In this paper, we propose a graph learning method that models user–content interactions as a graph and effectively captures domain-specific structural characteristics and noise. To achieve data-adaptive graph learning, we build on an enhanced Graph Attention Network (GAT) that applies different operations to each head and design specialized heads such as RatingConv and PopConv to reflect data characteristics during training. The proposed method achieves approximately a 10% performance improvement in the NDCG@20 metric compared to existing baseline models on standard recommendation benchmarks, including the MovieLens-1M, MovieLens-25M, and FilmTrust datasets.
