This is a TensorFlow implementation of Recurrent Cascades Convolution for the task of information cascades prediction, And the paper "Information Diffusion Prediction via Recurrent Cascades Convolution" (Accepted by ICDE 2019) will be avilable to download at the internet soon.

• data/ put the download dataset here;
• model/ contains the implementation of the CasCN;
• preprocessing/ contains preprocessing code：
  • split the data to train set, validation set and test set (utils.py);
  • trainsform the datasets to the format of ".pkl" (preprocess_graph_signal.py)
  • (config.py) you can configure parameters and filepath in this file .

The datasets we used in our paper are Sina Weibo and HEP-PH. For the Sina Weibo dataset, you can download here and the HEP-PH dataset is avilable here. Also, we provide a pre-processed Weibo dataset (T=3 hours) here and the file password is: (a7xu)

1.split the data to train set, validation set and test set. Then trainsform the datasets to the format of ".pkl" command:

cd preprocessing
python utils.py
python preprocess_graph_signal.py

2.train Model command:

cd model
python run_graph_sequence.py

If you want to do the experiment with citation dataset - "HEP-PE", you should first transform the format of citation dataset as the same as Weibo dataset. (the format of Weibo dataset you can reference here). And the version of the Tensorflow we used is 1.0.
