The paper presents a scalable graph neural network (GNN) system for friend recommendation on a massive social graph. It introduces two key design choices: multi-hash ID embeddings that shrink the embedding table by over 98% without hurting ranking quality, and a timestamp-sorted compressed sparse row (CSR) storage with binary search that reduces temporal neighbor sampling from linear to logarithmic time. Experiments on a 194‑million‑user, 28‑billion‑edge graph show that these techniques enable production‑grade performance, boosting friend additions by 16% and unique friend adders by 11.5% in an online A/B test.

The paper studies candidate generation for alternative vacation rental recommendations, comparing collaborative filtering, shallow embeddings, and graph neural network (GNN) methods on a platform with over 2 million active properties. A hybrid model that combines item-based collaborative filtering with GNN-based retrieval achieves a 14.8% higher Recall@300 than the best baseline, leveraging each method’s strengths: collaborative filtering for well-interacted properties and GNNs for diverse, cold-start alternatives. The authors also show that stronger candidate pools improve downstream ranking quality, though the exact impact is intertwined with ranker training.
