Abstract

To address the issue that redundant social relationships in social recommender systems interfere with user representation learning and degrade recommendation performance, this study proposed a graph denoising and augmentation model for social recommendation based on graph contrastive learning (GDA_GCL) . The model examined the impact of noise on recommendation performance from both denoising and augmentation perspectives. On the one hand, it introduced user preference–guided social graph denoising to mitigate the negative influence of redundant social relationships on recommendation results. On the other hand, it injected noise into the social graph to simulate the existence of real-world social noise, thereby enhancing the robustness of the model. In addition, the study designed a self-supervised learning module to improve the consistency of learned representations. Experimental results on two public datasets demonstrated that, compared with the best-performing baseline methods, the proposed model improved Recall@20 by 3.48% and 5.93%, and increased NDCG@20 by 4.41% and 5.99%, respectively. These results indicate that the proposed model effectively alleviates the interference caused by social noise and significantly enhances the performance of social recommendation.
