Idea
A recommendation platform that enhances personalized content marketing by combining user behavior sequences with global data augmentation for better ad targeting.
Research Paper
Core Innovation
This paper introduces SeqUDA-Rec, which uniquely integrates a global user-item interaction graph with graph contrastive learning and a sequential Transformer encoder to model user preferences. It further innovates by using GAN-based data augmentation to generate realistic interaction patterns, addressing label sparsity and noise issues. This combination improves recommendation robustness and accuracy beyond existing methods.

Research Paper Overview
SeqUDA-Rec: Sequential User Behavior Enhanced Recommendation via Global Unsupervised Data Augmentation for Personalized Content Marketing
Summary
This paper proposes SeqUDA-Rec, a deep learning framework that improves personalized content marketing by integrating user behavior sequences with global unsupervised data augmentation. It constructs a Global User-Item Interaction Graph to capture item associations and applies graph contrastive learning for robust embeddings. A Transformer-based encoder models evolving user preferences, while a GAN-based augmentation generates plausible interaction patterns to enhance training data. Experiments on Amazon Ads and TikTok Ad Clicks datasets show significant improvements over state-of-the-art baselines in recommendation accuracy and robustness.
