Recommendation Datasets

Recommendation datasets are crucial for developing and evaluating algorithms that personalize suggestions for users across various domains, from e-commerce to music streaming. Current research emphasizes improving model accuracy and efficiency by incorporating sequential user interactions, leveraging pre-trained language models and knowledge distillation for lightweight inference, and addressing challenges like data sparsity and cold-start problems through techniques such as test-time training and graph-based regularization. The development of large-scale, diverse datasets, including those reflecting consumer-to-consumer interactions and mobile app usage, is vital for advancing the field and enabling more robust and realistic evaluations of recommendation systems. This work ultimately impacts the user experience and business outcomes of many online platforms.
