Taher Hekmatfar, Saman Haratizadeh, Sama Goliaei

TL;DR
This paper introduces PGRec, a novel graph-based recommendation framework that models user preferences with PrefGraph and combines factorization and deep learning for improved ranking accuracy.
Contribution
It proposes a new graph structure, PrefGraph, and an embedding approach that enhances ranking-oriented recommender systems by integrating factorization and deep learning techniques.
Findings
PGRec outperforms baseline models by up to 3.2% in NDCG@10.
The PrefGraph structure effectively captures user preferences.
Combined embedding approach improves recommendation quality.
Abstract
Graph-based recommender systems (GRSs) analyze the structural information in the graphical representation of data to make better recommendations, especially when the direct user-item relation data is sparse. Ranking-oriented GRSs that form a major class of recommendation systems, mostly use the graphical representation of preference (or rank) data for measuring node similarities, from which they can infer a recommendation list using a neighborhood-based mechanism. In this paper, we propose PGRec, a novel graph-based ranking-oriented recommendation framework. PGRec models the preferences of the users over items, by a novel graph structure called PrefGraph. This graph is then exploited by an improved embedding approach, taking advantage of both factorization and deep learning methods, to extract vectors representing users, items, and preferences. The resulting embedding are then used for…
