Interpretable web service recommendation based on disentangled representation learning

Abstract

Most existing Web service recommendation models based on machine learning do not fully consider the high-order features interaction between users and services and with poor interpretability. In this paper, an Interpretable Web Service Recommendation model based on Disentangled Representation Learning (WSR-DRL) is proposed. First of all, to make full use of the service description information to improve the accuracy of Web service recommendation, the features representation of service name is obtained by using BERT model, and the local and global features representation of service description information is further obtained by combining 2-D CNN and Bi-LSTM. Then the disentangled convolution neural network is used to generate the high-order interaction features between users and services, and the neighborhood routing algorithm is used to mine the latent factors in these features. That improves the accuracy of Web service recommendation and make it interpretable. Finally, in order to verify the effectiveness of the model, several groups of experiments are carried out on real data sets. The experimental results show that compared with latest models such as DMF, DeepFM, DKN, GCMC, NDCG model and WSR-MGAT model, the WSR-DRL model proposed in this paper shows better performance on Precision@10, Recall@10, F1@10 and NDCG@10 evaluation metrics.
