Source code and datasets of IJCAI2017 paper "TransNet: Translation-Based Network Representation Learning for Social Relation Extraction".

This work is selected as an example of the “MLTrain” training event in UAI 2017 (The Conference on Uncertainty in Artificial Intelligence). We release an ipython notebook that demonstrates the algorithm of TransNet. Details please refer to the "ipynb" directory.

This folder "data" contains three different scales of datasets extracted from Aminer. Please unzip the "data.zip" file before using it.

• aminer_s: 187,939 vertices, 1,619,278 edges and 100 labels.
• aminer_m: 268,037 vertices, 2,747,386 edges and 500 labels.
• aminer_l: 945,589 vertices, 5,056,050 edges and 500 labels.

The mapping from authors to identifiers in aminer_s/m/l is lost. We offer a raw aminer dataset which contains 5000 labels of edges and 1,712,433 authors. The dataset is extracted from AMiner. Please unzip the "aminer_raw.zip" file before using it.

Run the following command for training TransNet:

python train.py name_of_dataset alpha beta warm_up_to_reload transnet_to_reload

Here is an example:

python train.py aminer_s/ 0.5 20 -1 -1

Explanations of the parameters:

• name_of_dataset: name of dataset ("aminer_s/", "aminer_m/" or "aminer_l/")
• alpha: the weight of autoencoder loss
• beta: the weight of non-zero element in autoencoder
• warm_up_to_reload: if >=0, reload saved autoencoder parameters and skip warm-up process
• transnet_to_reload: if >=0, reload saved TransNet parameters

• Tensorflow == 0.12
• Scipy == 0.18.1
• Numpy == 1.11.2
