There is an influx of heterogeneous information network (HIN) based recommender systems in recent years since HIN is capable of characterizing complex graphs and contains rich semantics. Although the existing approaches have achieved performance improvement, while practical, they still face the following problems. On one hand, most existing HIN-based methods rely on explicit path reachability to leverage path-based semantic relatedness between users and items, e.g., metapath-based similarities. These methods are hard to use and integrate since path connections are sparse or noisy, and are often of different lengths. On the other hand, other graph-based methods aim to learn effective heterogeneous network representations by compressing node together with its neighborhood information into single embedding before prediction. This weakly coupled manner in modeling overlooks the rich interactions among nodes, which introduces an early summarization issue. In this paper, we propose an end-to-end Neighborhood-based Interaction Model for Recommendation (NIRec) to address the above problems. Specifically, we first analyze the significance of learning interactions in HINs and then propose a novel formulation to capture the interactive patterns between each pair of nodes through their metapath-guided neighborhoods. Then, to explore complex interactions between metapaths and deal with the learning complexity on large-scale networks, we formulate interaction in a convolutional way and learn efficiently with fast Fourier transform. The extensive experiments on four different types of heterogeneous graphs demonstrate the performance gains of NIRec comparing with state-of-the-arts. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work providing an efficient neighborhood-based interaction model in the HIN-based recommendations.

Collaborative Filtering (CF) is one of the most successful approaches for recommender systems. With the emergence of online social networks, social recommendation has become a popular research direction. Most of these social recommendation models utilized each users local neighbors preferences to alleviate the data sparsity issue in CF. However, they only considered the local neighbors of each user and neglected the process that users preferences are influenced as information diffuses in the social network. Recently, Graph Convolutional Networks~(GCN) have shown promising results by modeling the information diffusion process in graphs that leverage both graph structure and node feature information. To this end, in this paper, we propose an effective graph convolutional neural network based model for social recommendation. Based on a classical CF model, the key idea of our proposed model is that we borrow the strengths of GCNs to capture how users preferences are influenced by the social diffusion process in social networks. The diffusion of users preferences is built on a layer-wise diffusion manner, with the initial user embedding as a function of the current users features and a free base user latent vector that is not contained in the user feature. Similarly, each items latent vector is also a combination of the items free latent vector, as well as its feature representation. Furthermore, we show that our proposed model is flexible when user and item features are not available. Finally, extensive experimental results on two real-world datasets clearly show the effectiveness of our proposed model.
The purpose of the Session-Based Recommendation System is to predict the users next click according to the previous session sequence. The current studies generally learn user preferences according to the transitions of items in the users session sequence. However, other effective information in the session sequence, such as user profiles, are largely ignored which may lead to the model unable to learn the users specific preferences. In this paper, we propose a heterogeneous graph neural network-based session recommendation method, named SR-HetGNN, which can learn session embeddings by heterogeneous graph neural network (HetGNN), and capture the specific preferences of anonymous users. Specifically, SR-HetGNN first constructs heterogeneous graphs containing various types of nodes according to the session sequence, which can capture the dependencies among items, users, and sessions. Second, HetGNN captures the complex transitions between items and learns the item embeddings containing user information. Finally, to consider the influence of users long and short-term preferences, local and global session embeddings are combined with the attentional network to obtain the final session embedding. SR-HetGNN is shown to be superior to the existing state-of-the-art session-based recommendation methods through extensive experiments over two real large datasets Diginetica and Tmall.
Predicting the next interaction of a short-term interaction session is a challenging task in session-based recommendation. Almost all existing works rely on item transition patterns, and neglect the impact of user historical sessions while modeling user preference, which often leads to non-personalized recommendation. Additionally, existing personalized session-based recommenders capture user preference only based on the sessions of the current user, but ignore the useful item-transition patterns from other users historical sessions. To address these issues, we propose a novel Heterogeneous Global Graph Neural Networks (HG-GNN) to exploit the item transitions over all sessions in a subtle manner for better inferring user preference from the current and historical sessions. To effectively exploit the item transitions over all sessions from users, we propose a novel heterogeneous global graph that contains item transitions of sessions, user-item interactions and global co-occurrence items. Moreover, to capture user preference from sessions comprehensively, we propose to learn two levels of user representations from the global graph via two graph augmented preference encoders. Specifically, we design a novel heterogeneous graph neural network (HGNN) on the heterogeneous global graph to learn the long-term user preference and item representations with rich semantics. Based on the HGNN, we propose the Current Preference Encoder and the Historical Preference Encoder to capture the different levels of user preference from the current and historical sessions, respectively. To achieve personalized recommendation, we integrate the representations of the user current preference and historical interests to generate the final user preference representation. Extensive experimental results on three real-world datasets show that our model outperforms other state-of-the-art methods.
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.
Heterogeneous information network (HIN) has been widely used to characterize entities of various types and their complex relations. Recent attempts either rely on explicit path reachability to leverage path-based semantic relatedness or graph neighborhood to learn heterogeneous network representations before predictions. These weakly coupled manners overlook the rich interactions among neighbor nodes, which introduces an early summarization issue. In this paper, we propose GraphHINGE (Heterogeneous INteract and aggreGatE), which captures and aggregates the interactive patterns between each pair of nodes through their structured neighborhoods. Specifically, we first introduce Neighborhood-based Interaction (NI) module to model the interactive patterns under the same metapaths, and then extend it to Cross Neighborhood-based Interaction (CNI) module to deal with different metapaths. Next, in order to address the complexity issue on large-scale networks, we formulate the interaction modules via a convolutional framework and learn the parameters efficiently with fast Fourier transform. Furthermore, we design a novel neighborhood-based selection (NS) mechanism, a sampling strategy, to filter high-order neighborhood information based on their low-order performance. The extensive experiments on six different types of heterogeneous graphs demonstrate the performance gains by comparing with state-of-the-arts in both click-through rate prediction and top-N recommendation tasks.
