Approach: They propose an adversarial user intention learning approach for sequential recommendaiton . the approach explicitly predicts user current intentions by taking historical reviews as inputs .
Outcome: The proposed approach explicitly predicts user intentions by inferring their decision-making process as explained in target reviews.
