Deep Time-Aware Item Evolution Network for Click-Through Rate Prediction

CIKM 2020 Anonymous Submission #563.

Introduction

Pipeline:

Prepare Data
Train Model

Running

We test our code on Python 2.7 and Tensorflow 1.4.

1. Prepare Data

mkdir -p dataset/Amazon_Clothing_Shoes_and_Jewelry/
cd dataset/Amazon_Clothing_Shoes_and_Jewelry/
wget -c http://snap.stanford.edu/data/amazon/productGraph/categoryFiles/reviews_Clothing_Shoes_and_Jewelry_5.json.gz
gzip -d reviews_Clothing_Shoes_and_Jewelry_5.json.gz
wget -c http://snap.stanford.edu/data/amazon/productGraph/categoryFiles/meta_Clothing_Shoes_and_Jewelry.json.gz
gzip -d meta_Clothing_Shoes_and_Jewelry.json.gz

1. Train

We introduce a novel TIEN method in our paper (Fig. 1). We have implemented multiple CTR prediction methods in our code (option --model).

python script/TIEN/train.py --model SVDPP[DNN,PNN,GRU4REC,ATRANK,CASER,UBGRUA,DIEN] --dataset Amazon_Clothing_Shoes_and_Jewelry

For dual behavior model, the truncation length of item behaviors can be changed (option --iblen).

python script/TIEN/train.py --model TIEN[TopoLSTM,DIB,IBGRUA] --dataset Amazon_Clothing_Shoes_and_Jewelry --iblen 5[10,20,30,40,50]

We also design ablation experiments to study how each component in TIEN contributes to the final performance.

python script/TIEN/train.py --model TIEN_sumagg[TIEN_timeatt,TIEN_robust,TIEN_timeaware] --dataset Amazon_Clothing_Shoes_and_Jewelry

To verify the utility of evolutionary item dynamics proposed by TIEN, we select several models using user behaviors as base models, including GRU4Rc, ATRANK, CASER, and DIEN.

python script/TIEN/train.py --model GRU4REC_TIEN[ATRANK_TIEN,ATRANK_TIEN,DIEN_TIEN] --dataset Amazon_Clothing_Shoes_and_Jewelry

Finally, we study the parameter sensitivity of TIEN (option --hidden_units, -embedding).

python script/TIEN/train.py --model TIEN --dataset Amazon_Clothing_Shoes_and_Jewelry --hidden_units 1024,512,256,128,1
python script/TIEN/train.py --model TIEN --dataset Amazon_Clothing_Shoes_and_Jewelry --embedding 128
