Diffusion Recommender Model

This is the pytorch implementation of our paper at SIGIR 2023:

Diffusion Recommender Model

Wenjie Wang, Yiyan Xu, Fuli Feng, Xinyu Lin, Xiangnan He, Tat-Seng Chua

Environment

• Anaconda 3
• python 3.8.10
• pytorch 1.12.0
• numpy 1.22.3

Usage

Data

The experimental data are in './datasets' folder, including Amazon-Book, Yelp and MovieLens-1M. Note that the item embedding files of Amazon-book for clean setting and noisy setting are not here due to filesize limits, which are available at OneDrive. Those item embeddings used in L-DiffRec are derived from a pre-trained LightGCN specific to each dataset.

Note that the results on ML-1M differ from those reported in CODIGEM, owing to different data processing procedures. CODIGEM did not sort and split the training/testing sets according to timestamps; however, temporal splitting aligns better with the real-world testing.

Training

To reproduce the results and perform fine-tuning of the hyperparameters, please refer to the model name specified in the inference.py file. Ensure that the hyperparameter 'noise_min' is set to a value lower than 'noise_max'.

Inference

1. Download the checkpoints released by us from OneDrive.
2. Put the 'checkpoints' folder into the current folder.
3. Run inference.py

python inference.py --dataset=$1 --gpu=$2

Examples

1. Train DiffRec on Amazon-book under clean setting

cd ./DiffRec
sh run.sh amazon-book_clean 5e-5 0 400 [1000] 10 x0 5 0.0001 0.0005 0.005 0 1 log 1 0

2. Inference L-DiffRec on Yelp under noisy setting

cd ./L-DiffRec
python inference.py --dataset=yelp_noisy --gpu=0
