ConsRec: Learning Consensus Behind Interactions for Group Recommendation

In this paper, we focus on exploring consensus behind group behavior data. To comprehensively capture the group consensus, we innovatively design three distinct views, including member-level aggregation, item-level tastes, and group-level inherent preferences. Particularly, in the member-level viw, different from existing attentive strategy, we design a novel hypergraph neural network that allows for efficient hypergraph convolutional operations to generate expressive member-level aggregation.

Datasets

We use two public experimental datasets: Mafengwo and CAMRa2011. These two datasets' contents are in the data/ folder.

In this paper, we collect a new dataset named Mafengwo-S from Mafengwo to conduct the case study. Particular, in this dataset, we preserve each item's unique semantics, i.e., its location name. It has 11,027 users, 1,236 items, and 1,215 groups.

We would release this dataset soon.

Besides, we release our implementations of group recommendation baselines here.
