The proposed approach improves the Graph Convolutional Network (GCN) for predicting ratings in social networks by incorporating several layers of transformer architecture. This enhanced model focuses on the encoder architecture for node embedding, leveraging the attention mechanism to rearrange the feature space and obtain more efficient embeddings for downstream tasks. The results demonstrate better performance compared to traditional GCNs on link prediction tasks.
Low GrooveSquid.com (original content) Low Difficulty Summary
We improved the Graph Convolutional Network (GCN) for predicting ratings in social networks. We added special layers to help the model understand relationships between people better. This makes it work better when trying to predict who will be friends with whom. Our new approach does a better job than the original GCN at guessing connections between people.
