Deep Group Interest Modeling of Full Lifelong User Behaviors for CTR Prediction

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Extracting users' interests from their lifelong behavior sequence is crucial for predicting Click-Through Rate (CTR). Most current methods employ a two-stage process for efficiency: they first select historical behaviors related to the candidate item and then deduce the user's interest from this narrowed-down behavior sub-sequence. This two-stage paradigm, though effective, leads to information loss. Solely using users' lifelong click behaviors doesn't provide a complete picture of their interests, leading to suboptimal performance. In our research, we introduce the Deep Group Interest Network (DGIN), an end-to-end method to model the user's entire behavior history. This includes all post-registration actions, such as clicks, cart additions, purchases, and more, providing a nuanced user understanding. We start by grouping the full range of behaviors using a relevant key (like item_id) to enhance efficiency. This process reduces the behavior length significantly, from O(10^4) to O(10^2). To mitigate the potential loss of information due to grouping, we incorporate two categories of group attributes. Within each group, we calculate statistical information on various heterogeneous behaviors (like behavior counts) and employ self-attention mechanisms to highlight unique behavior characteristics (like behavior type). Based on this reorganized behavior data, the user's interests are derived using the Transformer technique. Additionally, we identify a subset of behaviors that share the same item_id with the candidate item from the lifelong behavior sequence. The insights from this subset reveal the user's decision-making process related to the candidate item, improving prediction accuracy. Our comprehensive evaluation, both on industrial and public datasets, validates DGIN's efficacy and efficiency.


Deep Geospatial Interpolation Networks

To this end, we propose a novel deep neural network called as Research literature relevant to our work consists of the work done Deep Geospatial Interpolation Network(DGIN), which incorporates in the areas of traditional spatial statistics [1, 7, 9, 10], spatial data both spatial and temporal relationships and has significantly lower mining [4, 8], neural networks for spatio-temporal data [3, 11], and training time. DGIN consists of three major components: Spatial computer vision [5, 6]. Encoder to capture the spatial dependencies, Sequential module Spatial statistics techniques such as IDW [9], DDW [10], Kriging to incorporate the temporal dynamics, and an Attention block to [1, 7], and its variants are not suitable for the interpolation learn the importance of the temporal neighborhood around the problem because of the following reasons: (a) high execution time gap. We evaluate DGIN on the MODIS reflectance dataset from (in case of Kriging), (b) strong assumptions on the nature of spatial two different regions. Our experimental results indicate that DGIN relationships (such as inverse relationship in case of IDW), (c) has two advantages: (a) it outperforms alternative approaches (has prior assumption and/or knowledge on statistical properties of data lower MSE with p-value 0.01) and, (b) it has significantly low (e.g., precise knowledge of the mean in case of Simple Kriging and execution time than Kriging.
