Graph anomaly detection (GAD), which aims to detect outliers in graph-structured data, has received increasing research attention recently. However, existing GAD methods assume identical training and testing distributions, which is rarely valid in practice. In real-world scenarios, unseen but normal
Recommender systems in various applications often encounter the challenge of cold-start, which refers to how to provide recommendations for completely new users. Cross-domain recommendation offers a solution to address this cold-start issue by leveraging user interaction information from other domai…
Collaborative filtering (CF) methods are now facing the challenge of data sparsity in recommender systems. In order to reduce the effect of data sparsity, researchers proposed contrastive learning methods to extract self-supervised signals from raw data. Contrastive learning methods address this pro…
Social recommendation leverages the social connections between users to mitigate the issue of data sparsity and enhance recommendation quality. Although existing related works show their effectiveness, there remain two critical questions: i) The patterns of preference interactions among users are va…
In recommender systems, graph neural networks (GNN) can integrate interactions between users and items with their attributes, which makes GNN-based methods more powerful. However, directly stacking multiple layers in a graph neural network can easily lead to over-smoothing, hence recommendation syst…
Bilinear pooling has been recently proposed as a feature encoding layer, which can be used after the convolutional layers of a deep network, to improve performance in multiple vision tasks. Different from conventional global average pooling or fully connected layer, bilinear pooling gathers 2nd o…
