How can you personalize deep learning models for recommender systems?

由人工智能和领英社区提供技术支持

Recommender systems are applications that suggest products, services, or content to users based on their preferences, behavior, or context. They are widely used by online platforms such as Netflix, Amazon, or Spotify to enhance user experience and engagement. However, building effective recommender systems is not a trivial task, as it requires dealing with complex and dynamic data, user diversity, and scalability issues. Deep learning models, which are powerful tools for learning from large and high-dimensional data, have been increasingly adopted for recommender systems in recent years. However, deep learning models are often generic and do not account for the individual preferences and needs of each user. How can you personalize deep learning models for recommender systems? In this article, we will explore some of the techniques and challenges of personalizing deep learning models for recommender systems.

1 User embeddings

One of the simplest ways to personalize deep learning models for recommender systems is to use user embeddings, which are low-dimensional representations of users that capture their latent preferences and characteristics. User embeddings can be learned from user features, such as demographics, preferences, or ratings, or from user behavior, such as browsing, clicking, or purchasing history. User embeddings can be fed into deep learning models as inputs, along with item features or context information, to generate personalized recommendations. For example, a deep neural network can use user embeddings and item embeddings to predict the rating or preference of a user for an item. User embeddings can also be used to measure the similarity or distance between users, and to cluster users into groups with similar preferences.

User embeddings are low-dimensional representations of users that capture their latent preferences and characteristics, making them a simple and effective way to personalize deep learning models for recommender systems. These embeddings can be derived from user features like demographics or behavior, such as browsing history. User embeddings are used as inputs in deep learning models, alongside item features or context data, to generate personalized recommendations. For instance, a deep neural network can predict user preferences for items by utilizing user embeddings and item embeddings. Additionally, user embeddings can assess user similarity, enabling the clustering of users with similar preferences into groups.

Recommendation systems are built by leveraging the user behaviour and they are broadly of two types: - Content based: Recommendation of content in this technique depends on the respective user behaviour and irrelevant to the other users. Ideally the user behaviour and content are encoded into embeddings using word vectors and a semantic similarity algorithm is used to determine the recommendations. - Collaborative filtering: Here, the recommendations to a unique user depend on the behaviour of users with similar liking. For eg: if A and B like a movie Y while A and C like a movie X then X will be recommended to B also as A and B have similar traits. Likewise here also we convert both the users and content to numerics for processing.

2 User attention

Another way to personalize deep learning models for recommender systems is to use user attention, which is a mechanism that allows the model to focus on the most relevant or important features or items for each user. User attention can be implemented as a layer or a module in deep learning models, such as recurrent neural networks, convolutional neural networks, or transformers, to weigh or select the features or items that are most informative or appealing for each user. For example, a recurrent neural network can use user attention to generate personalized summaries or reviews of items based on the user's previous interactions or feedback. User attention can also be used to filter or rank the items that are most likely to interest or satisfy each user.

An insight into user’s knowledge powering the user attention can significantly boost personalization. If we take the example of personalized summaries from the description, the “ideal” (personalized) summarizer model must not cater the same summary to the topic expert, enthusiast, and a na?ve user. Hence, having a priori about user’s understanding of the topic can allow us to skim out cliches, either through a generalized statement (“It also has ABC clause”), complete omit, or through reference to previous known similarities (“Similar to Article Y, …”).

3 User adaptation

A third way to personalize deep learning models for recommender systems is to use user adaptation, which is a process that adjusts or updates the model parameters or outputs according to the user's feedback or behavior. User adaptation can be achieved by using online learning, reinforcement learning, or meta-learning techniques, which enable the model to learn from new data, optimize a reward function, or generalize to new tasks. For example, a reinforcement learning agent can use user adaptation to learn a personalized policy for recommending items that maximize the user's satisfaction or retention. User adaptation can also be used to fine-tune or customize the model for each user or group of users.

4 User privacy

A final aspect to consider when personalizing deep learning models for recommender systems is user privacy, which is the protection of the user's personal data and preferences from unauthorized access or use. User privacy is a crucial issue for recommender systems, as they often collect and process sensitive and personal information from users, such as their identity, location, preferences, or behavior. User privacy can be compromised by malicious attacks, data breaches, or unethical practices, which can harm the user's trust, security, or well-being. To preserve user privacy, some of the techniques that can be used are encryption, anonymization, differential privacy, or federated learning, which aim to secure, obscure, or decentralize the user data or the model training. For example, federated learning can allow the users to train and update the model locally on their devices, without sharing their data with a central server.
