统一解决冷启动与热启动推荐难题,利用冻结图结构提升效果

Firzen: Firing Strict Cold-Start Items with Frozen Heterogeneous and Homogeneous Graphs for Recommendation

  • 构建冻结异构与同构图,分别捕捉用户-物品协同与语义关联
  • 在多个亚马逊及微信渠道数据集上,冷启动推荐显著优于现有方法
  • 适合需要兼顾新物品与老物品推荐的工业级推荐系统应用

基于唯一身份标识(ID)表示用户和物品的推荐模型在推荐系统领域已主导十余年。由于物品的多模态内容(如文本、图像)和知识图谱(KG)可反映用户偏好与物品特性,常被用作辅助信息以提升推荐质量。然而,现有方法往往仅适用于热启动或严格冷启动场景:(1)部分方法无法学习严格冷启动物品的嵌入表示,因辅助信息仅用于增强热启动物品的ID表征;(2)另一些方法则因无关的多模态内容或知识图谱实体导致表征模糊,损害热启动推荐性能。本文提出统一框架Firzen,融合物品多模态内容与知识图谱,有效解决严格冷启动与热启动推荐问题。该框架通过冻结的异构图(协同知识图)提取用户-物品协同信息,并利用冻结的同构图(物品-物品关系图与用户-用户共现图)挖掘物品语义结构与用户行为关联。此外,我们基于公开的Amazon数据集及微信渠道真实工业数据,重构交互数据并构建知识图谱,建立四个统一的严格冷启动评估基准。大量实验证明,所提模型在严格冷启动推荐中取得显著提升,且在热启动场景下性能达到或超过当前最优水平。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Recommendation models utilizing unique identities (IDs) to represent distinct users and items have dominated the recommender systems literature for over a decade. Since multi-modal content of items (e.g., texts and images) and knowledge graphs (KGs) may reflect the interaction-related users' preferences and items' characteristics, they have been utilized as useful side information to further improve the recommendation quality. However, the success of such methods often limits to either warm-start or strict cold-start item recommendation in which some items neither appear in the training data nor have any interactions in the test stage: (1) Some fail to learn the embedding of a strict cold-start item since side information is only utilized to enhance the warm-start ID representations; (2) The others deteriorate the performance of warm-start recommendation since unrelated multi-modal content or entities in KGs may blur the final representations. In this paper, we propose a unified framework incorporating multi-modal content of items and KGs to effectively solve both strict cold-start and warm-start recommendation termed Firzen, which extracts the user-item collaborative information over frozen heterogeneous graph (collaborative knowledge graph), and exploits the item-item semantic structures and user-user behavioral association over frozen homogeneous graphs (item-item relation graph and user-user co-occurrence graph). Furthermore, we build four unified strict cold-start evaluation benchmarks based on publicly available Amazon datasets and a real-world industrial dataset from Weixin Channels via rearranging the interaction data and constructing KGs. Extensive empirical results demonstrate that our model yields significant improvements for strict cold-start recommendation and outperforms or matches the state-of-the-art performance in the warm-start scenario.
