Abstract
Multi-behavior sequential recommendation (MBSRec) is a form of sequential recommendation. It leverages users’ historical interaction behavior types to better predict their next actions. This approach fits real-world scenarios better than traditional models do. With the rise of the transformer model, attention mechanisms are widely used in recommendation algorithms. However, they suffer from low-pass filtering, and the simple learnable positional encodings in existing models offer limited performance gains. To address these problems, we introduce the context-aware multi-behavior sequential recommendation model (CAMBSRec). It separately encodes items and behavior types, replaces traditional positional encoding with context-similarity positional encoding, and applies the discrete Fourier transform to separate the high and low frequency components and enhance the high frequency components, countering the low-pass filtering effect. Experiments on three public datasets show that CAMBSRec performs better than five baseline models, demonstrating its advantages in terms of recommendation performance.
