Research on the graphical convolution neural network based benefits recommendation system strategy by Tao TAO, Zhen LI, Jibin WANG, Haiyong XU, Yong JIANG, Zhuo CEHN, Runbo ZHANG, Qingyuan HU

“…The recommendation system is one of the important methods to realize the intelligent recommendation of massive Internet benefit products.In order to improve the accuracy of personalized benefits recommendation, a deep learning recommendation system based on graph computing method was proposed.Considering the heterogeneity of multi-source data, a graph representation technology based on deep learning was carried out to construct the multiple relationship graph between users and benefit products.The multiple relationship graph extracted the information of graph structure, and model the heterogeneous graphs for the multi-dimensional features of users and the multiple interaction modes between rights and interests products, which effectively aggregated various interactive information and the multiple feature.A heterogeneous graph convolutional neural network was built to learn the high-dimensional feature vectors for various nodes, and excavate users＇ latent preferences to provide a recommendation link with strong interpretability, which greatly improved the recommendation success rate and generating economic value.…”
