Graph Convolutional Neural Network for Multimodal Movie Recommendation

The Recommendation System (RS) development and recommending customers' preferred products to the customer are highly desirable motives in today's digital market. Most of the RSs are mainly based on textual information of the engaged entities in the platform and the ratings provided by the users to the products. This paper develops a movie recommendation system where the cold-start problem relating to rating information dependency has been dealt with and the multi-modality approach is introduced. The proposed method differs from existing approaches in three main aspects: (a) implementation of knowledge graph for text embedding, (b) besides textual information, other modalities of movies like video, and audio are employed rather than rating information for generating movie/user representation and this approach deals with the cold-start problem effectively, (c) utilization of graph convolutional network (GCN) for generating some further hidden features and also for developing regression system.
