With the development of the online education system, personalized education recommendation has played an essential role. In this paper, we focus on developing path recommendation systems that aim to generating and recommending an entire learning path to the given user in each session. Noticing that existing approaches fail to consider the correlations of concepts in the path, we propose a novel framework named Set-to-Sequence Ranking-based Concept-aware Learning Path Recommendation (SRC), which formulates the recommendation task under a set-to-sequence paradigm. Specifically, we first design a concept-aware encoder module which can capture the correlations among the input learning concepts. The outputs are then fed into a decoder module that sequentially generates a path through an attention mechanism that handles correlations between the learning and target concepts. Our recommendation policy is optimized by policy gradient. In addition, we also introduce an auxiliary module based on knowledge tracing to enhance the model’s stability by evaluating students’ learning effects on learning concepts. We conduct extensive experiments on two real-world public datasets and one industrial dataset, and the experimental results demonstrate the superiority and effectiveness of SRC. Code now is available at https://gitee.com/mindspore/models/tree/master/research/recommend/SRC.

Videos such as movies or TV episodes usually need to divide the long storyline into cohesive units, i.e., scenes, to facilitate the understanding of video semantics. The key challenge lies in finding the boundaries of scenes by comprehensively considering the complex temporal structure and semantic information. To this end, we introduce a novel Context-Aware Transformer (CAT) with a self-supervised learning framework to learn high-quality shot representations, for generating well-bounded scenes. More specifically, we design the CAT with local-global self-attentions, which can effectively consider both the long-term and short-term context to improve the shot encoding. For training the CAT, we adopt the self-supervised learning schema. Firstly, we leverage shot-to-scene level pretext tasks to facilitate the pre-training with pseudo boundary, which guides CAT to learn the discriminative shot representations that maximize intra-scene similarity and inter-scene discrimination in an unsupervised manner. Then, we transfer contextual representations for fine-tuning the CAT with supervised data, which encourages CAT to accurately detect the boundary for scene segmentation. As a result, CAT is able to learn the context-aware shot representations and provides global guidance for scene segmentation. Our empirical analyses show that CAT can achieve state-of-the-art performance when conducting the scene segmentation task on the MovieNet dataset, e.g., offering 2.15 improvements on AP.
