This research introduces MR-ConceptGCN, a novel framework that integrates multi-relational graph convolutional networks with sequential modeling to enhance user representations in educational systems. By leveraging personal knowledge graphs and semantic embeddings from SBERT, the approach effectively captures both long-term and short-term learner interactions while preserving rich relational semantics often lost in homogeneous models. The study validates these improvements through an online experiment demonstrating gains in accuracy, usefulness, diversity, and satisfaction within a recommender system context.
Sequential Learner Modeling Using Multi-Relational Graph Convolutional Networks
arXiv:2607.19253v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: User modeling is a critical task in a variety of personalized systems. Recognizing their effectiveness in learning from graph-structured data, Graph Neural Networks (GNNs), particularly Graph Convolutional Networks (GCNs), are increasingly employed for user modeling. However, existing approaches typically treat different relation types in a graph as homogeneous, limiting their ability to capture richer semantics and construct more informative user models. While multi-relational GNNs (MR-GNNs) have been adopted for representation learning and recommendation, their application for user modeling remains unexplored. Moreover, existing GNN-based user modeling approaches ignore the user interaction sequence. To address these research gaps, in this work we propose MR-ConceptGCN, a novel fully unsupervised approach focused on concept-based sequential learner modeling using multi-relational GCNs (MR-GCNs). MR-ConceptGCN effecively combines Personal Knowledge Graphs (PKGs), MR-GCNs, and the pre-trained language model SBERT to obtain enhanced relation- and semantic-aware representations of the PKG items. The enriched embeddings of the knowledge concepts that a learner did not understand when interacting with learning materials in CourseMapper are then used to construct a sequential learner model that combines long-term and short-term learner interactions. We report the results of an online user study (n = 31), demonstrating the benefits of MR-ConceptGCN in terms of several important user-centric aspects including accuracy, usefulness, diversity, and satisfaction with an educational recommender system.
