In plain words: Instead of only reading the current shopping session in order, it pulls in similar past sessions and weighs them by how recent they are to help guess the next item. It beat the usual session-only approach on two real-world datasets.

Abstract · Neighborhood-Enhanced and Time-Aware Model for Session-based Recommendation

Session based recommendation has become one of the research hotpots in the field of recommendation systems due to its highly practical value.Previous deep learning methods mostly focus on the sequential characteristics within the current session,and neglect the context similarity and temporal similarity between sessions which contain abundant collaborative information.In this paper,we propose a novel neural networks framework,namely Neighborhood Enhanced and Time Aware Recommendation Machine(NETA) for session based recommendation. Firstly,we introduce an efficient neighborhood retrieve mechanism to find out similar sessions which includes collaborative information.Then we design a guided attention with time-aware mechanism to extract collaborative representation from neighborhood sessions.Especially,temporal recency between sessions is considered separately.Finally, we design a simple co-attention mechanism to determine the importance of complementary collaborative representation when predicting the next item.Extensive experiments conducted on two real-world datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed model.
