SGNNRec: A Scalable Double-Layer Attention-Based Graph Neural Network Recommendation Model

Abstract Due to the information from the multi-relationship graphs is difficult to aggregate, the graph neural network recommendation model focuses on single-relational graphs (e.g., the user-item rating bipartite graph and user-user social relationship graphs). However, existing graph neural network recommendation models have insufficient flexibility. The recommendation accuracy instead decreases when low-quality auxiliary information is aggregated in the recommendation model. This paper proposes a scalable graph neural network recommendation model named SGNNRec. SGNNRec fuse a variety of auxiliary information (e.g., user social information, item tag information and user-item interaction information) beside user-item rating as supplements to solve the problem of data sparsity. A tag cluster-based item-semantic graph method and an apriori algorithm-based user-item interaction graph method are proposed to realize the construction of graph relations. Furthermore, a double-layer attention network is designed to learn the influence of latent factors. Thus, the latent factors are to be optimized to obtain the best recommendation results. Empirical results on real-world datasets verify the effectiveness of our model. SGNNRec can reduce the influence of poor auxiliary information; moreover, with increasing the number of auxiliary information, the model accuracy improves.
