Modality Alignment with Multi-scale Bilateral Attention for Multimodal Recommendation
Executive Impact
This paper introduces MambaRec, a novel multimodal recommendation framework that leverages multi-scale bilateral attention and global distribution alignment to enhance recommendation accuracy and efficiency. It uses a Dilated Refinement Attention Module (DREAM) for fine-grained local feature alignment and Maximum Mean Discrepancy (MMD) with contrastive loss for global consistency. A dimensionality reduction strategy further optimizes memory usage. Experiments show MambaRec outperforms existing methods in fusion quality, generalization, and efficiency, making it suitable for large-scale recommendation environments.

Overview
Innovation
Impact
Multimodal recommendation systems (MRS) are becoming foundational for e-commerce and content platforms, improving personalized services by jointly modeling user behaviors and item features. However, existing methods often suffer from suboptimal fusion quality due to insufficient fine-grained cross-modal associations and representational bias from lack of global distribution-level consistency. MambaRec addresses these limitations through a novel framework.
MambaRec introduces the Dilated Refinement Attention Module (DREAM) for multi-scale, channel-wise, and spatial attention-guided local feature alignment. It also applies Maximum Mean Discrepancy (MMD) and contrastive loss for global distribution regularization, ensuring semantic consistency and robustness. A dimensionality reduction strategy optimizes computational cost and memory.
MambaRec significantly outperforms existing methods in fusion quality, generalization, and efficiency across real-world e-commerce datasets. Its dual regularization and attention mechanisms mitigate noise interference, enhance information extraction, and alleviate semantic degradation, making it highly effective for large-scale recommendation systems and robust against data sparsity and cold-start problems.

Performance Improvement Highlight
21.02% Improvement in Recall@20 (Baby Dataset) over next best baseline| Feature | Traditional Methods | MambaRec Approach |
|---|---|---|
| Local Feature Alignment | Static linear projections, simplistic fusion, limited fine-grained semantic capture. | Dilated Refinement Attention Module (DREAM): Multi-scale dilated convolutions, channel & spatial attention for fine-grained semantic patterns. |
| Global Distribution Consistency | Lack global constraints, semantic misalignment, representational bias. | Maximum Mean Discrepancy (MMD) & contrastive loss for global modality alignment and semantic consistency. |
| Computational Efficiency | High-dimensional features cause memory consumption and noise interference. | Dimensionality reduction strategy, multi-stage feature conversion for reduced memory and enhanced robustness. |
Real-World E-commerce Performance
In practical e-commerce scenarios, MambaRec significantly improves user experience by providing more accurate and relevant recommendations. Its robust design handles the complexities of heterogeneous multimodal data, addressing issues like cold start and data sparsity more effectively than previous models. This leads to higher user engagement and conversion rates, directly translating to business value. For example, on the Baby dataset, MambaRec achieved a Recall@20 of 0.1013, outperforming the next best baseline by a considerable margin.
