Social Recommendation System Based on Hypergraph Attention Network.

In recent years, due to the rise of online social platforms, social networks have more and more influence on our daily life, and social recommendation system has become one of the important research directions of recommendation system research. Because the graph structure in social networks and graph neural networks has strong representation capabilities, the application of graph neural networks in social recommendation systems has become more and more extensive, and it has also shown good results. Although graph neural networks have been successfully applied in social recommendation systems, their performance may still be limited in practical applications. The main reason is that they can only take advantage of pairs of user relations but cannot capture the higher-order relations between users. We propose a model that applies the hypergraph attention network to the social recommendation system (HASRE) to solve this problem. Specifically, we take the hypergraph's ability to model high-order relations to capture high-order relations between users. However, because the influence of the users' friends is different, we use the graph attention mechanism to capture the users' attention to different friends and adaptively model selection information for the user. In order to verify the performance of the recommendation system, this paper carries out analysis experiments on three data sets related to the recommendation system. The experimental results show that HASRE outperforms the state-of-the-art method and can effectively improve the accuracy of recommendation.
