To address this issue, the authors propose PTransE-CF, a hybrid recommendation framework that combines CF with knowledge graph (KG)-based semantic reasoning.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Design\/methodology\/approach<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The model uses an enhanced path-based PTransE algorithm to extract multi-step semantic paths from KGs, thereby enriching item representations. It then combines these semantic embeddings with item-based CF to compute rating-based similarities. This fusion improves both the accuracy and the interpretability of recommendations.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Findings<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Experiments on the MovieLens-1M data set show that the PTransE-CF model significantly outperforms traditional CF approaches, especially in cold-start and sparse-data scenarios. Moreover, the incorporation of KG semantics enhances interpretability by revealing semantic relational paths that explain the rationale behind item recommendations.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Originality\/value<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study advances the field of knowledge management by refining path-aware representation learning and introducing a scalable recommendation framework that effectively integrates semantic knowledge with CF.
