Abstract

Recommendation system is a technology that can mine user's preference for items. Explainable recommendation is to produce recommendations for target users and give reasons at the same time to reveal reasons for recommendations. The explainability of recommendations that can improve the transparency of recommendations and the probability of users choosing the recommended items. The merits about explainability of recommendations are obvious, but it is not enough to focus solely on explainability of recommendations in field of explainable recommendations. Therefore, it is essential to construct an explainable recommendation framework to improve the explainability of recommended items while maintaining accuracy and diversity. An explainable recommendation framework based on knowledge graph and multi-objective optimization is proposed that can optimize the precision, diversity and explainability about recommendations at the same time. Knowledge graph connects users and items through different relationships to obtain an explainable candidate list for target user, and the path between target user and recommended item is used as an explanation basis. The explainable candidate list is optimized through multi-objective optimization algorithm to obtain the final recommendation list. It is concluded from the results about experiments that presented explainable recommendation framework provides high-quality recommendations that contains high accuracy, diversity and explainability.
