Abstract:

Concerning the failure of most current recommendation models based on knowledge graph to adequately model users’ characteristics, the neighborhood relationship between entities in the knowledge graph is not considered. This paper proposes a hybrid recommendation model that combines knowledge graph and graph convolutional network (HKC). Firstly, the KGCN (knowledge graph convolutional networks for recommender systems) algorithm is used to capture the correlation between items, and obtain the feature vector of the item through neighborhood aggregation unit. The entities associated with the user in the knowledge graph are extracted through collaborative propagation. Then the model uses the alternate learning method to optimize the model prediction unit and the knowledge graph embedding unit at the same time, and calculate the user’s feature vector through the interaction unit. Finally, the user feature vector and the item feature vector are sent to the prediction link and the interaction probability between the user and the item is calculated through the inner product operation and normalization of the vector. Comparative experiments are conducted on three public datasets with seven baseline models. On the MovieLens-1M dataset, AUC is increased by 0.25% to 37.41%, and ACC is increased by 0.78% to 49.44%; on the Book-Crossing dataset, AUC is increased by 0.04% to 19.38%, and ACC is increased by 6.49% to 18.60%; on the Last.FM dataset, AUC is increased by 1.33% to 33.50%, and ACC is increased by 0.36% to 30.66%. Experimental results show that the model proposed has improved performance compared with other benchmark models.

摘要:

针对当前多数基于知识图谱的推荐模型未能充分对用户特征建模,且未考虑知识图谱中实体间的邻域关系的问题,提出了一种融合知识图谱与图卷积网络的混合推荐模型(HKC)。首先,利用KGCN算法捕捉项目间的相关性,通过邻域聚合计算得到项目的特征向量;然后,通过协作传播提取知识图谱中与用户相联系的实体,使用交替学习的方式同时优化模型预测单元和知识图谱嵌入单元,通过交互单元计算得到用户的特征向量;最后,将用户特征向量和项目特征向量送入预测环节,通过向量的内积运算以及归一化操作计算用户与项目的交互概率。在三种公开数据集上与七个基线模型进行了对比实验,在MovieLens-1M数据集上,AUC提升了0.25%~37.41%,ACC提升了0.78%~49.44%;在Book-Crossing数据集上,AUC提升了0.04%~19.38%,ACC提升了6.49%~18.60%;在Last.FM数据集上,AUC提升了1.33%~33.50%,ACC提升了0.36%~30.66%。实验结果表明,提出的混合推荐模型与其他具有代表性的推荐模型相比具有良好的推荐性能。
