Bipartite Dynamic Representations (BiDyn)

Bipartite Dynamic Representations (BiDyn) is a general approach to transductive node classification on dynamic bipartite graphs, with additional components for the task of detecting abusive behavior in online communities.

It consists of three main components:

  1. A neural architecture for handling dynamic networks
  2. A memory-efficient training scheme for transductive node classification
  3. A self-supervised pretraining task for abuse detection

Problem setup

Given a dynamic bipartite graph and a subset of nodes with labeled classes, the model predicts the labels of the remaining nodes in the graph.

The dynamic bipartite graph consists of user nodes and item nodes connected by dynamic edges (edges with an associated timestamp). Each node and dynamic edge has an associated arbitrary feature vector.

The algorithm propagates signals through the graph via alternating updates of user and item node representations, alternating application of RNN and GNN layers. See paper and website for detailed explanation of the algorithm.

Setup

  1. Run pip3 install -r requirements.txt to install required libraries
  2. Download the datasets:
wget -P data/ http://snap.stanford.edu/jodie/wikipedia.csv
wget -P data/ http://snap.stanford.edu/jodie/reddit.csv
wget -P data/ http://snap.stanford.edu/jodie/mooc.csv

Usage

From the root project directory, run python3 -m alt_batch.train --dataset=[dataset] --agg=[agg] --objective=[objective] to train the model under different experimental conditions.

Option Possible values
dataset "wikipedia", "reddit", "mooc"
agg "mean" or "sum" graph convolution aggregation
objective "abuse" for node classification or "pretrain-link" for self-supervised pretraining followed by node classification

Further configuration options can be found in alt_batch/config.py.

Baseline: TGAT

From the root directory, run python3 -m baselines.tgat_transductive [args] where the command-line arguments follow the same format as the main script. Use alt_batch/config.py to adjust the configuration of TGAT as well.

Baseline: DyRep, JODIE, TGN

From the baselines/tgn directory, run the same commands as in https://github.com/twitter-research/tgn to run DyRep, JODIE and TGN, but replace train_supervised.py with train_supervised_transductive.py. Note that the self-supervised training phase (before the main transductive task) is used in the experiments in the paper.

Custom Datasets

To train and test on custom datasets, pass --dataset=[dataset] as the command-line option, and place your dataset in the file data/[dataset].csv. See https://github.com/srijankr/jodie, as well as the example datasets, for the dataset format. Note that unlike JODIE, BiDyn is designed for transductive node classification, i.e. each node in the graph gets a single label rather than a label per time step. Hence the label field for edges corresponding to a given node should have the same value across all its time steps. (For a given node, the program will use the label of the edge at the last time step associated with that node.)
