Abstract:Neural graph collaborative filtering is a powerful tool for recommendation due to its superb capability of capturing the user-item interaction. Despite the substantial progress, the noisy nature of interaction data remains a significant challenge in collaborative filtering, especially for data collected from implicit feedback. Both noisy interactions and interactions crafted by malicious users could greatly degenerate model performance. To purify the input data and enhance model robustness, it is vital to understand how noisy interactions can be identified and rectified. Existing denoising methods focus on mining the correlation between user/item embeddings and noisy interactions, neglecting the temporal dimension for denoising. However, time information bears its natural and unique advantage in revealing noisy edges as we observe in this paper. In this work, we introduce a simple yet effective mechanism for generating time-aware user/item embeddings that capture both global preferences and temporal patterns. Two strategies, reweighting adjacency matrix (Tint-A) and reweighting loss function (Tint-L), are proposed to leverage the embeddings for the task of using \underline{t}ime \underline{in}forma\underline{t}ion to denoise \underline{c}ollaborative \underline{f}iltering (TintCF). Extensive experiments have been conducted on four real-world datasets to demonstrate the efficacy of our methods and illustrate how time information indeed helps identify and rectify noisy edges.
