Recommendation systems play a vital role in identifying the hidden interactions between users and items in online social networks. Recently, graph neural networks (GNNs) have exhibited significant performance gains by modeling the information propagation process in graph-structured data for a recommendation. However, existing GNN-based methods do not have broad applicability to heterogeneous graphs that integrate auxiliary data with diverse types. Moreover, graph structures are susceptible to noise and even unnoticed malicious perturbations, as perturbations from connected nodes can create cumulative effects on a target node in the graph. To enhance the robustness and generalization of GNN-based recommendations, we propose a new optimization model named Adversarial Heterogeneous Graph Neural Network for RECommendation (AHGNNRec). First, AHGNNRec learns user and item embeddings by exploring the distinct contributions of various types of interactions between users and items using a hierarchical heterogeneous graph neural network (HGNN). Second, to produce more robust embeddings for recommendations, we employ the adversarial training (AT) method to optimize the HGNN layers. AT is a min-max optimization training process where the generated adversarial fake nodes from normal nodes with intentional perturbations try to maximally deteriorate the recommendation performance. Following this, we learn about these adversarial user or item nodes by minimizing the impact of an additional regularization term for the recommendation. The experimental outcomes on two real-world benchmark datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of AHGNNRec
