Abstract
In some embodiments, a method inputs a sequence of historical behaviors for a plurality of instances of content into a prediction network to generate a sequence of values that model the sequence of historical behaviors. A restriction on an operation performed by the prediction network is based on a characteristic of an viewing behavior. A sequence of attention scores is generated based on a similarity of a current behavior for a first instance of content to respective instances of historical behaviors in the sequence of historical behaviors. The method adjusts respective values based on corresponding attention scores to generate an adjusted sequence of values. The adjusted sequence of features are sampled to generate an output from the prediction network that models the sequence of historical behaviors based on the current behavior. The output for determining a prediction if the current behavior is indicative of the viewing behavior.
