Unifying Knowledge Graph Learning and Recommendation: Towards a Better Understanding of User Preferences
Yixin Cao, Xiang Wang, Xiangnan He, Zikun Hu, Tat‐Seng Chua · 2019
Incorporating knowledge graph (KG) into recommender system is promising in improving the recommendation accuracy and explainability. However, existing methods largely assume that a KG is complete and simply transfer the ”knowledge” in KG at the shallow level of entity raw data or embeddings. This may lead to suboptimal performance, since a practical KG can hardly be complete, and it is common that a KG has missing facts, relations, and entities. Thus, we argue that it is crucial to consider the incomplete nature of KG when incorporating it into recommender system.
