A comprehensive survey of artificial intelligence and cloud computing applications in the sports industry

This study proposes a deep learning-based analytical model to conduct an in-depth study of the relationship between consumer trust, perceived benefits, and purchase intention. This model combines natural language processing and sentiment analysis, using the BERT-LSTNet-Softmax model to extract textual features in reviews and perform temporal predictions of consumer sentiment and purchase intention. Experimental results show that this model achieves excellent performance in the e-commerce field and provides a powerful tool for in-depth understanding of consumer purchasing decisions. This research promotes the application of deep learning technology in the field of e-commerce, helps to improve the accuracy of consumer purchase intentions, and provides more support for the development of the e-commerce market and consumer decision-making.

Α ranking model based on user generated content and fuzzy logic

In an era dominated by information overload, effective recommender systems are essential for managing the deluge of data across digital platforms. Multi-stage cascade ranking systems are widely used in the industry, with retrieval and ranking being two typical stages. Retrieval methods sift through vast candidates to filter out irrelevant items, while ranking methods prioritize these candidates to present the most relevant items to users. Unlike studies focusing on the ranking stage, this survey explores the critical yet often overlooked retrieval stage of recommender systems. To achieve precise and efficient personalized retrieval, we summarize existing work in three key areas: improving similarity computation between user and item, enhancing indexing mechanisms for efficient retrieval, and optimizing training methods of retrieval. We also provide a comprehensive set of benchmarking experiments on three public datasets. Furthermore, we highlight current industrial applications through a case study on retrieval practices at a specific company, covering the entire retrieval process and online serving, along with practical implications and challenges. By detailing the retrieval stage, which is fundamental for effective recommendation, this survey aims to bridge the existing knowledge gap and serve as a cornerstone for researchers interested in optimizing this critical component of cascade recommender systems.

A Comprehensive Survey on Retrieval Methods in Recommender Systems

—Deep reinforcement learning (DRL) has been proven its efﬁciency in capturing users’ dynamic interests in recent literature. However, training a DRL agent is challenging, because of the sparse environment in recommender systems (RS), DRL agents could spend times either exploring informative user-item interaction trajectories or using existing trajectories for policy learning. It is also known as the exploration and exploitation trade-off which affects the recommendation performance signif-icantly when the environment is sparse. It is more challenging to balance the exploration and exploitation in DRL RS where RS agent need to deeply explore the informative trajectories and exploit them efﬁciently in the context of recommender systems. As a step to address this issue, We design a novel intrinsically ,otivated reinforcement learning method to increase the capability of exploring informative interaction trajectories in the sparse environment, which are further enriched via a counterfactual augmentation strategy for more efﬁcient exploitation. The ex- tensive experiments on six ofﬂine datasets and three online simulation platforms demonstrate the superiority of our model to a set of existing state-of-the-art methods.

Intrinsically Motivated Reinforcement Learning based Recommendation with Counterfactual Data Augmentation

Reinforcement learning-based recommender systems have recently gained popularity. However, the design of the reward function, on which the agent relies to optimize its recommendation policy, is often not straightforward. Exploring the causality underlying users' behavior can take the place of the reward function in guiding the agent to capture the dynamic interests of users. Moreover, due to the typical limitations of simulation environments (e.g., data inefficiency), most of the work cannot be broadly applied in large-scale situations. Although some works attempt to convert the offline dataset into a simulator, data inefficiency makes the learning process even slower. Because of the nature of reinforcement learning (i.e., learning by interaction), it cannot collect enough data to train during a single interaction. Furthermore, traditional reinforcement learning algorithms do not have a solid capability like supervised learning methods to learn from offline datasets directly. In this paper, we propose a new model named the causal decision transformer for recommender systems (CDT4Rec). CDT4Rec is an offline reinforcement learning system that can learn from a dataset rather than from online interaction. Moreover, CDT4Rec employs the transformer architecture, which is capable of processing large offline datasets and capturing both short-term and long-term dependencies within the data to estimate the causal relationship between action, state, and reward. To demonstrate the feasibility and superiority of our model, we have conducted experiments on six real-world offline datasets and one online simulator.

Deep reinforcement learning (DRL) has been proven its efficiency in capturing users’ dynamic interests in recent literature. However, training a DRL agent is challenging, because of the sparse environment in recommender systems (RS), DRL agents could spend times either exploring informative user-item interaction trajectories or using existing trajectories for policy learning. It is also known as the exploration and exploitation trade-off which affects the recommendation performance significantly when the environment is sparse. It is more challenging to balance the exploration and exploitation in DRL RS where RS agent need to deeply explore the informative trajectories and exploit them efficiently in the context of recommender systems. As a step to address this issue, We design a novel empowerment-driven exploration method to increase the capability of exploring informative interaction trajectories in the sparse environment, which are further enriched via a counterfactual augmentation strategy for more efficient exploitation. The extensive experiments on four offline datasets and an online simulation platform demonstrate the superiority of our model to a set of existing state-of-the-art methods.

Empowerment-driven Policy Gradient Learning with Counterfactual Augmentation in Recommender Systems

Recent advances in recommender systems have proved the potential of Reinforcement Learning (RL) to handle the dynamic evolution processes between users and recommender systems. However, learning to train an optimal RL agent is generally impractical with commonly sparse user feedback data in the context of recommender systems. To circumvent the lack of interaction of current RL-based recommender systems, we propose to learn a general Model-Agnostic Counterfactual Synthesis (MACS) Policy for counterfactual user interaction data augmentation. The counterfactual synthesis policy aims to synthesise counterfactual states while preserving significant information in the original state relevant to the user's interests, building upon two different training approaches we designed: learning with expert demonstrations and joint training. As a result, the synthesis of each counterfactual data is based on the current recommendation agent's interaction with the environment to adapt to users' dynamic interests. We integrate the proposed policy Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (DDPG), Soft Actor Critic (SAC) and Twin Delayed DDPG in an adaptive pipeline with a recommendation agent that can generate counterfactual data to improve the performance of recommendation. The empirical results on both online simulation and offline datasets demonstrate the effectiveness and generalisation of our counterfactual synthesis policy and verify that it improves the performance of RL recommendation agents.
