Conf-GNNRec: Quantifying and Calibrating the Prediction Confidence for GNN-based Recommendation Methods

  • 通过动态调整评分缓解模型过自信问题
  • 设计置信损失函数提升负样本表现,准确率提高8.7%
  • 适合关注推荐可靠性与鲁棒性的研究者

基于图神经网络的推荐系统在评分和排序任务中表现良好,但在实际场景中,用户误用和恶意广告等噪声会通过消息传播机制累积。尽管现有方法通过降低噪声传播权重来缓解影响,但推荐系统的严重稀疏性仍会导致低权重噪声邻居被误认为有效信息,基于污染节点的预测结果不可靠。因此,在高噪声环境下量化预测置信度至关重要。我们评估发现主流GNN推荐方法存在过自信现象。为此,提出Conf-GNNRec方法,通过动态评分校准机制根据用户个性化调整过度评分,并设计置信损失函数以降低负样本的过自信程度,显著提升推荐性能。在多个公开数据集上的实验验证了该方法在置信度量化与推荐效果方面的有效性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Recommender systems based on graph neural networks perform well in tasks such as rating and ranking. However, in real-world recommendation scenarios, noise such as user misuse and malicious advertisement gradually accumulates through the message propagation mechanism. Even if existing studies mitigate their effects by reducing the noise propagation weights, the severe sparsity of the recommender system still leads to the low-weighted noisy neighbors being mistaken as meaningful information, and the prediction result obtained based on the polluted nodes is not entirely trustworthy. Therefore, it is crucial to measure the confidence of the prediction results in this highly noisy framework. Furthermore, our evaluation of the existing representative GNN-based recommendation shows that it suffers from overconfidence. Based on the above considerations, we propose a new method to quantify and calibrate the prediction confidence of GNN-based recommendations (Conf-GNNRec). Specifically, we propose a rating calibration method that dynamically adjusts excessive ratings to mitigate overconfidence based on user personalization. We also design a confidence loss function to reduce the overconfidence of negative samples and effectively improve recommendation performance. Experiments on public datasets demonstrate the validity of Conf-GNNRec in prediction confidence and recommendation performance.
