D-HAN: Dynamic News Recommendation with Hierarchical Attention Network

Abstract

News recommendation models often fall short in capturing users' preferences due to their static approach to user-news interactions. To address this limitation, we present a novel dynamic news recommender model that seamlessly integrates continuous time information to a hierarchical attention network that effectively represents news information at the sentence, element, and sequence levels. Moreover, we introduce a dynamic negative sampling method to optimize users' implicit feedback. To validate our model's effectiveness, we conduct extensive experiments on three real-world datasets. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed approach.
