Dependencies

• Python 2.7 (https://www.python.org)
• Cython 0.20.1 (http://cython.org)
• numpy 1.8.1 (http://www.scipy.org)
• scipy 0.13.3 (http://www.scipy.org)

Versions

The repo maintains three versions of AMF in different branches:

• master: current optimized version in python
• icdcs14-python: python-version code for ICDCS'2014 paper
• icdcs14-matlab: matlab-version code for ICDCS'2014 paper

Usage

The AMF algorithm is implemented in C++ and further wrapped up as a python package for common use.

1. Install AMF package

   Download the repo: git clone https://github.com/wsdream/AMF.git,

   then install the package python setup.py install --user.

2. Change directory cd to "benchmarks/", and configure the parameters in benchmark scripts

   For example, in run_rt.py, you can config the 'parallelMode': True if you are running a multi-core machine. You can also set 'rounds': 1 for testing, which can make the execution finish soon.

3. Run the benchmark scripts

     $ python run_rt.py
     $ python run_tp.py 
   

4. Check the evaluation results in "benchmarks/result/" directory. Note that the repository has maintained the results evaluated on WS-DREAM datasets, which are ready for immediate use.
