A Collaborative Session-based Recommendation Approach with Parallel Memory Modules
Meirui Wang, Pengjie Ren, Lei Mei, Zhumin Chen, Jun Ma, Maarten de Rijke · 2019
Session-based recommendation is the task of predicting the next item to recommend when the only available information consists of anonymous behavior sequences. Previous methods for session-based recommendation focus mostly on the current session, ignoring collaborative information in so-called neighborhood sessions, sessions that have been generated previously by other users and reflect similar user intents as the current session. We hypothesize that the collaborative information contained in such neighborhood sessions may help to improve recommendation performance for the current session.
