Abstract:
Collaborative Reasoning (CR) aims to view users' historical behaviors as logical expressions to generate recommendations. Existing neural CR models embed users and items as points in a latent space and define each logical operator with one neural network constrained by many logical regularizers, which causes difficulties in modelling uncertainty and training networks. To address these shortcomings, this paper develops a probabilistic embedding based CR model BeCR for recommendation tasks. In BeCR, we encode each user or item as a Beta embedding (each element follows a Beta distribution) and then define probabilistic logical negation and conjunction operators on these embeddings. The proposed model can naturally characterize the uncertainty and satisfy basic logical rules without any logical regularizer. With our logical operators, the embedding of a user is capable of filling the gap between reasoning and personalization. Based on it, BeCR is extended to a personalized recommendation model BeCR4p. Experimental results on three benchmark datasets demonstrate that our models achieve competitive performance against eight state-of-the-art baselines.
