DCAN: Diversified News Recommendation with Coverage-Attentive Networks
share
Self-attention based models are widely used in news recommendation tasks. However, previous Attention architecture does not constrain repeated information in the user's historical behavior, which limits the power of hidden representation and leads to some problems such as information redundancy and filter bubbles. To solve this problem, we propose a personalized news recommendation model called DCAN.It captures multi-grained user-news matching signals through news encoders and user encoders. We keep updating a coverage vector to track the history of news attention and augment the vector in 4 types of ways. Then we fed the augmented Coverage vector into the Multi-headed Self-attention model to help adjust the future attention and added the Coverage regulation to the loss function(CRL), which enabled the recommendation system to consider more about differentiated information. Extensive experiments on Microsoft News Recommendation Dataset (MIND) show that our model significantly improve the diversity of news recommendations with minimal sacrifice in accuracy.
