Abstract
Embodiments for training a recommendation system to provide merchant recommendations comprise receiving, by a processor, raw merchant embeddings and raw user embeddings generated from payment transaction records, wherein the raw merchant embeddings include a plurality of embedded features. A generative adversarial network (GAN) is trained to generate modified merchant embeddings from the raw merchant embeddings, where the modified embeddings remove a location feature. Subsequent to training and responsive to receiving a request for merchant recommendations in the target location for the target user, the GAN and a trained preference model are used to generate a list of merchant rankings based on a new set of modified merchant embeddings, past preferences of a target user, and the target location to recommend merchants in the target location.
