DeepTrust

Overview

This repository is Python implementation of the method proposed in "DeepTrust: A Deep User Model of Homophily Effect for Trust Prediction ", Qi Wang, Weiliang Zhao, Jian Yang, Jia Wu, Wenbin Hu, Qianli Xing, ICDM 2019. It is constituted of the follows sections: input/ contains example data of Epinions; src/ contains the implementation of the proposed DeepTrust method.

Requirements

Usage

Input and options

  • Input

    • We store the input file in database and the structure of the input file is: (Trustor, Trustee, Trust Value). Some examples of input file are as follows:
      Trustor Trustee Trust Value
      1 2 0
      2 3 1
      3 4 0
      4 5 1

    The first two columns indicates the IDs of user pairs. The third column is the trust values between user pairs, with value "1" indicating there are trust relations between users while value "0" indicating without trust relations. You can set an input graph in different forms as you want such as .txt format.

  • Options

    • We present a table of brief explanations on main parameters.

      Parameter Type Explanation Default
      --niter INT Number of epochs to train 5
      --batch_size INT Size of batch to train in each epoch 5000
      --lr FLOAT Learning rate 0.1
      --decay FLOAT Deacy speed of learning rate 1.1
      --negNum INT Number of negative instances 5
      --save_dir PATH Path to save runing log log/

Demo Examples

Train our DeepTrust model on the deafult Epinions dataset, output the performance on trust prediction task. For trust prediction task, we use widely used prediction accurcy as evaluation metric.

We run python src/main.py with default epoch number (5) and test ratio (20%), and the result is as follows:
