The unprecedented growth of unstructured data poses many challenges in semantic computing, which is an active research area for many years. While unearthing interesting patterns such as entities, relationships, and other metadata are important, it is equally important to represent them in an efficient, easy to access manner. Knowledge Graphs (KGs) are one such mechanism to represent facts extracted from unstructured text. KGs represent entities as nodes and relationships as edges. Such a representation may find applications in many meaning-aware computing applications such as question answering, summarization, etc., to name a few. Very recently, knowledge graph-based recommendation systems have become popular which has many advantages over traditional recommendation engines. This survey is an attempt to summarize and critically evaluate some of the very recent approaches to knowledge graph-based recommendation approaches.
