With the emergence of FER in social apps, users pay more attention to social factors in recommendations. The SIAN model excels in fusing heterogeneous information and capturing the influence of friend referral circle, outperforming existing models.
With the thriving of online social networks, there emerges a new recommendation scenario in many social apps, called Friend-Enhanced Recommendation (FER) in this paper. In FER, a user is recommended with items liked/shared by his/her friends (called a friend referral circle). These friend referrals are explicitly shown to users. Different from conventional social recommendation, the unique friend referral circle in FER may significantly change the recommendation paradigm, making users to pay more attention to enhanced social factors. In this paper, we first formulate the FER problem, and propose a novel Social Influence Attentive Neural network (SIAN) solution. In order to fuse rich heterogeneous information, the attentive feature aggregator in SIAN is designed to learn user and item representations at both node- and type-levels. More importantly, a social influence coupler is put forward to capture the influence of the friend referral circle in an attentive manner. Experimental results demonstrate that SIAN outperforms several state-of-the-art baselines on three real-world datasets. (Code and dataset are available at https://github.com/rootlu/SIAN).
