M3TR: Temporal Retrieval Enhanced Multi-Modal Micro-video Popularity Prediction

M3TR is a temporal retrieval‑enhanced multi‑modal framework for predicting micro‑video popularity. It introduces a Mamba‑Hawkes Process module to model user feedback as self‑exciting events, capturing long‑range temporal dependencies. A temporal‑aware retrieval engine then identifies historically relevant videos by combining multi‑modal content similarity with popularity trajectory similarity, augmenting the target video’s features for improved prediction accuracy.

Drift-Aware Multimodal User Representation Learning via Multi-Scale Temporal Modeling and Sparse Mixture-of-Experts

The paper introduces DUMoE, a drift‑aware multimodal user representation framework that models user preferences over time by integrating static profiles, short‑term signals, and long‑term dependencies. It employs a sparse mixture‑of‑experts interest adapter, where each expert captures a distinct latent interest and a gating network selects relevant experts for each user. A three‑stage training strategy decouples backbone learning, expert specialization, and gating optimization, and experiments on real social media data demonstrate that DUMoE outperforms existing methods in user interest and interaction prediction.

Bridging the Semantic-Collaborative Gap: An Asymmetric Graph Architecture for Cold-Start Item Recommendation

arXiv:2606. 06225v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Collaborative filtering and graph-based recommendation models are highly effective because they leverage observed user interactions, but this dependence creates a fundamental cold-start challenge when newly added content has no interaction history.
