AI总结:

本文提出 EasyTPP,一个面向时间点过程的开放中央基准,统一数据集、评估程序、神经 TPP 实现与模块库,以促进方法比较、结果复现和事件序列建模研究。

摘要:

连续时间事件序列在医疗保健、金融、在线购物、社交网络等现实领域中发挥着至关重要的作用。为了对此类数据进行建模,时间点过程(TPP)已成为最自然、最具竞争力的模型,在学术界和应用界都产生了重大影响。尽管近年来出现了许多强大的模型,但一直没有一个用于这些模型和未来研究工作的中央基准。这种标准化的缺乏阻碍了研究人员和从业者比较方法并复现结果,可能会减缓该领域的进展。在本文中,我们提出了 EasyTPP,这是事件序列建模领域首个研究资产(例如数据、模型、评估程序、文档)中央存储库。我们的 EasyTPP 对该领域作出了若干独特贡献:用于使用现有数据集和添加新数据集的统一接口;范围广泛、易于使用和扩展并促进可复现研究的评估程序;流行神经 TPP 的实现,以及丰富的模块库,通过组合这些模块可以快速构建复杂模型。所有数据和实现均可在 https://github.com/ant-research/EasyTemporalPointProcess 找到。我们将积极维护这一基准,并欢迎其他研究人员和从业者作出贡献。我们的基准将有助于推动该领域的可复现研究,从而加快研究进展并产生更重大的现实影响。

英文摘要:

Continuous-time event sequences play a vital role in real-world domains such as healthcare, finance, online shopping, social networks, and so on. To model such data, temporal point processes (TPPs) have emerged as the most natural and competitive models, making a significant impact in both academic and application communities. Despite the emergence of many powerful models in recent years, there hasn't been a central benchmark for these models and future research endeavors. This lack of standardization impedes researchers and practitioners from comparing methods and reproducing results, potentially slowing down progress in this field. In this paper, we present EasyTPP, the first central repository of research assets (e.g., data, models, evaluation programs, documentations) in the area of event sequence modeling. Our EasyTPP makes several unique contributions to this area: a unified interface of using existing datasets and adding new datasets; a wide range of evaluation programs that are easy to use and extend as well as facilitate reproducible research; implementations of popular neural TPPs, together with a rich library of modules by composing which one could quickly build complex models. All the data and implementation can be found at https://github.com/ant-research/EasyTemporalPointProcess. We will actively maintain this benchmark and welcome contributions from other researchers and practitioners. Our benchmark will help promote reproducible research in this field, thus accelerating research progress as well as making more significant real-world impacts.
