Recommending scientific articles using bi-relational graph-based iterative RWR

Geng Tian, Liping Jing

Abstract: The overabundance of scientific article information has created much inconvenience to researchers seeking interesting articles online. In this paper, we provide a Bi-Relational graph to represent the heterogenous information of scientific article recommendation system, which includes three parts: the article content similarity, researcher interest correlation, and researcher-article readership. Meanwhile, an iterative random walk with restarts learning method is proposed on the Bi-Relational graph to recommend a researcher rating for each article by making use of the known information. The proposed method has ability to perform both old and new article recommendation. A series of experiments on CiteULike dataset have shown that our method is more effective than other testing methods in the paper.
