New hybrid model combines CoLES and State Space Models for user transaction analysis

Researchers have developed a novel hybrid approach for user-centric modeling of transactional event sequences, combining contrastive representation learning (CoLES) with State Space Models (SSMs). This method addresses limitations of existing encoders like RNNs and Transformers by leveraging Mamba, a selective SSM, to efficiently handle long-range dependencies. Experiments on public datasets showed that the hybrid models consistently improved performance and converged 2-3 times faster than standalone SSM baselines, with explainability analyses highlighting selective event filtering and identification of informative transaction features.
