• [Call for papers]: I'm serving as the special issue guest editor of Entropy Journal (SCI:Q2) on "Information Network Mining and Applications". Deadline for manuscript submissions is extended to Oct.31, 2023. Detailed information can be referred to this website [Link].
• [LLM for Recommendation Survey]: We released a survey for Large Language Models with Recommendation, which presents a taxonomy that categorizes these models into two major paradigms, respectively Discriminative LLM for Recommendation (DLLM4Rec) and Generative LLM for Recommendation (GLLM4Rec), and identify key challenges and several valuable findings to provide researchers and practitioners with inspiration. If you are interested in it, please refer to our Survey Paper and Github Project or directly contact us to help continuously improve this paper.
• [User Modeling Tutorial]: User Behavior Modeling (UBM) plays a critical role in user interest learning, and has been extensively used in recommender systems. We introduce our tutorial on “User Behavior Modeling with Deep Learning for Recommendation: Recent Advances” at RecSys'2023, aiming to offer an in-depth exploration of this evolving research topic.
