Adapting Knowledge Graphs for Behavior Denoising in Sequential Recommendation
Quick summary
arXiv:2608.21243v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Sequential recommendation predicts the next item from a user's interaction history, but not every interaction is equally informative. Real logs combine persistent preferences with temporary needs, exploration, and incidental behavior, so some interactions can distort history representations or provide unreliable supervision. Existing denoising methods judge such interactions mainly from co-occurrence, order, or model predictions, without explicit evidence from relations between items. Knowledge graphs (KGs) offer this evidence, but item popular
