Abstract

Knowledge graph (KG) has been widely studied and employed as auxiliary information to alleviate the cold start and sparsity problems of collaborative filtering in recommender systems. However, most of the existing KG-based recommendation models suffer from the following drawbacks, i.e., insufficient modeling of high-order correlations among users, items, and entities, and simple aggregation strategies which fail to preserve the relational information in the neighborhood. In this paper, we propose a Knowledge-aware Hypergraph Neural Network (KHNN) framework to tackle the above issues. First, the knowledge-aware hypergraph structure, which is composed of hyperedges, is employed for modeling users, items, and entities in the knowledge graph with explicit hybrid high-order correlations. Second, we propose a novel knowledge-aware hypergraph convolution method to aggregate different knowledge-based neighbors in hyperedge efficiently. Moreover, it can conduct the embedding propagation of high-order correlations explicitly and efficiently in knowledge-aware hypergraph. Finally, we apply the proposed model on three real-world datasets, and the empirical results demonstrate that KHNN can achieve the best improvements against other state-of-the-art methods.
