Generating digital recommendations utilizing collaborative filtering, reinforcement learning, and inclusive sets of negative feedback

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media that utilize collaborative filtering and a reinforcement learning model having an actor-critic framework to provide digital content items across client devices. In particular, in one or more embodiments, the disclosed systems monitor interactions of a client device with one or more digital content items to generate item embeddings (e.g., utilizing a collaborative filtering model). The disclosed systems further utilize a reinforcement learning model to generate a recommendation (e.g., determine one or more additional digital content items to provide to the client device) based on the user interactions. In some implementations, the disclosed systems utilize the reinforcement learning model to analyze every negative and positive interaction observed when generating the recommendation. Further, the disclosed systems utilize the reinforcement learning model to analyze item embeddings, which encode the relationships among the digital content items, when generating the recommendation.
