• Abstract: Personalized recommendations are popular in these days of Internet driven activities, specifically shopping. Recommendation methods can be grouped into three major categories, content based filtering, collaborative filtering and machine learning enhanced. Information about products and preferences of different users are primarily used to infer preferences for a specific user. Inadequate information can obviously cause these methods to fail or perform poorly. The more information we provide to these methods, the more likely it is that the methods perform better. Knowledge graphs represent the current trend in recording information in the form of relations between entities, and can provide additional (side) information about products and users. Such information can be used to improve nearest neighbour search, clustering users and products, or train the neural network, when one is used. In this work, we present a new generic recommendation systems framework, that integrates knowledge graphs into the recommendation pipeline. We describe its software design and implementation, and then show through experiments, how such a framework can be specialized for a domain, say movie recommendations, and the improvements in recommendation results possible due to side information obtained from knowledge graphs representation of such information. Our framework supports different knowledge graph representation formats, and facilitates format conversion, merging and information extraction needed for training recommendation methods.

  A crucial aspect is embedding techniques that covert the high-dimensional discrete features, such as user and item IDs, into low-dimensional continuous vectors. Applying embedding techniques captures complex entity relationships and has spurred substantial research. This survey covers embedding methods like collaborative filtering, self-supervised learning, and graph-based techniques.

  We seek an alternative framework that is light and effective through self-supervised learning across different sources of information. We use a self-supervision signal to pair users with the auxiliary information associated with the items they have interacted with before. We show that our method can achieve better performance while requiring less training time.

  Recommendation systems often draw upon sensitive user information in making predictions. We show how to address this deficiency by basing a service's recommendation engine upon recommendations from other existing services. In our setting, the user's (potentially sensitive) information belongs to a high-dimensional latent space.

  We propose Knowledge-aware Conditional Attention Networks (KCAN) to incorporate knowledge graph into a recommender system. We use a knowledge-aware attention propagation manner to obtain the node representation first, which captures the global semantic similarity on the user-item network and the knowledge graph. Then, by applying a conditional attention aggregation on the subgraph, we refine the knowledge graph to obtain target-specific node representations.

  This article systematically retrospects graph embedding-based recommendation from embedding techniques for bipartite graphs, general graphs, and knowledge graphs. Comparing several representative graph embedding-based recommendation models with the most common-used conventional recommendation models, on simulations, manifests that the conventional models overall outperform the graph embedding-based ones in predicting implicit user-item interactions.

  We propose to exploit embeddings extracted from graphs that combine information from ratings and aspect-based opinions expressed in textual reviews. We then adapt and evaluate state-of-the-art graph embedding techniques over graphs generated from Amazon and Yelp reviews on six domains. Our approach has the advantage of providing explanations which leverage aspect-based opinions given by users about recommended items.
