Precisely recommending candidate news articles to users has always been a
core challenge for personalized news recommendation systems. Most recent works
primarily focus on using advanced natural language processing techniques to
extract semantic information from rich textual data, employing content-based
methods derived from local historical news. However, this approach lacks a
global perspective, failing to account for users' hidden motivations and
behaviors beyond semantic information. To address this challenge, we propose a
novel model called GLORY (Global-LOcal news Recommendation sYstem), which
combines global representations learned from other users with local
representations to enhance personalized recommendation systems. We accomplish
this by constructing a Global-aware Historical News Encoder, which includes a
global news graph and employs gated graph neural networks to enrich news
representations, thereby fusing historical news representations by a historical
news aggregator. Similarly, we extend this approach to a Global Candidate News
Encoder, utilizing a global entity graph and a candidate news aggregator to
enhance candidate news representation. Evaluation results on two public news
datasets demonstrate that our method outperforms existing approaches.
Furthermore, our model offers more diverse recommendations.Comment: 10 pages, Recsys 202
