Abstract: Factorization Machine (FM)-based models can only reveal the relationship between a pair of features. With all feature embeddings fed to a MLP, DNN-based factorization models which combine FM with multi-layer perceptron (MLP) can only reveal the relationship among some features implicitly. Some other DNN-based methods apply CNN to generate feature interactions. However, (1) they model feature interactions at the bit-wise (where only part of an embedding is utilized to generate feature interactions), which can not express the semantics of features comprehensively, (2) they can only model the interactions among the neighboring features. To deal with aforementioned problems, this paper proposes a Multi-Branch Convolutional Network (MBCN) which includes three branches: the standard convolutional layer, the dilated convolutional layer and the bias layer. MBCN is able to explicitly model feature interactions with arbitrary orders at the vector-wise, which fully express context-aware feature semantics. Extensive experiments on three public benchmark datasets are conducted to demonstrate the superiority of MBCN, compared to the state-of-the-art baselines for context-aware top-k recommendation.
