Enhancing Recommender Systems with Anomaly Detection: A Graph Neural Network Approach
摘要
In this study, we investigate the incorporation of anomaly detection into session-based recommender systems using Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) to enhance recommendation accuracy. We explore various integration stages, including item embedding, fusion layers, and session representation. Our methodology involves initially zeroing out anomalous embeddings and subsequently replacing them with what we consider to be the best embeddings based on anomaly scores derived from the Isolation Forest algorithm. Through extensive experimentation on a real-world dataset, we observed that anomaly detection at the session representation layer yields significant improvements in hit rate (HR) and mean reciprocal rank (MRR). Our findings demonstrate that strategically integrating anomaly detection can effectively improve recommendation quality and system performance.
