Transformers4Rec is an advanced recommendation system library that leverages Transformer models for sequential and session-based recommendations. The library works as a bridge between natural language processing (NLP) and recommender systems (RecSys) by integrating with one of the most popular NLP frameworks, Hugging Face Transformers (HF). Transformers4Rec makes state-of-the-art transformer architectures available for RecSys researchers and industry practitioners. Traditional recommendation algorithms usually ignore the temporal dynamics and the sequence of interactions when trying to model user behavior. ...

...In contrast, generalized additive models (GAMs) can maintain interpretability but often suffer from poor prediction performance due to their inability to effectively capture feature interactions. In this work, we aim to bridge this gap by using pre-trained neural language models to extract embeddings for each input before learning a linear model in the embedding space. The final model (which we call Emb-GAM) is a transparent, linear function of its input features and feature interactions. Leveraging the language model allows Emb-GAM to learn far fewer linear coefficients, model larger interactions, and generalize well to novel inputs. ...
