Revisiting cognitive process-driven model with sentiment-infused user preference for recommendation
摘要
Deep learning leverages textual feedback and contextual cues to improve rating prediction accuracy through simulated cognitive reasoning. User reviews provide critical insights for accurate preference modeling. Sentiment analysis identifies intrinsic preferences and behavioral patterns, improving user requirement comprehension. An attention-based deep learning framework with sentiment-infused preference modeling (DeepSU) is proposed to emulate human cognition effectively. Multidimensional preferences are captured by extracting salient features from travel platforms. Sentiment consistency detection identifies anomalous reviews by comparing inferred sentiment with ratings to refine the dataset. A co-attention mechanism integrates user features and sentiment estimations through learned attention weights, generating embeddings that encode personalized characteristics and affective tendencies toward attractions. Experimental results demonstrate that DeepSU outperforms the strongest baseline by 15.2% and 13.3% on the Ctrip travel dataset. It achieves lower RMSE than baseline methods under data sparsity and maintains performance advantages as the input scale increases, while keeping training time minimal. Ablation studies indicate that the sentiment analysis module contributes more significantly to overall performance than the user preference module. Evaluations on datasets from two distinct travel platforms demonstrate consistent superiority over baseline techniques, confirming robust generalization and reliability.
