Improving Automatic Recommendation by Modeling Intrinsic and Extrinsic Motivation with Q-learning

Published:06 October 2021Publication History

ABSTRACT

To understand users’ needs is an essential problem of automatic recommendation. Current researches often describe users' needs through their side attributes. However, motivation is the direct reason of users’ needs and choice behavior. In real social scenario, it is a challenge to measure the complex motivation of users. Inspired by psychological definitions, in recommendation, we propose to distinguish the Intrinsic Motivation driven by each individual's internal interests and the Extrinsic Motivation coming from the influence of social group. With latent factors of users and items, two motivations are separately modeled and integrated for recommendation with Q-learning (Off-policy), which improve the effectiveness and explainability of recommendation. Experiments on real-world datasets demonstrate the validity of our model compared with state-of-the-art methods.
