Fast-Partial-Ranking-MNL

This repo provides a PyTorch implementation for the CopulaGNN models as described in the following paper:

Fast Learning of MNL Model From General Partial Rankings with Application to Network Formation Modeling.

Jiaqi Ma*, Xingjian Zhang*, and Qiaozhu Mei. WSDM 2022.

(*: Equal contribution.)

Requirements

The code requires the following packages.

more_itertools==8.10.0
networkx==2.5.1
numpy==1.19.5
pandas==1.1.5
pyclustering==0.10.1.2
torch==1.9.0
tqdm==4.62.3

Example Commands to Run the Experiments

1. Learning single MNL from partial rankings on synthetic data

python3 dag_synthetic.py --num_classes 100 --num_samples 5000  # single MNL

2. Learning mixture of MNL from partial rankings on synthetic data

python3 dag_synthetic.py --num_classes 60 --num_samples 5000 --alphas [1,1,1]  --init_by_cluster # 3 MNLs with clustering based init

3. Network formation modeling of synthetic network data

python3 network_synthetic.py -r 0.5 -p 0.5 --fof --ua --pa --loss topk  # run full model with 4 components on a mixed (r,p)-graph

4. Network formation modeling of Flickr & Microsoft Academic Graph
