[jira] [Commented] (GIRAPH-191) Random Walks on Graphs

["Gianmarco De Francisci Morales (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GIRAPH-191?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13279026#comment-13279026 ] 

Gianmarco De Francisci Morales commented on GIRAPH-191:
-------------------------------------------------------

I tested the patch and it looks like it's working.
I had to change the config parameter to add .getName() to SOURCE_VERTEX in RandomWalkWithRestartVertex.java:35
{code}
    /** Configuration parameter for the source vertex */
    static final String SOURCE_VERTEX =
            RandomWalkWithRestartVertex.class.getName() + ".sourceVertex";
{code}

Otherwise the String reads as "class blah..."

I compared some toy output with a reference implementation and it looks good!

I think the next step would be to support weighted graphs.
The graph can be made stochastic on the fly, at loading time.
Thoughts?

I will try to hack some code.

> Implementing RWR on Giraph should be a very simple modification of the SimplePageRankVertex code.
> {code}
> if ( myID == sourceID )
>       DoubleWritable vertexValue = new DoubleWritable((0.15f + 0.85f * sum);
> else
>       DoubleWritable vertexValue = new DoubleWritable(0.85f * sum);
> {code}
> It would be nice to make it as configurable as possible by using parametric damping factors, preference vectors, strongly preferential, etc...
> More or less along these lines:
