Abstract

Diversified recommendation aims to alleviate the information cocoon effect and improve user satisfaction by increasing the diversity among items in the recommendation list and reducing low-quality repetitive recommendations. However, existing diversified recommendation methods routinely disregard the personalized diversity requirements when promoting recommendation list diversity. Moreover, most existing methods still rely on staged learning or staged optimization strategy, which limit the improvement of recommendation performance. Therefore, proposing an end-to-end learning framework for multi-level diversified recommendation (MLDR) from the perspective of personalized requirements. By introducing constraints that capture users' multi-level diversified requirements into collaborative filtering models such as matrix factorization or graph neural networks, and designing objective functions that balance both recommendation accuracy and diversity, the reasonable capture of user preferences is achieved. Extensive experiments on four datasets demonstrate that MLDR performs significantly better than the state-of-the-art baselines, and it improves the diversity of base models while preserving recommendation accuracy.
