Abstract:
Personalized recommender systems are playing an increasingly critical role in a variety of online applications. In recent years, advancements in graph-structured deep neural networks have attracted considerable interest and achieved state-of-the-art performance on recommender system benchmarks. However, existing graph-based recommendation methods generally characterize each user with just one representation vector, which is insufficient to convey diverse preferences of users. To address this issue, in this paper, we approach the learning of user representations from a different perspective, by modeling users based on multiple representation embeddings. We propose a Multiple Preferences with Item Attributes for Graph Convolutional Collaborative Filtering (MPIA) framework built upon the message-aggregation concept of graph neural networks, which can generate preference-specific user representations to better model the diverse preferences of users. By taking advantage of graph representation learning techniques, MPIA learns preference-specific embeddings for users and attribute-specific embeddings for items. Moreover, we utilize shared embeddings for user and item representations to obtain the commonalities in multiple networks. Specifically, we construct a user-item bipartite graph for each preference, and enrich the representation of each node with the topological structure and features of its neighbors. We also design a preference-attribute fusion method to acquire more accurate item retrievals for every aspect of interest. Extensive experiments conducted on three real-world datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed MPIA framework.
