HieRec: Hierarchical User Interest Modeling for Personalized News Recommendation (2021.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing news recommendation methods learn a single user embedding for each user from their previous behaviors to represent their overall interest. Existing methods only learn 'one' embeddable representation vectors to model user interest. |
| Approach: | They propose a news recommendation method with hierarchical user interest modeling that captures user interest in news rather than a single user embedding. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method can better capture multi-grained user interest in news. |

Fine-grained Interest Matching for Neural News Recommendation (2020.acl-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing studies represent each user as a single vector and then match the candidate news vector, which may lose fine-grained information for recommendation. |
| Approach: | They propose a Fine-grained interest matching method for neural news recommendation based on multi-level representations and fine-grain matching between segment pairs of each browsed news and the candidate news at each semantic level. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model can capture more fine-grained interest matching signals by performing interactions between each pair of news at multi-level semantic granularities. |

Neural News Recommendation with Heterogeneous User Behavior (D19-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing news recommendation methods rely on news click history to model user interest, but data sparsity is a problem . other kinds of user behaviors such as webpage browsing and search queries can provide useful clues of users’ news reading interest. |
| Approach: | They propose to exploit heterogeneous user behaviors to learn news representations from their titles via CNN networks and apply attention networks to select important words. |
| Outcome: | The proposed approach exploits heterogeneous user behaviors on a real-world dataset. |
Two Birds with One Stone: Unified Model Learning for Both Recall and Ranking in News Recommendation (2022.findings-acl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing news recommender systems conduct news recall and ranking separately with different models, but maintaining multiple models leads to high computational cost and high latency. |

Hierarchical Modeling for User Personality Prediction: The Role of Message-Level Attention (2020.acl-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Language processing is increasingly finding use as a supplement for questionnaires to assess psychological attributes of consenting individuals, but most approaches neglect to consider whether all documents of an individual are equally informative. |
| Approach: | They propose a model that uses message-level attention to learn the relative weight of users’ social media posts for assessing their five factor personality traits. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms models with word-level attention and yields state-of-the-art accuracies for all five personality traits. |

HutCRS: Hierarchical User-Interest Tracking for Conversational Recommender System (2023.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing CRSs assume that users like all attributes of the target item and dislike those unrelated to it, which can introduce bias in attribute-level feedback and impede the system’s ability to accurately identify the target items. |
| Approach: | They propose a framework that allows users to explicitly acquire user preferences through natural language conversations by providing explicit answers (yes/no) for each attribute they require. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework portrays the conversation as a hierarchical interest tree that consists of two stages. |
Adaptive and Representative Multi-Interest Modeling for Recommendation with Large Language Model (2026.findings-acl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing methods for multi-interest analysis of users rely on heuristic assumptions . however, the granularity of raw generation of LLMs is agnostic, leading to overly fine or coarse interest grouping. |
| Approach: | They propose an LLM-driven adaptive and representative multi-interest modeling framework that exploits the agnostic granularity of LLMs for multi-interest analysis. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms baselines on real-world datasets. |
