MIGAN: Mutual-Interaction Graph Attention Network for Collaborative Filtering

Entropy (Basel). 2022 Aug 5;24(8):1084. doi: 10.3390/e24081084.

Abstract

Many web platforms now include recommender systems. Network representation learning has been a successful approach for building these efficient recommender systems. However, learning the mutual influence of nodes in the network is challenging. Indeed, it carries collaborative signals accounting for complex user-item interactions on user decisions. For this purpose, in this paper, we develop a Mutual Interaction Graph Attention Network "MIGAN", a new algorithm based on self-supervised representation learning on a large-scale bipartite graph (BGNN). Experimental investigation with real-world data demonstrates that MIGAN compares favorably with the baselines in terms of prediction accuracy and recommendation efficiency.
