⭐UPDATE 20240602:

We have further utilized the nearest-neighbors collaborative signal to enhance the performance of LightGCN, SGL. The new work can refer https://github.com/PeiJieSun/NESCL.

20221220:

As the python 2.7 is deprecated, I have convert the diffnet code into a new one to make it can be used under python 3.x. If you use python 3.x, tensorflow-gpu-1.x, you can run the code in directory diffnet-tensorflow-v1-python3. I have tested the development environment python 3.7, and tensorflow-1.15.

Basic Information:

This code is released for the papers:

Le Wu, Peijie Sun, Yanjie Fu, Richang Hong, Xiting Wang and Meng Wang. A Neural Influence Diffusion Model for Social Recommendation. Accepted by SIGIR2019. pdf.
Le Wu, Junwei Li, Peijie Sun, Richang Hong, Yong Ge, and Meng Wang. DiffNet++: A Neural Influence and Interest Diffusion Network for Social Recommendation. Accepted by IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering in Dec 2020. pdf

Usage:

  1. Environment: If you use python2.7, tensorflow-gpu-1.12.0, you can run the code in directory diffnet-tensorflow-v1; if you use python 3.7, tensorflow-gpu-1.15, you can run the code in directory diffnet-tensorflow-v1-python3.
  2. Run DiffNet:
    1. Download the yelp data from this link, and unzip the directories in yelp data to the sub-directory named diffnet of your local clone repository.
    2. cd the sub-directory diffnet and execute the command python entry.py --data_name=<data_name> --model_name=diffnet --gpu=<gpu id>
  3. Run DiffNet++:
    1. Download datasets from this link, and just put the downloaded folder 'data' in the sub-directory named diffnet++ of your local clone repository.
    2. cd the sub-directory diffnet++ and execute the command python entry.py --data_name=<data_name> --model_name=diffnetplus --gpu=<gpu id>
  4. If you have any available gpu device, you can specify the gpu id, or you can just ignore the gpu id.

Following are the command examples:
python entry.py --data_name=yelp --model_name=diffnet
python entry.py --data_name=yelp --model_name=diffnetplus
