1. What is the core function of recommendation systems?
The core function of recommendation systems is to recommend the most similar service to a user by measuring the similarity between user needs and the existing service. In general, the most mainstream service recommendation methods are based on Collaborative Filtering (CF), which predicts potential favorite service for a user by employing rate data selected from similar users. To recommend services more efficiently, multiple aspects of historical information generated in the past service usage are used, including the item's profile, user feedback and review on service, user preference on service, etc. However, existing recommendation methods on Service-Based System (SBS) development incorporate only limited interaction records and little contextual knowledge. The various types of data can cover different potential information, and there are many fundamental logical relationships between them. The motivation of this paper is to merge a diversified system and service information into a knowledge model in terms of potential relations, achieving more efficient service recommendation results. The knowledge graph (KG) is proposed as a way to incorporate data and depict logical relations originating from complex data.

2. What is the purpose of conducting experiments on the PWeb dataset?
The purpose of conducting experiments on the PWeb dataset is to validate the feasibility of our method. The experimental results show that our method can obtain high improvement in service recommendation hit rate and ranking quality. This helps in demonstrating the effectiveness and potential of our approach in real-world scenarios.

3. What is the CF-based service recommendation method?
CF-based service recommendation methods utilize user or service similarity to make recommendations. Yu et al. proposed the CF method for web service recommendation, addressing data sparsity with regularized matrix factorization. Location-aware CF approaches, as proposed in [10, 11], focus on quality of service (QoS) prediction. Gang et al. [12] introduced a time-aware CF approach based on implicit feedback for real-world web services. Hybrid CF approaches, mentioned in [13, 14], predict missing QoS values. Deep learning has been applied to CF, with Deng et al. [15] proposing the Deep CF model that combines representation learning and matching function learning. The CML approach, introduced in [16], enhances CF performance by utilizing auxiliary knowledge from text, images, and tags.

4. What is Knowledge Graph Embedding?
Knowledge Graph Embedding is a method for learning low-dimensional representations of heterogeneous entities and relationships in a knowledge graph. It models relation patterns to infer missing links with similar patterns. Entities in the KG are embedded as vectors, and the score function measures the potential relation of a triple. This method has gained attention for service recommendation in SBS development, with various approaches like random-walking, network GAN-based recommendation, and Word2Vec and TransR algorithms for embedding services into low-dimensional space.
