Graph Collaborative Filtering

Graph Collaborative Filtering (GCF) leverages graph neural networks to model user-item interactions for improved recommendation systems, aiming to capture complex relationships and address data sparsity. Current research focuses on enhancing GCF's performance through contrastive learning techniques, exploring various methods for constructing informative contrastive pairs and mitigating issues like sampling bias and unwanted noise from graph augmentations. These advancements aim to improve recommendation accuracy and fairness, impacting both the theoretical understanding of GNNs in recommender systems and the practical development of more effective and equitable recommendation algorithms.
