Abstract

In this paper, we propose a dual-process cognitive recommendation system for sequential recommendations. The framework includes an intuitive representation module (System 1) and an inference module (System 2). System 1 is designed to understand the user’s historical interaction sequences with external knowledge graph. System 2 is built to make recommendations by reinforcement learning to consider long-term returns and diversity. We demonstrate the performance of our method on a wide range of recommendation datasets. Experiments show significant improvement over the state-of-the-art models regarding both relevance and diversity.
