• Abstract summary: We propose a knowledge graph based conversational recommender system (referred as KG-CRS) Specifically, we first integrate the user-item graph and item-attribute graph into a dynamic graph, dynamically changing during the dialogue process by removing negative items or attributes. We then learn informative embedding of users, items, and attributes by also considering propagation through neighbors on the graph.

• Abstract: Conversational recommender system (CRS), which combines the techniques of dialogue system and recommender system, has obtained increasing interest recently. In contrast to traditional recommender system, it learns the user preference better through interactions (i.e. conversations), and then further boosts the recommendation performance. However, existing studies on CRS ignore to address the relationship among attributes, users, and items effectively, which might lead to inappropriate questions and inaccurate recommendations. In this view, we propose a knowledge graph based conversational recommender system (referred as KG-CRS). Specifically, we first integrate the user-item graph and item-attribute graph into a dynamic graph, i.e., dynamically changing during the dialogue process by removing negative items or attributes. We then learn informative embedding of users, items, and attributes by also considering propagation through neighbors on the graph. Extensive experiments on three real datasets validate the superiority of our method over the state-of-the-art approaches in terms of both the recommendation and conversation tasks.

  We propose a new attention mechanism to take advantage of real-valued interaction weights as well as user and item features directly. We train a novel Graph Diffusion Transformer GDiT architecture to iteratively denoise the weighted interaction matrix of the user-item interaction graph directly. Inspired by the recent progress in text-conditioned image generation, our method directly produces user-item rating predictions on the same scale as the original ratings.

  Conversational recommender systems (CRS) aim to recommend relevant items to users by eliciting user preference through natural language conversation. Prior work often utilizes external knowledge graphs for items' semantic information, a language model for dialogue generation, and a recommendation module for ranking relevant items. In this paper, we represent items in natural language and formulate CRS as a natural language processing task.

  We propose a novel multi-grained hypergraph interest modeling approach to capture user interest beneath intricate historical data. In our approach, we first employ the hypergraph structure to model users' historical dialogue sessions and form a session-based hypergraph, which captures coarse-grained, session-level relations. We further conduct multi-grained hypergraph convolution on the two kinds of hypergraphs, and utilize the enhanced representations to develop interest-aware CRS.

  We propose a collaborative augmentation (COLA) method to improve both item representation learning and user preference modeling. We construct an interactive user-item graph from all conversations, which augments item representations with user-aware information. To improve user preference modeling, we retrieve similar conversations from the training corpus, where the involved items and attributes that reflect the user's potential interests are used to augment the user representation.
