DemiNet: Dependency-Aware Multi-Interest Network for CTR Prediction
Core Concepts
DemiNet improves CTR prediction by modeling multiple user interests with dependency-aware attention and self-supervised learning.
Abstract
Introduction:
Click-through rate (CTR) prediction is crucial for search engines, recommendations, and ads.
Existing models face challenges in extracting multiple core interests and neglecting correlations between them.
Proposed Model DemiNet:
Utilizes dependency-aware attention for accurate item representations.
Extracts multiple interests using multi-head attention on graph embeddings.
Aggregates interests using interest experts and a confidence network.
Experimental Results:
DemiNet outperforms state-of-the-art baselines on real-world datasets.
Improves overall recommendation performance significantly.

Stats
Raw user behavior sequence is noisy and intertwined, making it difficult to extract multiple core interests.
Experimental results demonstrate that DemiNet significantly improves the overall recommendation performance over several state-of-the-art baselines.
