Abstract

This paper presents a novel recommendation system for e-learning platforms. Recent years have seen the emergence of graph neural networks (GNNs) for learning representations over graph-structured data. Due to their promising performance in semi-supervised learning over graphs and in recommendation systems, we employ them in e-learning platforms for user profiling and content profiling. Affinity graphs between users and learning resources are constructed in this study, and GNNs are employed to generate recommendations over these affinity graphs. In the context of e-learning, our proposed approach outperforms multiple different content-based and collaborative filtering baselines.
