Abstract

Recommender systems are one of the most successful applications of data mining and machine-learning technology in practice. Academic research in the field is historically often based on the matrix completion problem formulation, where for each user-item-pair only one interaction (e.g., a rating) is considered. In many application domains, however, multiple user-item interactions of different types can be recorded over time. And, a number of recent works have shown that this information can be used to build richer individual user models and to discover additional behavioral patterns that can be leveraged in the recommendation process.

In this work, we review existing works that consider information from such sequentially ordered user-item interaction logs in the recommendation process. Based on this review, we propose a categorization of the corresponding recommendation tasks and goals, summarize existing algorithmic solutions, discuss methodological approaches when benchmarking what we call sequence-aware recommender systems, and outline open challenges in the area.

Tutorial: Sequence-Aware Recommender Systems
WWW '19: Companion Proceedings of The 2019 World Wide Web Conference

Recommender systems are widely used in online applications to help users find items of interest and help them deal with information overload. In this tutorial, we discuss the class of sequence-aware recommender systems. Differently from the traditional ...
Impression-Aware Recommender Systems
Novel data sources bring new opportunities to improve the quality of recommender systems and serve as a catalyst for the creation of new paradigms on personalized recommendations. Impressions are a novel data source containing the items shown to users on ...
A survey of serendipity in recommender systems

We summarize most efforts on serendipity in recommender systems.We compare definitions of serendipity in recommender systems.We classify the state-of-the-art serendipity-oriented recommendation algorithms.We review methods to assess serendipity in ...
