Due to the flexibility in modelling data heterogeneity, heterogeneous information network (HIN) has been adopted to characterize complex and heterogeneous auxiliary data in top-$N$ recommender systems, called emph{HIN-based recommendation}. HIN characterizes complex, heterogeneous data relations, containing a variety of information that may not be related to the recommendation task. Therefore, it is challenging to effectively leverage useful information from HINs for improving the recommendation performance. To address the above issue, we propose a Curriculum pre-training based HEterogeneous Subgraph Transformer (called emph{CHEST}) with new emph{data characterization}, emph{representation model} and emph{learning algorithm}. Specifically, we consider extracting useful information from HIN to compose the interaction-specific heterogeneous subgraph, containing both sufficient and relevant context information for recommendation. Then we capture the rich semantics (eg graph structure and path semantics) within the subgraph via a heterogeneous subgraph Transformer, where we encode the subgraph with multi-slot sequence representations. Besides, we design a curriculum pre-training strategy to provide an elementary-to-advanced learning process, by which we smoothly transfer basic semantics in HIN for modeling user-item interaction relation. Extensive experiments conducted on three real-world datasets demonstrate the superiority of our proposed method over a number of competitive baselines, especially when only limited training data is available.
Side information of items, e.g., images and text description, has shown to be effective in contributing to accurate recommendations. Inspired by the recent success of pre-training models on natural language and images, we propose a pre-training strat
Sequential Recommendation characterizes the evolving patterns by modeling item sequences chronologically. The essential target of it is to capture the item transition correlations. The recent developments of transformer inspire the community to desig
Next basket recommendation, which aims to predict the next a few items that a user most probably purchases given his historical transactions, plays a vital role in market basket analysis. From the viewpoint of item, an item could be purchased by diff
Recommender systems aim to provide item recommendations for users, and are usually faced with data sparsity problem (e.g., cold start) in real-world scenarios. Recently pre-trained models have shown their effectiveness in knowledge transfer between d
Personalization of natural language generation plays a vital role in a large spectrum of tasks, such as explainable recommendation, review summarization and dialog systems. In these tasks, user and item IDs are important identifiers for personalizati
