Abstract: To predict users' purchase intention, in terms of feature extraction method, an improved graph sampling aggregation algorithm that introduces time series and location information is designed. Next, the study proposes a user purchase intention prediction algorithm that combines graph sampling aggregation algorithm and higher-order graph neural network. The experimental results based on the public dataset of mainstream e-commerce platforms from 2022 to 2024 show that, the feature extraction capability of the improved graph sampling aggregation algorithm was significantly better than the traditional method. The performance of the willingness prediction algorithm was even more outstanding. In experiments comparing it with high-order graph neural networks, lightweight gradient boosting machines, graph convolutional network logistic regression combination models, etc., its accuracy was above 92%, the maximum F1 value was 0.967. The performance of the feature extraction method and prediction algorithm is better than that of the comparison model.
