Entropy-Enhanced Attention Model for Explanation Recommendation.

Most of the existing recommendation systems using deep learning are based on the method of RNN (Recurrent Neural Network). However, due to some inherent defects of RNN, recommendation systems based on RNN are not only very time consuming but also unable to capture the long-range dependencies between user comments. Through the sentiment analysis of user comments, we can better capture the characteristics of user interest. Information entropy can reduce the adverse impact of noise words on the construction of user interests. Information entropy is used to analyze the user information content and filter out users with low information entropy to achieve the purpose of filtering noise data. A self-attention recommendation model based on entropy regularization is proposed to analyze the emotional polarity of the data set. Specifically, to model the mixed interactions from user comments, a multi-head self-attention network is introduced. The loss function of the model is used to realize the interpretability of recommendation systems. The experiment results show that our model outperforms the baseline methods in terms of MAP (Mean Average Precision) and NDCG (Normalized Discounted Cumulative Gain) on several datasets, and it achieves good interpretability.
