Web Service Recommendation via Integrating Heterogeneous Graph Attention Network Representation and FiBiNET Score Prediction

Abstract

The rapid growth in the number and diversity of Web service, coupled with the myriad of similar Web service in functionality, makes it challenging to find most suitable Web service for users to accelerate and accomplish Mashup development. Therefore, this paper proposes a Web service recommendation method via integrating heterogeneous graph attention network representation and FiBiNET (Feature Importance and Bilinear feature Interaction NETwork) score prediction. In this method, firstly, a heterogeneous information service network is constructed by using composite service information, atomic service information, and their respective attribute information. Secondly, the meta-paths are defined according to different semantic information and service similarity matrixes are built by using commuting matrix and meta-path-based similarity measurement technology. A two-layer attention model is designed to calculate the node level attention and meta-path-level attention of the services respectively, and generate the feature representation of Web service. Thirdly, for the Web services in the service cluster, combining their feature representations with multi-dimensional QoS attributes, the FiBiNET is exploited to dynamically learn the importance of features and complex feature interactions, and predict the score of Web services. Finally, the experiments are performed on the real Web service dataset. The experimental results show that the proposed method is better than the other nine methods in terms of accuracy, recall, F1, and AUC, and achieves better classification and recommendation quality.
