Abstract

With the rapid development of deep learning in artificial intelligence, sequential recommendation systems play an increasingly important role in e-commerce, social media, digital entertainment, and other fields. This work systematically reviews the research progress of deep learning in sequential recommendation systems from a methodological perspective. This paper focuses on analyzing three dominant technical paradigms: contrastive learning, graph neural networks, and attention mechanisms, elucidating their theoretical innovations and evolutionary trajectories in sequential recommendation systems. Through empirical investigation, we categorize the prevailing evaluation metrics, benchmark datasets, and characteristic distributions of typical application scenarios within this domain. This work further proposes promising avenues for sequential recommendation systems in the future.
Keywords: sequential recommendation system; deep learning; graph neural network; contrastive learning; attention mechanism sequential recommendation system; deep learning; graph neural network; contrastive learning; attention mechanism
