Multi-behavioral recommendation model based on dual neural networks and contrast learning

Abstract

In order to capture the complex dependencies between users and items in a recommender system and to alleviate the smoothing problem caused by the aggregation of multi-layer neighborhood information, a multi-behavior recommendation model (DNCLR) based on dual neural networks and contrast learning is proposed. In this paper, the complex dependencies between behaviors are divided into feature correlation and temporal correlation. First, we set up a personalized behavior vector for users and use a graph-convolution network to learn the features of users and items under different behaviors, and we then combine the features of self-attention mechanism to learn the correlation between behaviors. The multi-behavior interaction sequence of the user is input into the recurrent neural network, and the temporal correlation between the behaviors is captured by combining the attention mechanism. The contrast learning is introduced based on the double neural network. In the graph convolution network layer, the distances between users and similar users and between users and their preference items are shortened, and the distance between users and their short-term preference is shortened in the circular neural network layer. Finally, the personalized behavior vector is integrated into the prediction layer to obtain more accurate user, behavior and item characteristics. Compared with the sub-optimal model, the HR@10 on Yelp, ML20M and Tmall real datasets are improved by 2.5%, 0.3% and 4%, respectively. The experimental results show that the proposed model can effectively improve the recommendation accuracy compared with the existing methods.
