| contents | We introduce a new sequential transformer reinforcement learning architecture RLT4Rec and demonstrate that it achieves excellent performance in a range of item recommendation tasks. RLT4Rec uses a relatively simple transformer architecture that takes as input the user's (item,rating) history and outputs the next item to present to the user. Unlike existing RL approaches, there is no need to input a state observation or estimate. RLT4Rec handles new users and established users within the same consistent framework and automatically balances the "exploration" needed to discover the preferences of a new user with the "exploitation" that is more appropriate for established users. Training of RLT4Rec is robust and fast and is insensitive to the choice of training data, learning to generate "good" personalised sequences that the user tends to rate highly even when trained on "bad" data. |
