Building an Explainable Graph-based Biomedical Paper Recommendation System (Technical Report)
Digital libraries provide different access paths, allowing users to explore their collections. For instance, paper recommendation suggests literature similar to some selected paper. Their implementation is often cost-intensive, especially if neural methods are applied. Additionally, it is hard for users to understand or guess why a recommendation should be relevant for them. That is why we tackled the problem from a different perspective. We propose XGPRec, a graph-based and thus explainable method which we integrate into our existing graph-based biomedical discovery system. Moreover, we show that XGPRec (1) can, in terms of computational costs, manage a real digital library collection with 37M documents from the biomedical domain, (2) performs well on established test collections and concept-centric information needs, and (3) generates explanations that proved to be beneficial in a preliminary user study. We share our code so that user libraries can build upon XGPRec.
