Multi-Domain Recommendation to Attract Users via Domain Preference Modeling

AAAI 2024technical

Recently, web platforms are operating various service domains simultaneously. Targeting a platform that operates multiple service domains, we introduce a new task, Multi-Domain Recommendation to Attract Users (MDRAU), which recommends items from multiple ``unseen'' domains with which each user has n…

Rectifying Demonstration Shortcut in In-Context Learning

NAACL 2024long

Large language models (LLMs) are able to solve various tasks with only a few demonstrations utilizing their in-context learning (ICL) abilities.However, LLMs often rely on their pre-trained semantic priors of demonstrations rather than on the input-label relationships to proceed with ICL prediction.…

Taxonomy-guided Semantic Indexing for Academic Paper Search

EMNLP 2024main

Academic paper search is an essential task for efficient literature discovery and scientific advancement. While dense retrieval has advanced various ad-hoc searches, it often struggles to match the underlying academic concepts between queries and documents, which is critical for paper search. To ena…

Dynamic Multi-Behavior Sequence Modeling for Next Item Recommendation

AAAI 2023technical

Sequential Recommender Systems (SRSs) aim to predict the next item that users will consume, by modeling the user interests within their item sequences. While most existing SRSs focus on a single type of user behavior, only a few pay attention to multi-behavior sequences, although they are very commo…

Generating Multiple-Length Summaries via Reinforcement Learning for Unsupervised Sentence Summarization

EMNLP 2022finding

Sentence summarization shortens given texts while maintaining core contents of the texts. Unsupervised approaches have been studied to summarize texts without ground-truth summaries. However, recent unsupervised models are extractive, which remove words from texts and thus they are less flexible tha…
