Att-KGCN: Tourist Attractions Recommendation System by Using Attention Mechanism and Knowledge Graph Convolution Network

Abstract

The recommendation algorithm based on knowledge graphs and deep learning is at a relatively mature stage. However, there are still some problems in the recommendation of specific areas. For example, in the tourism field, selecting suitable tourist attraction attributes process is complicated as the recommendation basis for tourist attractions. In this paper, Based on Knowledge Graph Convolution Network as a deep learning model, we propose the improved Attention Knowledge Graph Convolution Network model, named (Att) - KGCN), which automatically discovers the neighboring entities of the target scenic spot semantically. The attention layer aggregates relatively similar locations and represents them with an adjacent vector. Then, according to the tourist's preferred choices, the model predicts the probability of similar spots as a recommen-dation system. A knowledge graph dataset of tourist attractions used based on tourism data on Socotra Island-Yemen. Through experiments, it is verified that the Attention Knowledge Graph Convolution Network has a good effect on the recommendation of tourist attractions and can make more recommendations for tourists' choices.
