通过约束对齐与均匀性,让推荐模型更好利用物品属性信息。
Enhancing Attributed Graph Networks with Alignment and Uniformity Constraints for Session-based Recommendation
- 构建异构物品-属性二部图,用图卷积挖掘属性语义。
- 引入对齐与均匀性约束,减少属性与协同信号的表示差异。
- 无需修改原有模型,显著提升稀疏和噪声数据下的推荐效果。
会话推荐(SBR)旨在基于匿名会话预测用户下一步行为,因其实用性受到关注。现有模型仅依赖短会话内的上下文转移学习物品表征,忽略额外知识,受限于会话短带来的数据稀疏问题。少数研究尝试引入物品属性建模(MIA),但需特定设计,难以通用。本文提出无侵入式框架AttrGAU,将MIA优势融入现有无属性感知的SBR模型。首先构建物品-属性二部图,设计属性感知图卷积以挖掘异构关系中的语义。其次将原模型解耦为图神经网络与注意力读出模块,满足非侵入性要求。最后设计对齐与均匀性约束,优化属性语义与协同语义间的表示差异。在三个公开数据集上的实验表明,AttrGAU可显著提升基线模型的推荐性能与鲁棒性,尤其在数据稀疏和噪声环境下。代码将在https://github.com/ItsukiFujii/AttrGAU发布。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Session-based Recommendation (SBR), seeking to predict a user's next action based on an anonymous session, has drawn increasing attention for its practicability. Most SBR models only rely on the contextual transitions within a short session to learn item representations while neglecting additional valuable knowledge. As such, their model capacity is largely limited by the data sparsity issue caused by short sessions. A few studies have exploited the Modeling of Item Attributes (MIA) to enrich item representations. However, they usually involve specific model designs that can hardly transfer to existing attribute-agnostic SBR models and thus lack universality. In this paper, we propose a model-agnostic framework, named AttrGAU (Attributed Graph Networks with Alignment and Uniformity Constraints), to bring the MIA's superiority into existing attribute-agnostic models, to improve their accuracy and robustness for recommendation. Specifically, we first build a bipartite attributed graph and design an attribute-aware graph convolution to exploit the rich attribute semantics hidden in the heterogeneous item-attribute relationship. We then decouple existing attribute-agnostic SBR models into the graph neural network and attention readout sub-modules to satisfy the non-intrusive requirement. Lastly, we design two representation constraints, i.e., alignment and uniformity, to optimize distribution discrepancy in representation between the attribute semantics and collaborative semantics. Extensive experiments on three public benchmark datasets demonstrate that the proposed AttrGAU framework can significantly enhance backbone models' recommendation performance and robustness against data sparsity and data noise issues. Our implementation codes will be available at https://github.com/ItsukiFujii/AttrGAU.
