More Details

Dataset

We provide one processed dataset : MovieLens 100k (ml-100k). For each user, we treat the latest interaction as the test set and remaining data for training. Besides, we randomly select 50 movies that are not interacted by the user and rank the test movie amongst the 50 movies.

train.rating:

  • Train file.
  • Each Line is a training instance: userID itemID rating timestamp (if have)

test.rating:

  • Test file (positive instances).
  • Each Line is a testing instance: userID rated_itemID_1 rated_itemID_2 rated_itemID_3...

test.negative

  • Test file (negative instances).
  • Each line corresponds to the line of test.rating, containing 50 negative samples.
  • Each line is in the format: (userID,rated_itemID_1,rated_itemID_2,rated_itemID_3,...) negativeItemID1 negativeItemID2 ...

Metapath Construction

The data we utilize is located in HIN Datasets or you can obtain it by executing the dataProcessing.py.

python dataProcessing.py

Run metapath construction :

The metapathbasedPathSampleForMovielens.py constructs different meta-paths for the following model training.

python metapathbasedPathSampleForMovielens.py --walk_num 5 --metapath umtm

Here,

  • uafile : user_age.dat , which extracts from original u.user,

    010 : 1; 11 20 : 2; 2130 : 3; 3140 : 4；4150 : 5; 5160 : 6

  • uofile : user_occupation.dat, which is the relation between u.user and u.occupation

  • mtfile : movie_genre.dat, which the relation between u.user and u.genre

  • uufile : user_user(knn).dat

  • mmfile : movie_movie(knn).dat

Output：

  • the meaningful meta-path samples，which constructs “umtm / ummm / umum / uuum” meta-path samples.
  • the filename's format is "dataset"."metapath"_"walk_length"_"K"

Example to run the codes.

The parameter setting is set on line 476-484 of file MCRec, and the dataset for which is Movielens-100K. Be sure to refer to it while experimenting with different datasets.

Run MCRec:

python MCRec.py --dataset ml-100k --epochs 30 --batch_size 256 --learner adam --lr 0.001 --latent_dim 128 --latent_layer_dim [512, 256, 128, 64] --num_neg 4

Remarkable

  • the pretrain embedding will be useful for the model training and meta-path construction
  • the negative sample is necessary for our model training, which is located in the line 413 of MCRec.py
