Multi-view user representation learning for user matching without personal information (2312.14533v1)
Abstract: As the digitization of travel industry accelerates, analyzing and understanding travelers' behaviors becomes increasingly important. However, traveler data frequently exhibit high data sparsity due to the relatively low frequency of user interactions with travel providers. Compounding this effect the multiplication of devices, accounts and platforms while browsing travel products online also leads to data dispersion. To deal with these challenges, probabilistic traveler matching can be used. Most existing solutions for user matching are not suitable for traveler matching as a traveler's browsing history is typically short and URLs in the travel industry are very heterogeneous with many tokens. To deal with these challenges, we propose the similarity based multi-view information fusion to learn a better user representation from URLs by treating the URLs as multi-view data. The experimental results show that the proposed multi-view user representation learning can take advantage of the complementary information from different views, highlight the key information in URLs and perform significantly better than other representation learning solutions for the user matching task.
