摘要:

当推荐系统发送大量内容以保持用户参与时,用户可能会经历疲劳,这是由以下因素造成的:1)过度浏览不相关的内容,2)看到太多类似的推荐而感到无聊。为了解决这个问题,我们考虑一个在线学习设置,其中平台学习一个策略来推荐考虑用户疲劳的内容。我们提出了一个扩展的依赖点击模型(DCM)来描述用户的行为。我们规定,对于每一个内容,其对用户的吸引力取决于其内在的相关性和折扣系数,衡量有多少类似的内容已经显示。用户按顺序查看推荐的内容,并点击他们认为有吸引力的内容。用户随时可能离开平台,不喜欢内容时退出的概率更高。基于用户的反馈,平台学习底层内容的相关性以及由于内容疲劳而产生的折扣效果。我们把这个学习任务称为“疲劳感知DCM Bandit”问题。我们考虑两个学习场景,这取决于贴现效应是否已知。对于每一种情况下,我们提出了一个学习算法,同时探索和利用,并表征其遗憾界。

英文摘要:

As recommender systems send a massive amount of content to keep users engaged, users may experience fatigue which is contributed by 1) an overexposure to irrelevant content, 2) boredom from seeing too many similar recommendations. To address this problem, we consider an online learning setting where a platform learns a policy to recommend content that takes user fatigue into account. We propose an extension of the Dependent Click Model (DCM) to describe users' behavior. We stipulate that for each piece of content, its attractiveness to a user depends on its intrinsic relevance and a discount factor which measures how many similar contents have been shown. Users view the recommended content sequentially and click on the ones that they find attractive. Users may leave the platform at any time, and the probability of exiting is higher when they do not like the content. Based on user's feedback, the platform learns the relevance of the underlying content as well as the discounting effect due to content fatigue. We refer to this learning task as "fatigue-aware DCM Bandit" problem. We consider two learning scenarios depending on whether the discounting effect is known. For each scenario, we propose a learning algorithm which simultaneously explores and exploits, and characterize its regret bound.
