In the industrial e-commerce recommender systems, the sparsity of user–item interaction limits the improvement of the performance of collaborative filtering recommendation. Some studies have leveraged attribute co-occurrence or similar neighbors to enhance the semantic representation quality of users and items. Previous methods consider collaborative signals of homogeneous type nodes, such as →user and →item. By exploiting homogeneous and heterogeneous signals of attribute and neighbor views, we design a multiview graph collaborative filtering (MVGCF) network for recommendation. The MVGCF model utilizes both co-occurrence features of various attribute values and collaborative preference of various neighbors to learn the embedding representation of nodes. Experimental results show that the MVGCF is superior to the state-of-the-art models in AUC and logloss metrics by 1.41% and 3.12% for MovieLens 1M dataset, and by 2.35% and 2.31% for BookCrossing dataset. Aiming at the sparse problem with a small amount of interaction records, our findings is that attribute co-occurrence and neighbor collaboration can improve the accuracy and provide a good explanation for e-commerce recommender systems.
