Abstract

Traditional matrix factorization techniques for recommendation have a basic assumption that user interests will not change over time, which is not consistent with the reality. To this end, temporal user-item interaction sequences are important to capture users’ dynamic interests towards more accurate and timely recommendation. Previous works used to capture dynamic interests based on the basic recurrent neural networks. However, they do not distinguish the static interests which reflect user’s long-term preferences from temporal interests caused by occasional incidents. They also treat all the user’s past temporal interests equally when performing future rating prediction. In this paper, we leverage Probabilistic Matrix Factorization (PMF) to learn both static and temporal interests for users, and design a new filtering layer to adaptively feed the static and temporal user information to RNN at different time step. We also apply item-dependent attention mechanism to discriminate the importance of different temporal interactions. We conduct extensive experiments to evaluate the performance of our proposed temporal rating prediction method named TRPN. The results show that TRPN can achieve higher performance than several state-of-the-art methods.
