Fast tool written in C to obtain sentences based on random walks from networks. Can be used to generate input data for word2vec and other embedding techniques.
- C11 compatible compiler (GCC, CLANG)
- OpenMP or libdispatch (MacOS)
Makefile can be used to compile the tool, just type
> cd CVRandomWalks
> make
The binary files will be generated at Build_($platform).
The walking algorithm uses regular random walks and biased random walks according to node2vec ([https://snap.stanford.edu/node2vec/]).
./CVRandomWalks q p w m network.xnet sentences.txt
p- for p in node2vec walks (1.0 for unbiased) [positive number]q- for q in node2vec walks (1.0 for unbiased) [positive number]w- length of each walk [positive integer]m- of sentences to be generated [positive integer]
Input is in .xnet format like in [http://github.com/filipinascimento/xnet]. For python, you can use the xnetwork package.
The output is a text with words separated by space and sentences separated by new line. It can be used directly on
- Build a python wrapper based on igraph and/or networkx
- Include other kinds of walks
- Better documentation and CLI help
- Error checking
