Region Embedding with Intra and Inter-View Contrastive Learning

1 code implementation15 Nov 2022 Liang Zhang, Cheng Long, Gao Cong

Motivated by the success of contrastive learning for representation learning, we propose to leverage it for multi-view region representation learning and design a model called ReMVC (Region Embedding with Multi-View Contrastive Learning) by following two guidelines: i) comparing a region with others within each view for effective representation extraction and ii) comparing a region with itself across different views for cross-view information sharing.

Exploring Global Information for Session-based Recommendation

no code implementations20 Nov 2020 Ziyang Wang, Wei Wei, Gao Cong, Xiao-Li Li, Xian-Ling Mao, Minghui Qiu, Shanshan Feng

Based on BGNN, we propose a novel approach, called Session-based Recommendation with Global Information (SRGI), which infers the user preferences via fully exploring global item-transitions over all sessions from two different perspectives: (i) Fusion-based Model (SRGI-FM), which recursively incorporates the neighbor embeddings of each node on global graph into the learning process of session level item representation; and (ii) Constrained-based Model (SRGI-CM), which treats the global-level item-transition information as a constraint to ensure the learned item embeddings are consistent with the global item-transition.
