OT-FlowRec: Optimal Transport-Guided Multi-Bridge Flow for Multimodal Sequential Recommendation
E-commerce user preferences evolve dynamically within sessions, exhibiting concurrent and multi-centric interest distributions. While existing multimodal sequential recommendation methods leverage global attention to compress historical interactions, they inadequately capture the concurrent nature of multi-interest behaviors and fail to model the underlying multi-centric distribution of user intent. To tackle this issue, we propose OT-FlowRec, an optimal transport-guided multi-bridge flow matching framework that explicitly models multi-interest distributions to facilitate multimodal sequential recommendation. Unlike single-path generative models, OT-FlowRec constructs a mixture of paralle...
