Analysis of Data Augmentation for Federated Sequential Recommendation

초록/요약

Federated learning is a trending method of solving privacy issues in recommendation systems. Due to its distributional manner of training, it brings up interesting challenges such as reducing communications, solving the recommendation quality gap between centralized training, and generalizing over users who don’t participate in the training. While data augmentations have been used in other studies to solve this problem, they have not yet been examined in the federated recommendation system. In this study, we analyze popular data augmentation methods used in sequential recommendation systems for dataset statistics and different settings for federated learning. Our results showed that both factors are crucial in determining the best augmentation strategies.
