Knowledge Graph Policy Network

This is our Pytorch implementation for the paper:

Xiang Wang, Yaokun Xu, Xiangnan He, Yixin Cao, Meng Wang and Tat-Seng Chua (2020). Reinforced Negative Sampling over Knowledge Graph for Recommendation. Paper in ACM DL or Paper in arXiv. In WWW'2020, Taipei, Taiwan, China, April 20–24, 2020.

Author: Dr. Xiang Wang (xiangwang at u.nus.edu) and Mr. Yaokun Xu (xuyaokun98 at gmail.com)

Introduction

Knowledge Graph Policy Network (KGPolicy) is a new negative sampling framework tailored to knowledge-aware personalized recommendation. Exploiting rich connections of knowledge graph, KGPolicy is able to discover high-quality (i.e., informative and factual) items as negative training instances, thus providing better recommendation.

Reproducibility

To demonstrate the reporducibility of the best performance reported in our paper and faciliate researchers for development and testing purpose, we provide the instructions as follows. Later, we will release the other baselines.

1. Data and Source Code

We follow our previous work, KGAT, and you can get the detailed information about the datasets in KGAT.

i. Create a new directory for this repo

➜ mkdir KG-Policy
➜ cd KG-Policy

ii. Get dataset and pretrain model

➜ wget https://github.com/xiangwang1223/kgpolicy/releases/download/v1.0/Data.zip
➜ unzip Data.zip

iii. Get source code

➜ git clone https://github.com/xiangwang1223/kgpolicy.git

2. Environment

Please use conda to manage the environment.

i. Switch to source code dir

➜ cd kgpolicy

ii. Create a new environment

➜ conda create -n geo python=3.6
➜ conda activate geo

iii. Ensure python version is 3.6. Then install all requirements for this project.

➜ bash setup.sh

Note that: Sometimes there is mismatch between cuda version and torch_geometric version. If you encounter this problem, please try to install a correct cuda version. If you prefer to install all dependences by yourself, please ensure torch_geometric is properly installed. After doing these, now it's ready to train KG-Policy model.

3. Train

i. Train KG-Policy on last-fm. Also, KG-Policy can be trained on other two datasets, amazon-book and yelp2018, check it out in Data.

➜ python main.py

To run on other two datasets

➜ python main.py --regs 1e-4 --dataset yelp2018 --model_path model/best_yelp.ckpt 
➜ python main.py --regs 1e-4 --dataset amazon-book --model_path model/best_ab.ckpt 

Note that: The default regs is 1e-5, while we use 1e-4 as regs when training amazon-book and yelp2018. There are also some others parameters can be tuned for a better performance, check it out at common/config/parser.py.

4. Experiment result

To be consistent to our KGAT, we use the same evaluation metrics (i.e., Recall@K and NDCG@K), use the same codes released in KGAT, and report them in our KGPolicy paper. We note that this implementation of NDCG@K is different from the standard definition, while they reflect similar trendings. Hence here we also report the results in terms of the standard NDCG@K* and please check the implementation at common/test.py.
