Leveraging the side information associated with entities (i.e. users and items) to enhance the performance of recommendation systems has been widely recognized as an important modelling dimension. While many existing approaches focus on the integration scheme to incorporate entity side information -- by combining the recommendation loss function with an extra side information-aware loss -- in this paper, we propose instead a novel pre-training scheme for leveraging the side information. In particular, we first pre-train a representation model using the side information of the entities, and then fine-tune it using an existing general representation-based recommendation model. Specifically, we propose two pre-training models, named GCN-P and COM-P, by considering the entities and their relations constructed from side information as two different types of graphs respectively, to pre-train entity embeddings. For the GCN-P model, two single-relational graphs are constructed from all the users and items side information respectively, to pre-train entity representations by using the Graph Convolutional Networks. For the COM-P model, two multi-relational graphs are constructed to pre-train the entity representations by using the Composition-based Graph Convolutional Networks. An extensive evaluation of our pre-training models fine-tuned under four general representation-based recommender models, i.e. MF, NCF, NGCF and LightGCN, shows that effectively pre-training embeddings with both the users and items side information can significantly improve these original models in terms of both effectiveness and stability.
Side information of items, e.g., images and text description, has shown to be effective in contributing to accurate recommendations. Inspired by the recent success of pre-training models on natural language and images, we propose a pre-training strat
Recommender systems have become an essential tool to help resolve the information overload problem in recent decades. Traditional recommender systems, however, suffer from data sparsity and cold start problems. To address these issues, a great number
Recommender systems aim to provide personalized services to users and are playing an increasingly important role in our daily lives. The key of recommender systems is to predict how likely users will interact with items based on their historical onli
Graph representation learning has emerged as a powerful technique for addressing real-world problems. Various downstream graph learning tasks have benefited from its recent developments, such as node classification, similarity search, and graph class
The pre-training on the graph neural network model can learn the general features of large-scale networks or networks of the same type by self-supervised methods, which allows the model to work even when node labels are missing. However, the existing
