Graph Neural Network for Product Recommendation on the Amazon Co-purchase Graph

Abstract: Identifying relevant information among massive volumes of data is a challenge for modern recommendation systems. Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have demonstrated significant potential by utilizing structural and semantic relationships through graph-based learning. This study assessed the abilities of four GNN architectures, LightGCN, GraphSAGE, GAT, and PinSAGE, on the Amazon Product Co-purchase Network under link prediction settings. We examined practical trade-offs between architectures, model performance, scalability, training complexity and generalization. The outcomes demonstrated each model's performance characteristics for deploying GNN in real-world recommendation scenarios.
