datasets show that the proposed method consistently outperforms existing models, with performance improvement up to 25.27% on NDCG@50. Furthermore, the proposed method effectively complements collaborative knowledge and improves model explainability by providing recommendation rationale.

An Effective Preference Model to Improve Top-N Recommendation

Collaborative filtering is a technique that effectively recommends unrated items for users. Collaborative filtering is based on the similarity of the items evaluated by users. The existing top-N recommendation methods are based on pair-wise and list-wise preference models. However, these methods do not effectively represent the relative preference of items that are evaluated by users, and can not reflect the importance of each item. In this paper, we propose a new method to represent user"s latent preference by combining an existing preference model and the notion of inverse user frequency. The proposed method improves the accuracy of existing methods by up to two times.
