M2GRL

This is a demo of the M2GRL framework, which is designed for learning node representations from multi-view graphs for web-scale recommender Recommender systems.

For more details, please refer to our KDD2020 paper "M2GRL: A Multi-task Multi-view Graph Representation Learning Framework for Web-scale Recommender Systems"

Requirements

• python version: 2.7

• tensorflow verison: 1.8

Data format

A typical example of data has six columns: 'src_ids', 'dst_ids', 'src_id', 'dst_id', 'type', 'neg_ids'

'type': an integer indicates which task this data sample belongs to. The mapping configuration is defined in const.py (the key of dict TASK_CONFIG). 'src_id': the first element of data pair ('src_id','dst_id'). 'dst_id': the second element of data pair ('src_id','dst_id'). 'neg_ids': the sampled negative ids. 'src_ids': a fixed-length sequence of 'src_id', designed for efficient training. 'dst_ids': a fixed-length sequence of 'dst_id', designed for efficient training.

Note that in practice we aggregate data pairs by src_id and generate 'src_ids' and 'dst_ids'.

Below is an example in reader.py.

features={
            'src_ids': tf.FixedLenFeature([FLAGS.window_size*2], tf.int64),
            'dst_ids': tf.FixedLenFeature([FLAGS.window_size*2], tf.int64),
            'src_id': tf.FixedLenFeature([], tf.int64),
            'dst_id': tf.FixedLenFeature([], tf.int64),
            'type': tf.FixedLenFeature([], tf.int64),
            'neg_ids': tf.FixedLenFeature([20], tf.int64),
        })

How to set task settings

Configurations of tasks and views are in the const.py, where a sample config is given.

How to run M2GRL

1. run command python reader.py to generate example data.

2. run command python local_main.py to run the model. Set FLAGS.mode = "train" to train the model and FLAGS.mode = "export" to get the learned representations.
