CDRec: Cayley-Dickson Recommender

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a recommendation framework named Cayley-Dickson Recommender. We introduce Cayley-Dickson construction which uses a recursive process to define hypercomplex algebras and their mathematical operations. We also design a graph convolution operator to learn representations in the hypercomplex space. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first time that Cayley-Dickson construction and graph convolution techniques have been used in hypercomplex recommendation. Compared with the state-of-the-art recommendation methods, our method achieves superior performance on real-world datasets.
