However, when incorporating entities from a knowledge graph to represent semantic information, most current KG-based recommendation methods are unaware of the relationships between these users and items. As such, the learned semantic information representation of users and items cannot fully reflect the connectivity between users and items. In this paper, we present the PRKG-DI symmetry model, a Personalized Relationships-based Knowledge Graph for recommender systems with Dual-view Items that explores user-item relatedness by mining associated entities in the KG from user-oriented entity view and item-oriented entity view to augment item semantic information. Specifically, PRKG-DI utilizes a heterogeneous propagation strategy to gather information on higher-order user-item interactions and an attention mechanism to generate the weighted representation of entities. Moreover, PRKG-DI provides a score feature as a filter for individualized relationships to evaluate users\u2019 potential interests. The empirical results demonstrate that our approach significantly outperforms several state-of-the-art baselines by 1.6%, 2.1%, and 0.8% on AUC, and 1.8%, 2.3%, and 0.8% on F1 when applied to three real-world scenarios for music, movie, and book recommendations, respectively.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/sym14112386","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,14]],"date-time":"2022-11-14T02:34:58Z","timestamp":1668393298000},"page":"2386","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Personalized Relationships-Based Knowledge Graph for Recommender Systems with Dual-View Items"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4664-1140","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zhifeng","family":"Liu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computer Science and Communication Engineering, Jiangsu University, Zhenjiang 212013, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2666-6391","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xianzhan","family":"Zhong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computer Science and Communication Engineering, Jiangsu University, Zhenjiang 212013, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Conghua","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computer Science and Communication Engineering, Jiangsu University, Zhenjiang 212013, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"He, X., Liao, L., Zhang, H., Nie, L., Hu, X., and Chua, T.-S.
