Intelligent recommendation systems(IRSs) need to face the problems of sparse data and cold start. As one of the intelligent recommendation scenarios, article recommendation has rich and various article information, which is a significant difference from other scenarios. However, the existing methods of article recommender do not fully consider the article information or ignore the implicit correlation between users and articles. Therefore, this paper proposes a Graph-Embedding-inspired Article Recommendation Model (GE-ARM): we capture the "User-Article" correlation feature embeddings by constructing a Bipartite Graph with Resource Allocation (RA-BG); considering the different contributions of the "Title, Abstract" and "Tag, Citation", design an Attention-based Dual-AutoEncoder, combining with Collaborative Filtering to fully capture the article feature embeddings; and update the correlation and article feature embeddings with Probabilistic Matrix Factorization to perform the final recommendation task. The experimental results highlight that GE-ARM outperforms the other known methods on four datasets. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Matrix Factorization is a successful approach for generating an effective recommender system. However, most existing matrix factorization methods suffer from the sparsity and cold-start issues of the user-item matrix as the primary information source of recommender systems. Besides, they are not much scalable to apply to large real-world applications. A main idea to overcome the cold-start and sparsity issues is to use additional information sources such as user/item profiles or user reviews on items. In this paper, a novel Attention-based Deep Learning Recommender System, so-called ADLRS, is proposed to employ the information sources in the matrix factorization method framework. The proposed method uses a language model to represent contextual information such that important features are effectively embedded. Moreover, a deep autoencoder reduces the dimensionality of item vectors embedded by the language model. Then, these vectors are used as regularization terms in the matrix factorization framework to form an objective function. Then, an iterative algorithm is designed to solve the objective function and provide a method prediction of unknown rating values. Experimental results show that the proposed method achieves superior performance compared to other state-of-the-art ones in most cases. Moreover, the improvement rate for sparse datasets and cold items proves that the proposed method effectively deals with sparsity, cold start and scalability problems. • An attention-based deep learning recommender system called ADLRS is proposed. • ADLRS incorporates profiles of items with the framework of matrix factorization. • The BERT language model is used to represents item profiles in the form of vectors. • A deep autoencoder is used to extract effective features and reduce the dimensionality of vectors. • An iterative method is used to solve the objective function and predict unknown ratings.
