KCIRec: Fusion of Knowledge Graph Information and Collaborative
Information for Recommendation
Abstract
Traditional recommender systems that are based on CF (Collaborative
Filtering) usually suffer from the user-item interaction data sparsity
problem. With the development of end-to-end models founded on GNNs, the
sparsity issue can be addressed by introducing additional sources of
information such as knowledge information. However, these models are
insufficient to fuse multi-source information. To fill this gap, in this
paper, we propose an end-to-end GNN based model called KCIRec,
which fuses both K _ nowledge graph C _ ollaborative information and
user-item I _ nteraction information for Rec _ ommender
system.Technically, a type of two-channels’ information propagation and
aggregation mechanism are conceived to generate the representation of
user-item interactions graph and collaborative knowledge graph
respectively.In addition, we design an attention mechanism to adaptively
fuse the collaborative information and knowledge graph information
extracted from the above two graph. Extensive experiments on three
real-world datasets show improvements of our proposed KCIRec model over
thestate-of-the-art methods such as KGNN-LS, KGAT, and CKE. The
promising results show that the proposed KCIRec is able to effectively
fuse knowledge graph information and improve recommender systems’
accuracy.
