Abstract: In recent years,the research of sequential recommendation has developed rapidly in the recommendation field,existing methods are good at capturing users’ sequential behavior to achieve preference prediction.Among them,some advanced methods integrate users’ sentiment information to guide behavior mining.However,the advanced sentiment-based models do not consider mining relations between multi-category user sentiment sequences.Moreover,such methods cannot intuitively explain the contribution of temporal sentiments to user preferences.To make up for the above shortcomings,this paper first attempts to store temporal sentiments in the form of memory and impose constraints on them.Specifically,this research proposes two mechanisms including sentiment self-constraint and sentiment mutual-constraint to explore the associations between multiple categories of sentiments and assist user behaviors in completing sequential recommendations.Furthermore,the proposed memory framework is able to record users’ temporal sentiment attention,so that it can provide a certain degree of intuitive explanation on the basis of accurately predicting users’ temporal preference.Experimental results show that our approach outperforms existing state-of-the-art sequential methods,and it has better explainable effects than the sentiment-based sequential recommendation models.
