A Technique to Model Product Information and User Reviews (MPIUR)

arXiv:2611.13361v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modern e-commerce platforms naturally provide three complementary modalities: textual item descriptions, item images, and user reviews. However, existing multimodal recommendation methods often omit reviews or do not integrate all three modalities within a unified framework. In this paper, we propose MPIUR, a multimodal graph-based recommendation model that encodes reviews in heterogeneous graphs, aligns image and text representations, and adapts collaborative--semantic alignment to item interaction density. Experiments on the Amazon Reviews 2023 Musical Instruments and Baby categories show that MPIUR achieves the best global nDCG@10 and Recall@10 among the evaluated methods on both datasets. It also obtains the best nDCG@10 and Recall@10 on sparse items, indicating that jointly exploiting reviews and multimodal item content is particularly useful when interaction histories are limited.
