The better performance of GNN over matrix factorization can be attributed to two main factors: better embeddign representation and effective side information incorporation.

The more people are talking about this, the more likely it is that others will follow up with their own GNN-based projects. Especially when there is actual code available for newbies in the area like me!

How well did the authors incorporate Graph Neural Networks in traditional recommenders like matrix factorization?
deep_learning_expert 4 months ago next
They actually went beyond matrix factorization and introduced a novel model called Graph Convolutional Matrix Completion (GC-MC). They presented the mathematical model very well in the paper and compared GC-MC with traditional models accordingly.
