推荐任务

1.1 Collaborative Filtering

协同过滤永不过时！作为经典中的经典，协同过滤更多考虑用户和物品的交互信息来找到相似的用户和物品，再利用相似性来进行推荐。从最早的基于邻居（Neighbor）的方法ItemKNN, UserKNN等，到基于矩阵分解（MF）的方法SVD++, BPRMF等，再随着神经网络的发展，基于神经网络（NN）的方法NCF, CDAE等，再到最近一些基于图神经网络的方法，协同过滤一直在不断进步，也展现出越来越强大的威力。最新的一些研究工作主要集中在如何更好的捕捉相似性上，包括设计更为复杂的网络结构，主要以VAE，GNN的结构为主；更复杂的空间来度量，例如双曲空间，立方体表示；以及更复杂的相似度计算方式。

1.2 Sequential/Session-based Recommendations

序列推荐也是顶会中热门的研究方向。sequential recommendations和session-based recommendations严格来说并不完全相似，与sequential recommendations相比，session-based recommendations不太有user的概念以及序列更短，但两者有非常多的相似之处，都是通过交互过的item序列来刻画偏好，因此放在一起来说。序列推荐最早是基于Markov Chain来进行建模，例如经典方法FPMC，后来随着一些序列模型的发展，例如RNN，GRU，包括最近火热的Transformer，序列推荐开始基于这些序列模型来建模，例如GRU4Rec，SASRec等，随着图神经网络的发展，基于GNN的方法也变得非常热门。
