PRISM method enhances recommendation systems with personalized item embeddings

Researchers have introduced PRISM, a novel method for generating personalized item embeddings in user history for sequential recommendation systems. Unlike traditional methods that use a shared embedding for each item across all users, PRISM's embeddings reflect the specific relationship between an item and an individual user. This personalization is achieved by reusing upstream ranking computations to create these unique embeddings. Offline evaluations on a large-scale recommendation surface demonstrated that PRISM improves recommendation quality, showing a significant normalized entropy change and a scaling law indicating continued gains with increased history length.

    PRISM: Personalized Item Representations in User History

    Sequential recommenders typically construct history inputs from item identifiers or content features using an embedding map shared across users. The same item therefore yields the same initial embedding representation, even when users have different relationships to the item. We …
