Empowering News Recommendation with Pre-trained Language Models

Understand

Personalized news recommendation is an essential technique for online news services.

• News articles usually contain rich textual content, and accurate news modeling is important for personalized news recommendation.
• Existing news recommendation methods mainly model news texts based on traditional text modeling methods, which is not optimal for mining the deep semantic information in news texts.
• Pre-trained language models (PLMs) are powerful for natural language understanding, which has the potential for better news modeling.
