New Two-Sided State-Space Model Enhances Recommendation Systems with Review Feedback

Researchers have developed a novel Two-Sided State-Space Model (TS-SSM) designed to improve sequential recommendation systems by accounting for the non-random nature of user reviews. Unlike previous models that treat reviews passively, TS-SSM considers how user and item states influence review generation and how reviews, in turn, can alter item popularity and user decisions. The model incorporates a module for fusing review content and observation patterns, a user-state evolution component that considers related item states, and an item-state evolution component that handles asymmetric feedback. Experiments on Amazon and Goodreads datasets show significant improvements in recommendation accuracy, with TS-SSM outperforming existing methods like BSARec and HM4SR. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more accurate and personalized recommendation engines by better leveraging user feedback.

    Two-Sided State-Space Models for Sequential Recommendation with Non-Random Multimodal Review Feedback

    Two-sided digital platforms are inherently dynamic: user preferences shift, item popularity evolves, and reviews both reflect and drive these changes. Yet most sequential recommendation systems treat reviews as passive signals for updating user states, leaving two aspects underex…
