Prerequisites

• Linux or macOS
• Python 2 or 3
• scipy
• sklearn

Installation

Clone this repo.

git clone https://github.com/lykeven/ProNE
cd ProNE

Please install dependencies by

pip install -r requirements.txt

Dataset

These datasets are public datasets.

• PPI contains 3,890 nodes and 76,584 edges.
• blogcatalog contains 10,312 nodes and 333,983 edges.
• youtube contains 1,138,499 nodes and 2,990,443 edges.

Training

Training on the existing datasets

Create emb directory to save output embedding file

mkdir emb

You can use python proNE.py -graph example_graph to train ProNE model on the example data.

If you want to train on the PPI dataset, you can run

python proNE.py -graph data/PPI.ungraph -emb1 emb/PPI_sparse.emb -emb2 emb/PPI_spectral.emb
 -dimension 128 -step 10 -theta 0.5 -mu 0.2

Where PPI_sparse.emb and PPI_spectral.emb are output embedding files and dimension, step, theta and mu are our model parameters.

Training on your own datasets

If you want to train ProNE on your own dataset, you should prepare the following files:

• edgelist.txt: Each line represents an edge, which contains two tokens <node1> <node2> where each token is a number starting from 0.

Training on c++ version ProNE

ProNE is mainly single-thread(except for the svd on small matrices). We also provide a c++ multi-thread program ProNE.cpp for large-scale network based on Eigen, redsvd and boost. Openmp and MKL are used to speed up. Besides, gflags is required to parse command parameter. This version is about 3 times faster under all optimization than the reported result in paper on youtube and the performance is still optimizing.

Compile it via

g++ ProNE.cpp -fopenmp -l redsvd -l gflags -l pthread -o3 -o ProNE.out

If you want to train on the PPI dataset, you can run

./ProNE.out -filename data/PPI.ungraph -emb1 emb/PPI.emb1 -emb2 emb/PPI.emb2
 -num_node 3890 -num_step 10 -num_thread 20 -num_rank 128 -theta 0.5 -mu 0.2

If you have ANY difficulties to get things working in the above steps, feel free to open an issue. You can expect a reply within 24 hours.
