Heterogeneous Information Network-based Interest Composition with Graph Neural Network for Recommendation
share
Heterogeneous information network (HIN) is widely applied to recommendation systems due to its capability of modeling various auxiliary information with meta-path. However, existing HIN-based recommendation models usually fuse the information from various meta-paths by simple weighted sum or concatenation, which limits the improvement of performance because it lacks the capability of interest compositions among meta-paths. In this article, we propose a HIN-based Interest Composition model for Recommendation (HicRec). Specially, the representations of users and items are learnt with graph neural network on both graph structure and features in each meta-path, and a parameter sharing mechanism is utilized here to ensure the representations of users and items are in the same latent space. Then, users' interest on each item from each pair of related meta-paths is calculated by a combination of the representations of users and items. The composed interests of users are obtained by a composition of them from both intra- and inter-meta-paths for recommendation. Extensive experiments are conducted on three real-world datasets and the results demonstrate the outperformance of our proposed HicRec against the baselines.
