Federated Recommendation with Additive Personalization

Building recommendation systems via federated learning (FL) is a new emerging challenge for advancing next-generation Internet service and privacy protection. Existing approaches train shared item embedding by FL while keeping the user embedding private on client side. However, item embedding identical for all clients cannot capture users' individual differences on perceiving the same item and thus leads to poor personalization. Moreover, dense item embedding in FL results in expensive communication cost and latency. To address these challenges, we propose Federated …
