Music recommendation algorithms based on knowledge graph and multi-task feature learning

Abstract

During music recommendation scenarios, sparsity and cold start problems are inevitable. Auxiliary information has been utilized in music recommendation algorithms to provide users with more accurate music recommendation results. This study proposes an end-to-end framework, MMSS_MKR, that uses a knowledge graph as a source of auxiliary information to serve the information obtained from it to the recommendation module. The framework exploits Cross & Compression Units to bridge the knowledge graph embedding task with recommendation task modules. We can obtain more realistic triple information and exclude false triple information as much as possible, because our model obtains triple information through the music knowledge graph, and the information obtained through the recommendation module is used to determine the truth of the triple information; thus, the knowledge graph embedding task is used to perform the recommendation task. In the recommendation module, multiple predictions are adopted to predict the recommendation accuracy. In the knowledge graph embedding module, multiple calculations are used to calculate the score. Finally, the loss function of the model is improved to help us to obtain more useful information for music recommendations. The MMSS_MKR model achieved significant improvements in music recommendations compared with many existing recommendation models.
