Invariance Matters: Empowering Social Recommendation via Graph Invariant Learning
- 用多环境生成模拟噪声社交图,学习跨环境不变偏好
- 在多个公开数据集上显著优于基线模型,最高提升12.6%
- 适合做高噪声社交推荐的场景,尤其关注模型稳定性
基于图的社交推荐系统在缓解用户行为数据稀疏问题上表现优异,通常利用图神经网络(GNN)捕捉来自已观察社交网络的高阶社会影响。然而,现有方法常忽略社交网络本身存在任务无关的噪声关系,这些冗余关系会干扰用户偏好学习。由于缺乏真实标签,去除噪声关系仍具挑战。本文从图不变学习视角出发,提出社交图不变学习(SGIL)方法,旨在揭示输入社交图中稳定的用户偏好,从而增强图式社交推荐系统的鲁棒性。SGIL首先通过图生成器模拟多种噪声社交环境,再通过最小化不同环境间的不变风险来学习环境不变的用户偏好。为进一步提升生成环境的多样性,引入对抗训练策略以模拟更多潜在的噪声分布。大量实验结果表明,所提方法有效,代码已开源。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Graph-based social recommendation systems have shown significant promise in enhancing recommendation performance, particularly in addressing the issue of data sparsity in user behaviors. Typically, these systems leverage Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) to capture user preferences by incorporating high-order social influences from observed social networks. However, existing graph-based social recommendations often overlook the fact that social networks are inherently noisy, containing task-irrelevant relationships that can hinder accurate user preference learning. The removal of these redundant social relations is crucial, yet it remains challenging due to the lack of ground truth. In this paper, we approach the social denoising problem from the perspective of graph invariant learning and propose a novel method, Social Graph Invariant Learning(SGIL). Specifically,SGIL aims to uncover stable user preferences within the input social graph, thereby enhancing the robustness of graph-based social recommendation systems. To achieve this goal, SGIL first simulates multiple noisy social environments through graph generators. It then seeks to learn environment-invariant user preferences by minimizing invariant risk across these environments. To further promote diversity in the generated social environments, we employ an adversarial training strategy to simulate more potential social noisy distributions. Extensive experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed SGIL. The code is available at https://github.com/yimutianyang/SIGIR2025-SGIL.
