The paper documents the migration of a live conversational recommendation system from a gradient‑boosted multiclass model to a pairwise‑binary deep recommender. It explains how reformulating the task, using negative sampling, noise injection, and attention pooling over transcript chunks enabled the new model to handle dynamic, multimodal data and long conversation context. The authors compare several architectures and loss functions, showing that the deep recommender matches or surpasses the CatBoost baseline, especially in later conversational stages.

Modern recommender systems are typically based on deep learning (DL) models, where a dense encoder learns representations of users and items. As a result, these systems often suffer from the black-box nature and computational complexity of the underlying models, making it difficult to systematically enhance their recommendation capabilities.
