• tensorflow >= r1.2
• hyperopt
• gensim
• sklearn

To download the dataset used:

cd ./data
python prepare_data.py

Construct the knowledge graph:

python create_kg.py

Preprocessing the data:

python preprocess.py -p -g

Copy the directory ./fb3m in the data folder in tensorflow-efe and run the following commands to obtain the complex embeddings:

python preprocess.py --data fb3m
python train.py --model best_Complex_tanh_fb3m --data fb3m --save
python get_embeddings.py --embed complex --model best_Complex_tanh_fb3m --output <repo_path>/fb3m

Then copy e2id.txt and r2id.txt in the tensorflow-efe/data/fb3m to ./fb3m and run the following command:

python get_embeddings.py 

python task.py --model <model_name> --eval <max_number_of_search> --runs <number_of_runs_per_setting>

model_name can be found in model_param_space.py. You can also define the search space by yourself.

python eval.py --model <model_name> --prefix <file_prefix> --runs <number_of_runs>

model_name can be found in model_param_space.py. To replicate our results, use best_complex_hrere as the model_name. It will run the model multiple times and calculate the means and stds of P@N which are logged in ./log. The predicted probabilities and labels of the first run are stored in plot/output for plotting PR curves.

After replicating the results, we find that the results on P@N(%) reported in the paper seem to be a bit over-optimisitic due to the variance. According our replication based on 5 runs (./log/replication.log), the results are P@10% (0.849 +- 0.019), P@30% (0.728 +- 0.019), P@50% (0.636 +- 0.013). We also report our scores to NLP Progress based on this replication.
