Reviewing Developments of Graph Convolutional Network Techniques for
  Recommendation Systems
Haojun Zhu Vikram Kapoor Priya Sharma
The Recommender system is a vital information service on today's Internet.
Recently, graph neural networks have emerged as the leading approach for
recommender systems. We try to review recent literature on graph neural
network-based recommender systems, covering the background and development of
both recommender systems and graph neural networks. Then categorizing
recommender systems by their settings and graph neural networks by spectral and
spatial models, we explore the motivation behind incorporating graph neural
networks into recommender systems. We also analyze challenges and open problems
in graph construction, embedding propagation and aggregation, and computation
efficiency. This guides us to better explore the future directions and
developments in this domain.
