- Designed a multi-modal item representation learning framework that integrates item-item relationships and diverse content modalities, achieving up to a 39.2% improvement over current methods across five real-world datasets, with strong effectiveness in cold-start and sparse data scenarios.
- Implemented an invariant item representation learning framework to address spurious multi-modal item information in sequential recommendation, demonstrating up to a 10.5% improvement over existing methods on multiple real-world datasets, particularly excelling in cold-start scenarios. <!– * Designed a multi-modal item representation learning framework that incorporates item-item relationships and diverse content modalities to enhance substitute and complementary item recommendations.
