Abstract
Recommendation problems can be addressed as link prediction tasks in a bipartite graph between user and item nodes, labelled with rating on edges. Existing matrix completion approaches model the user’s opinion on items by ignoring context information that can instead be associated with the edges of the bipartite graph. Context is an important factor to be considered as it heavily affects opinions and preferences. Following this line of research, this paper proposes a graph convolutional auto-encoder approach which considers users’ opinion on items as well as the static node features and context information on edges. Our graph encoder produces a representation of users and items from the perspective of context, static features, and rating opinion. The empirical analysis on three real-world datasets shows that the proposed approach outperforms recent state-of-the-art recommendation systems.
