HDGFI: Hierarchical Dual-Level Graph Feature Interaction Model for Personalized Recommendation.

Under the background of information overload, the recommendation system has attracted wide attention as one of the most important means for this problem. Feature interaction considers not only the impact of each feature but also the combination of two or more features, which has become an important research field in recommendation systems. There are two essential problems in current feature interaction research. One is that not all feature interactions can generate positive gains, and some may lead to an increase in noise. The other is that the process of feature interactions is implicit and uninterpretable. In this paper, a Hierarchical Dual-level Graph Feature Interaction (HDGFI) model is proposed to solve these problems in the recommendation system. The model regards features as nodes and edges as interactions between features in the graph structure. Interaction noise is filtered by beneficial interaction selection based on a hierarchical edge selection module. At the same time, the importance of interaction between nodes is modeled in two perspectives in order to learn the representation of feature nodes at a finer granularity. Experimental results show that the proposed HDGFI model has higher accuracy than the existing models.
