RippleNet: Propagating User Preferences on the Knowledge Graph for Recommender Systems

For the authors' official TensorFlow implementation, see hwwang55/RippleNet.

RippleNet is a deep end-to-end model that naturally incorporates the knowledge graph into recommender systems. Ripple Network overcomes the limitations of existing embedding-based and path-based KG-aware recommendation methods by introducing preference propagation, which automatically propagates users' potential preferences and explores their hierarchical interests in the KG.
