Summary: | Due to the complementary nature of graph neural networks and structured data in recommendations, recommendation systems using graph neural network techniques have become mainstream. However, there are still problems, such as sparse supervised signals and interaction noise, in the recommendation task. Therefore, this paper proposes a self-supervised graph attention collaborative filtering for recommendation (SGACF). The correlation between adjacent nodes is deeply mined using a multi-head graph attention network to obtain accurate node representations. It is worth noting that self-supervised learning is brought in as an auxiliary task in the recommendation, where the supervision task is the main task. It assists model training for supervised tasks. A multi-view of a node is generated by the graph data-augmentation method. We maximize the consistency between its different views compared to the views of the same node and minimize the consistency between its different views compared to the views of other nodes. In this paper, the effectiveness of the method is illustrated by abundant experiments on three public datasets. The results show its significant improvement in the accuracy of the long-tail item recommendation and the robustness of the model.
