Abstract
Negative sampling is essential for implicit collaborative filtering to provide proper negative training signals so as to achieve desirable performance. We experimentally unveil a common limitation of all existing negative sampling methods that they can only select negative samples of a fixed hardness level, leading to the false positive problem (FPP) and false negative problem (FNP). We then propose a new paradigm called adaptive hardness negative sampling (AHNS) and discuss its three key criteria. By adaptively selecting negative samples with appropriate hardnesses during the training process, AHNS can well mitigate the impacts of FPP and FNP. Next, we present a concrete instantiation of AHNS called AHNS_{p
