Attribute preserving recommendation system based on graph attention mechanism

Abstract

A recommendation System (RS) is an emerging technology to figure out the user’s interests and intentions. As the amount of data increases exponentially, it is hard to analyze the user intentions and trigger the recommendation accordingly. In this research work, a novel recommendation system called the Deep Knowledge Graph based Attribute Preserving Recommendation (DKG-APR) is presented to analyze massive data and provide personalized recommendations to users. The Deep Knowledge Graph for Recommendation System (DKG-RS) uses Deep Convolutional Neural Network (DCNN) and attention mechanism to explicitly model high-order connections in knowledge graphs. According to empirical findings, Knowledge Graph Attention Network (KGAT) performs better than other state-of-the-art recommendation techniques like RippleNet and Neural FM. Additional research demonstrates the effectiveness of embedding propagation for high-order relation modeling and the advantages of the attention mechanism for interpretability.The results also show that user information is crucial in the recommendation system, as seen from the optimal node-drop-out ratio of 0.2, which led to the best recall value of 0.2 for all datasets.
