Abstract
In this era of information explosion, recommendation systems play a key role in helping users to uncover content of interest among massive amounts of information. Pursuing a breadth of recall while maintaining accuracy is a core challenge for current recommendation systems. In this paper, we propose a new recommendation algorithm model, the interactive higher-order dual tower (IHDT), which improves current models by adding interactivity and higher-order feature learning between the dual tower neural networks. A heterogeneous graph is constructed containing different types of nodes, such as users, items, and attributes, extracting richer feature representations through meta-paths. To achieve feature interaction, an interactive learning mechanism is introduced to inject relevant features between the user and project towers. Additionally, this method utilizes graph convolutional networks for higher-order feature learning, pooling the node embeddings of the twin towers to obtain enhanced end-user and item representations. IHDT was evaluated on the MovieLens dataset and outperformed multiple baseline methods. Ablation experiments verified the contribution of interactive learning and high-order GCN components.
