Description
Summary:With the explosive growth of information on the internet, personalized recommendation technology has become an important tool for helping users efficiently acquire information. However, existing spreading-based recommendation algorithms only consider user choices and fail to fully leverage the potential relationships between users and items. Additionally, the incomplete utilization of user and item information limits their application potential and applicable scenarios, resulting in suboptimal recommendation performance in practical applications. To address this issue, we propose a Light Graph Convolutional Recommendation Algorithm Based on Hybrid Spreading (LGCNHS). This algorithm first optimizes the embeddings of users and items using their respective feature matrix, then learns the latent embedding representations of users and items through a lightweight graph convolutional network. Finally, the latent embedding representations are incorporated as key parameters into the hybrid spreading recommendation algorithm to generate recommendations. Comparative experiments on two publicly available datasets, MovieLens and Douban, demonstrate that LGCNHS achieves improved accuracy and diversity in recommendations compared to related methods. The algorithm code is available on github.
