Advancing Recommender Systems with Graph Convolutional Networks

This book systematically examines scalability and effectiveness challenges related to the application of graph convolutional networks (GCNs) in recommender systems. By effectively modeling graph structures, GCNs excel in capturing high-order relationships between users and items, enabling the creation of enriched and expressive representations. The book focuses on two overarching problem categories: the first area deals with problems specific to GCN-based recommendation models, including over-sm
