Recently, Graph Convolutional Networks have shown promising results by modeling the information diffusion process in graphs. It provides a unified framework for graph embedding that can leverage both the social graph structure and node features information. In this paper, we improve the embedding output of the graph-based convolution layer by adding a number of transformer layers. The transformer layers with attention architecture help discover frequent patterns in the embedding space which increase the predictive power of the model in the downstream tasks. Our approach is tested on two social-based items recommendation dataset, Ciao and Epinions and our model outperforms other graph-based recommendation baselines. date: 2021-11-11 date_type: submitted full_text_status: public pres_type: paper event_title: The 13th International Conference on KNOWLEDGE AND SYSTEMS ENGINEERING (KSE 2021) event_location: Bangkok, Thailand event_dates: 10-12 Nov 2021 event_type: conference refereed: TRUE citation: Hoang, Thi Linh and Pham, Tuan Dung and Ta, Viet Cuong (2021) Improving Graph Convolutional Networks with Transformer Layer in social-based items recommendation.
