Next basket recommendation aims to provide users a basket of items on the next visit by considering the sequence of their historical baskets. However, since a user's purchase interests vary over time, historical baskets often contain many irrelevant items to his/her next choices. Therefore, it is necessary to denoise the sequence of historical baskets and reserve the indeed relevant items to enhance the recommendation performance. In this work, we propose a Hierarchical Reinforcement Learning framework for next Basket recommendation, named HRL4Ba, which learns the personalized inter-basket and intra-basket contexts of the user for dynamic denoising. Specifically, the high-level and the low-level agent in the denoising module perform hierarchical decisions, i.e., revise baskets and remove items; the recommendation module serves as the environment to give feedback to agents and recommends the next basket. Extensive experiments on two e-commerce datasets show the HRL4Ba outperforms existing state-of-the-art methods, and our ablation studies further show the effectiveness of each component in HRL4Ba.
