Leveraging Geometric Insights in Hyperbolic Triplet Loss for Improved Recommendations
Ch. 1. P. 1217–1221.
Recent studies have demonstrated the potential of hyperbolic geometry for capturing complex patterns from interaction data in recommender systems. In this work, we introduce a novel hyperbolic recommendation model that uses geometrical insights to improve representation learning and increase computational stability at the same time. We reformulate the notion of hyperbolic distances to unlock additional representation capacity over conventional Euclidean space and learn more expressive user and item representations. To better capture user-items interactions, we construct a triplet loss that models ternary relations between users and their corresponding preferred and nonpreferred choices through a mix of pairwise interaction terms driven by the geometry of data. Our hyperbolic approach not only outperforms existing Euclidean and hyperbolic models but also reduces popularity bias, leading to more diverse and personalized recommendations.

Sequential recommender systems have achieved significant success in modeling temporal user behavior but remain limited in cap-turing rich user semantics beyond interaction patterns. Large Language Models (LLMs) present opportunities to enhance user understanding with their reasoning capabilities, yet existing integration approaches cre-ate prohibitive inference costs in real time. To address these limitations, we present a ...

Graph-based recommender systems have emerged as a powerful paradigm for personalized recommendations. However, their reliance on full model retraining to incorporate new users or new interactions creates scalability barriers. The task becomes infeasible in real-life recommender systems due to excessive time and resource costs involved. To address this limitation, we propose a fast and efficient ...

Relevance and diversity are critical objectives in modern information retrieval (IR), particularly in recommender systems. Achieving a balance between relevance (exploitation) and diversity (exploration) optimizes user satisfaction and business goals such as catalog coverage and novelty. While existing post-processing reranking methods address this trade-off, they usually rely on greedy strategies, leading to suboptimal outcomes for ...

Modern sequential recommender systems, ranging from lightweight transformer-based variants to large language models, have become increasingly prominent in academia and industry due to their strong performance in the next-item prediction task. Yet common evaluation protocols for sequential recommendations remain insufficiently developed: they often fail to reflect the corresponding recommendation task accurately, or are not aligned ...

In this work, we present a fast and effective Linear approach for updating recommendations in a scalable graph-based recommender system UltraGCN. Solving this task is extremely important to maintain the relevance of the recommendations under the conditions of a large amount of new data and changing user preferences. To address this issue, we adapt the ...

Large language models (LLMs) demonstrate impressive results in natural language processing tasks but require a significant amount of computational and memory resources. Structured matrix representations are a promising way for reducing the number of parameters of these models. However, it seems unrealistic to expect that weight matrices of pretrained models can be accurately represented by ...

We present a new movie and TV show recommendation dataset collected from the real users of MTS Kion video-on-demand platform. In contrast to other popular movie recommendation datasets, such as MovieLens or Netflix, our dataset is based on the implicit interactions registered at the watching time, rather than on explicit ratings. We also provide rich ...

Simulators for recommender systems are widely used for recommender systems performance evaluation and feedback loop effects analysis. Existing simulators often propose inflexible pipelines, are focused on narrow research tasks, or are not adapted to work with industrial large data volumes. To address these challenges, we developed the Sim4Rec simulation framework. The Sim4Rec models key aspects ...

Over the past quarter-century, digital platforms proliferated and became the world’s
most valuable companies. Traditionally, the growth of digital platforms is explained by crossplatform network effects, which, in turn, are supported by recommendation systems – a set of
algorithms that suggest the most suitable user of one type to a user of another type. The dependence of ...

For an appropriate choice of a -grading structure, we prove that the wrapped Fukaya category of the symmetric square of a -punctured sphere, i.e. the Weinstein manifold given as the complement of generic lines in is quasi-equivalent to the derived category of coherent sheaves on a singular surface constructed as the boundary of a toric Landau-Ginzburg model . We do this ...

Over the last several decades, recommender systems have become an integral part of both our daily lives and the research frontier at machine learning. In this survey, we explore various approaches to developing simulators for recommendation systems, especially for modeling the user response function. We consider simple probabilistic models, approaches based on generative adversarial networks, ...
