Typically, existing approaches rely on sequential item relations to manually construct fixed hypergraphs. However, this methodology neglects the multiple relations inherent in the original sequences, thereby impeding the hypergraph\u2019s precision in discerning user preferences. Furthermore, the rigidity of fixed hypergraph structures tends to emphasize explicit relationships, ignoring the latent implicit patterns. In light of this, we present a novel Multi-relation enhanced Dynamic HyperGraph (MDHG) learning framework for session-based recommendation, to model intricate and variable item relations. Initially, we establish three distinct relation graphs which capture separate user behavior patterns to extract personalized interest preferences under differentiated intentions. Subsequently, we propose an enhanced dynamic hypergraph paradigm that adaptively generates hypergraph structures based on prior relation graph, thereby reinforcing and unveiling implicit connectivity relations in a layer-aware manner. Finally, to mitigate the noise among diverse relations, we introduce the maximum mutual information auxiliary task and employ the attention mechanism as a cross-relation aggregator. Extensive experiments on various real-world datasets verify the superiority of our MDHG model.
