Explainable Recommendation (ER) aims to enhance recommendation transparency and prediction accuracy by providing faithful and persuasive explanations. However, Multi-Modal Multi-Interest Explainable Recommendation (MMER) is particularly challenging in two aspects: effectively utilizing diverse multi
Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in visual classification tasks. Existing methods for enhancing VLMs on this task often rely heavily on direct category-to-image matching, which limits generalization and results in suboptimal performance. In addition, these meth
Multimedia content offers additional context for recommender systems to better understand user interests. Existing studies on multimodal recommendation primarily focus on constructing item-item semantic graphs. However, most of these methods capture only shallow semantic structures based on feature
The rapid growth of multimedia content has driven the development of recommender systems. Most previous work focuses on uncovering latent relationships among items to learn better representations. However, this approach does not sufficiently account for user affinities, potentially leading to an imb
Sequential recommendation generates embedding representations from historical user-item interactions to recommend the next potential interaction item. Due to the complexity and variability of historical user-item interactions, extracting effective user features is quite challenging. Recent studies h
Sequential recommendation aims to capture the temporal dependencies of items in a user's historical interactions and make recommendations based on this. Previous generative methods addressed the issue of data not directly reflecting user preference uncertainty by modeling the distribution of latent…
Recommender systems play a critical role in many applications by providing personalized recommendations based on user interactions. However, it remains a major challenge to capture complex sequential patterns and address noise in user interaction data. While advanced neural networks have enhanced se
Federated learning (FL) enables collaborative model training without exposing raw data, offering a privacy-aware alternative to centralized learning. However, FL remains vulnerable to various privacy attacks that exploit shared model updates, including membership inference, property inference, and g
