Description:
Traditional movie recommendation systems are increasingly falling short in the contemporary landscape of abundant information and evolving user behaviors. This study introduced the temporal knowledge graph recommender system (TKGRS), a ground-breaking algorithm that addresses the limitations of existing models. TKGRS uniquely integrates graph convolutional networks (GCNs), matrix factorization, and temporal decay factors to offer a robust and dynamic recommendation mechanism. The algorithm’s architecture comprises an initial embedding layer for identifying the user and item, followed by a GCN layer for a nuanced understanding of the relationships and fully connected layers for prediction. A temporal decay factor is also used to give weightage to recent user–item interactions. Empirical validation using the MovieLens 100K, 1M, and Douban datasets showed that TKGRS outperformed the state-of-the-art models according to the evaluation metrics, i.e., RMSE and MAE. This innovative approach sets a new standard in movie recommendation systems and opens avenues for future research in advanced graph algorithms and machine learning techniques.
