Looking around you: external information enhances representations for event sequences

ArXi:2502.10205v3 Announce Type: replace Representation learning produces models in different domains, such as purchases, client transactions, and general people's behavior. However, such models for event sequences usually process each sequence in isolation, ignoring context from those that co-occur in time. This limitation is particularly problematic in domains with fast-evolving conditions, like finance and e-commerce, or when certain sequences lack recent events.
