Basic Information:

This code is released for the papers:

Le Wu, Peijie Sun, Yanjie Fu, Richang Hong, Xiting Wang and Meng Wang. A Neural Influence Diffusion Model for Social Recommendation. Accepted by SIGIR2019. pdf.
Le Wu, Junwei Li, Peijie Sun, Richang Hong, Yong Ge, and Meng Wang. DiffNet++: A Neural Influence and Interest Diffusion Network for Social Recommendation. Accepted by IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering in Dec 2020. pdf

Usage:

1. Environment: I have tested this code with python2.7, tensorflow-gpu-1.12.0
2. Run DiffNet:
   1. Download the yelp data from this link, and unzip the directories in yelp data to the sub-directory named diffnet of your local clone repository.
   2. cd the sub-directory diffnet and execute the command python entry.py --data_name=<data_name> --model_name=diffnet --gpu=<gpu id>
3. Run DiffNet++:
   1. Download datasets from this link, and just put the downloaded folder 'data' in the sub-directory named diffnet++ of your local clone repository.
   2. cd the sub-directory diffnet++ and execute the command python entry.py --data_name=<data_name> --model_name=diffnetplus --gpu=<gpu id>
4. If you have any available gpu device, you can specify the gpu id, or you can just ignore the gpu id.

Following are the command examples:
python entry.py --data_name=yelp --model_name=diffnet
python entry.py --data_name=yelp --model_name=diffnetplus
