Automated Similarity Metric Generation For Recommendation

Abstract

The embedding-based architecture has become the dominant approach in modern recommender systems, mapping users and items into a compact vector space. It then employs predefined similarity metrics, such as the inner product, to calculate similarity scores between user and item embeddings, thereby guiding the recommendation of items that align closely with a user's preferences. Given the critical role of similarity metrics in recommender systems, existing methods mainly employ handcrafted similarity metrics to capture the complex characteristics of user-item interactions. Yet, handcrafted metrics may not fully capture the diverse range of similarity patterns that can significantly vary across different domains. To address this issue, we propose an Automated Similarity Metric Generation method for recommendations, named AutoSMG, which can generate tailored similarity metrics for various domains and datasets. Specifically, we first construct a similarity metric space by sampling from a s
