Question about Random seeds

[Weiweihere]

❓ Question

Hi developer,

I have met a problem regarding the setting of random seeds, below is the walk configuration:

random.seed(22)

RANDOM_STATE = 22

transformer = RDF2VecTransformer(
Word2Vec(),
walkers=[RandomWalker(max_depth=8,
max_walks=20,
sampler=PageRankSampler(),
# random_state=RANDOM_STATE,
with_reverse=True,
md5_bytes=None,
)],
verbose=2
)

after i set with_reverse=True, i tryed to use below individualy or Simultaneously :

random.seed(22) and

RANDOM_STATE = 22

to make the embedding Reproducible，but it doesn`t work, i want to ask whether i did some thing wrong, or missed something.

Best Regards

Hi, this is due to the internal hashing of Python. To ensure determinism, you need to run it from command line as documented in our README:

PYTHONHASHSEED=42 python generate_embeddings.py
