• Abstract: With the prevalence of social networks on online platforms, social recommendation has become a vital technique for enhancing personalized recommendations. The effectiveness of social recommendations largely relies on the social homophily assumption, which presumes that individuals with social connections often share similar preferences. However, this foundational premise has been recently challenged due to the inherent complexity and noise present in real-world social networks. In this paper, we tackle the low social homophily challenge from an innovative generative perspective, directly generating optimal user social representations that maximize consistency with collaborative signals. Specifically, we propose the Score-based Generative Model for Social Recommendation (SGSR), which effectively adapts the Stochastic Differential Equation (SDE)-based diffusion models for social recommendations. To better fit the recommendation context, SGSR employs a joint curriculum training strategy to mitigate challenges related to missing supervision signals and leverages self-supervised learning techniques to align knowledge across social and collaborative domains. Extensive experiments on real-world datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach in filtering redundant social information and improving recommendation performance.

  Social recommendation is a branch of algorithms that utilize social connection information to construct recommender systems. In this study, we investigate the dual performance of existing social recommendation algorithms in terms of accuracy and diversity. We propose a novel approach called Diversified Social Recommendation (DivSR) DivSR is designed as a simple, model-agnostic framework that integrates seamlessly with existing social recommendation architectures.

  Social recommendation models weave social interactions into their design to provide uniquely personalized recommendation results for users. Existing social recommendation models fail to address the issues of popularity bias and the redundancy of social information. We propose a Condition-Guided Social Recommendation Model (named CGSoRec) to mitigate the model's popularity bias.
