Sequential Modality Dropout for Robust Multi-Modal Sequential Recommendation

arXiv:2608. 10240v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multi-modal sequential recommenders assume every item carries every modality, but real product catalogs often miss images or text, and a model trained on complete data loses much of its recommendation accuracy when a modality is unavailable at serving time.
