Abstract
Diversified recommendation systems have gained increasing popularity in recent years. Nowadays, the emerged graph neural networks (GNNs) have been used to improve the diversity performance. Although some progresses have been made, existing works purely focus on the user–item interactions and overlook the category information, which limits the capability to capture complex diversification among users or items and leads to poor performance. In this article, our target is to integrate full category information into user and item embeddings. To this end, we propose a diversified GNN-based recommendation systems diversified graph recommendation with contrastive learning (DCL). Specifically, we design three key components in our model: 1) the user–item interaction with category-related sampling enhances the interaction of unpopular items; 2) contrastive learning between users and categories shortens the distance of representations between users and their uninteracted categories; and 3) contrastive learning between items and categories diverges the distance of representations between items and their corresponding categories. By applying these three modules, we build a multitask training framework to achieve a balance between accuracy and diversity. Experiments on real-world datasets show that our proposed DCL achieves optimal diversity while paying a little price for accuracy.
期刊介绍:
IEEE Transactions on Computational Social Systems focuses on such topics as modeling, simulation, analysis and understanding of social systems from the quantitative and/or computational perspective. "Systems" include man-man, man-machine and machine-machine organizations and adversarial situations as well as social media structures and their dynamics. More specifically, the proposed transactions publishes articles on modeling the dynamics of social systems, methodologies for incorporating and representing socio-cultural and behavioral aspects in computational modeling, analysis of social system behavior and structure, and paradigms for social systems modeling and simulation. The journal also features articles on social network dynamics, social intelligence and cognition, social systems design and architectures, socio-cultural modeling and representation, and computational behavior modeling, and their applications.
