Feedback-Guided Visual Extraction

Teach Multimodal Recommendation Model to See via Personalized Visual Extraction and Adaptive Learning

Announce Type: new Abstract: Multimodal sequential recommendation (MSR) incorporates textual and visual information to improve recommendation quality. However, recent studies and our empirical analysis show that visual features are often underutilized, thereby contributing far less than textual signals. We attribute this issue to two factors: insufficient visual representation learning (pretrained encoders fail to capture preference-relevant cues) and unbalanced visual-text optimization...
