Description
Summary:News recommendation plays an important role in alleviating information overload and helping users find their interesting news. Most of the existing news recommendation methods make a recommendation based on static data. They ignore the time dynamic characteristics of the interaction between users and news, that is, the order in which users click on news implicitly indicates the user's interest in news. In this paper, we propose a time sensitive heterogeneous graph neural network for news recommendation. The network consists of two subnetworks. One subnet utilizes convolutional neural network and improved LSTM to learn a user's stay period on the page and click sequence characteristics as the temporal dimension feature. The other subnet constructs an attention-based heterogeneous graph to model the user-news-topic associations, and apply graph neural network to learn the structural features of the heterogeneous graph as spatial dimensional features. Experiments conducted show that our model outperforms the state-of-the-art models in accuracy and has better interpretability.
