Resumen
Knowledge graph-based recommendation methods are a hot research topic in the field of recommender systems in recent years. As a mainstream knowledge graph-based recommendation method, the propagation-based recommendation method captures users? potential interests in items by integrating the representations of entities and relations in the knowledge graph and the high-order connection patterns between entities to provide personalized recommendations. For example, the collaborative knowledge-aware attentive network (CKAN) is a typical state-of-the-art propagation-based recommendation method that combines user-item interactions and knowledge associations in the knowledge graph, and performs heterogeneous propagation in the knowledge graph to generate multi-hop ripple sets, thereby capturing users? potential interests. However, existing propagation-based recommendation methods, including CKAN, usually ignore the complex relations between entities in the multi-hop ripple sets and do not distinguish the importance of different ripple sets, resulting in inaccurate user potential interests being captured. Therefore, this paper proposes a top-N recommendation method named collaborative knowledge-aware graph attention network (CKGAT). Based on the heterogeneous propagation strategy, CKGAT uses the knowledge-aware graph attention network to extract the topological proximity structures of entities in the multi-hop ripple sets and then learn high-order entity representations, thereby generating refined ripple set embeddings. CKGAT further uses an attention aggregator to perform weighted aggregation on the ripple set embeddings, the user/item initial entity set embeddings, and the original representations of items to generate accurate user embeddings and item embeddings for the top-N recommendations. Experimental results show that CKGAT, overall, outperforms three baseline methods and six state-of-the-art propagation-based recommendation methods in terms of recommendation accuracy, and outperforms four representative propagation-based recommendation methods in terms of recommendation diversity.
