description In the field of collaborative filtering, attribute information is often integrated to improve recommendations. However, challenges remain unaddressed. Firstly, existing data modeling methods often fall short of appropriately handling attribute information. Secondly, attribute data are often sparse and can potentially impact recommendation performance due to the challenge of incomplete correspondence between the attribute information and the recommendations. To tackle these challenges, we propose a <b>h</b>ypergraph <b>c</b>ollaborative <b>f</b>iltering with <b>a</b>ttribute inference (HCFA) framework, which segregates attribute and user behavior information into distinct channels and leverages hypergraphs to capture high-order correlations among vertices, offering a more natural approach to modeling. Furthermore, we introduce <b>b</b>ehavior-based <b>a</b>ttribute <b>c</b>onfidence (BAC) for assessing the reliability of inferred attributes concerning the corresponding behaviors and update the most credible portions to enhance recommendation quality. Extensive experiments conducted on three public benchmarks demonstrate the superiority of our model. It consistently outperforms other state-of-the-art approaches, with ablation experiments further confirming the effectiveness of our proposed method.
