CHIME: A Compressive Framework for Holistic Interest Modeling

Year: 2025
Type: preprint
Abstract: Modeling holistic user interests is important for improving recommendation systems but is challenged by high computational cost and difficulty in handling diverse information with full behavior context. Existing search-based methods might lose critical signals during behavior selection. To overcome these limitations, we propose CHIME: A Compressive Framework for Holistic Interest Modeling. It uses adapted large language models to encode complete user behaviors with heterogeneous inputs. We introduce multi-granular contrastive learning objectives to capture both persistent and transient interest patterns and apply residual vector quantization to generate compact embeddings. CHIME demonstrates superior ranking performance across diverse datasets, establishing a robust solution for scalable holistic interest modeling in recommendation systems.
