With the increase of complexity of modern software, social collaborative coding and reuse of open source software packages become more and more popular, which thus greatly enhances the development efficiency and software quality. However, the explosive growth of open source software packages exposes developers to the challenge of information overload. While this can be addressed by conventional recommender systems, they usually do not consider particular constraints of social coding such as social influence among developers and dependency relations among software packages. In this paper, we aim to model the dynamic interests of developers with both social influence and dependency constraints, and propose the Session-based Social and Dependency-aware software Recommendation (SSDRec) model. This model integrates recurrent neural network (RNN) and graph attention network (GAT) into a unified framework. A RNN is employed to model the short-term dynamic interests of developers in each session and two GATs are utilized to capture social influence from friends and dependency constraints from dependent software packages, respectively. Extensive experiments are conducted on real-world datasets and the results demonstrate that our model significantly outperforms the competitive baselines.

Session-based recommendation aims at predicting the next item given a sequence of previous items consumed in the session, e.g., on e-commerce or multimedia streaming services. Specifically, session data exhibits some unique characteristics, i.e., ses sion consistency and sequential dependency over items within the session, repeated item consumption, and session timeliness. In this paper, we propose simple-yet-effective linear models for considering the holistic aspects of the sessions. The comprehensive nature of our models helps improve the quality of session-based recommendation. More importantly, it provides a generalized framework for reflecting different perspectives of session data. Furthermore, since our models can be solved by closed-form solutions, they are highly scalable. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed linear models show competitive or state-of-the-art performance in various metrics on several real-world datasets.
For present e-commerce platforms, session-based recommender systems are developed to predict users preference for next-item recommendation. Although a session can usually reflect a users current preference, a local shift of the users intention within the session may still exist. Specifically, the interactions that take place in the early positions within a session generally indicate the users initial intention, while later interactions are more likely to represent the latest intention. Such positional information has been rarely considered in existing methods, which restricts their ability to capture the significance of interactions at different positions. To thoroughly exploit the positional information within a session, a theoretical framework is developed in this paper to provide an in-depth analysis of the positional information. We formally define the properties of forward-awareness and backward-awareness to evaluate the ability of positional encoding schemes in capturing the initial and the latest intention. According to our analysis, existing positional encoding schemes are generally forward-aware only, which can hardly represent the dynamics of the intention in a session. To enhance the positional encoding scheme for the session-based recommendation, a dual positional encoding (DPE) is proposed to account for both forward-awareness and backward-awareness. Based on DPE, we propose a novel Positional Recommender (PosRec) model with a well-designed Position-aware Gated Graph Neural Network module to fully exploit the positional information for session-based recommendation tasks. Extensive experiments are conducted on two e-commerce benchmark datasets, Yoochoose and Diginetica and the experimental results show the superiority of the PosRec by comparing it with the state-of-the-art session-based recommender models.
Social network research has focused on hyperlink graphs, bibliographic citations, friend/follow patterns, influence spread, etc. Large software repositories also form a highly valuable networked artifact, usually in the form of a collection of packag es, their developers, dependencies among them, and bug reports. This social network of code is rarely studied by social network researchers. We introduce two new problems in this setting. These problems are well-motivated in the software engineering community but not closely studied by social network scientists. The first is to identify packages that are most likely to be troubled by bugs in the immediate future, thereby demanding the greatest attention. The second is to recommend developers to packages for the next development cycle. Simple autoregression can be applied to historical data for both problems, but we propose a novel method to integrate network-derived features and demonstrate that our method brings additional benefits. Apart from formalizing these problems and proposing new baseline approaches, we prepare and contribute a substantial dataset connecting multiple attributes built from the long-term history of 20 releases of Ubuntu, growing to over 25,000 packages with their dependency links, maintained by over 3,800 developers, with over 280k bug reports.
Different from the traditional recommender system, the session-based recommender system introduces the concept of the session, i.e., a sequence of interactions between a user and multiple items within a period, to preserve the users recent interest. The existing work on the session-based recommender system mainly relies on mining sequential patterns within individual sessions, which are not expressive enough to capture more complicated dependency relationships among items. In addition, it does not consider the cross-session information due to the anonymity of the session data, where the linkage between different sessions is prevented. In this paper, we solve these problems with the graph neural networks technique. First, each session is represented as a graph rather than a linear sequence structure, based on which a novel Full Graph Neural Network (FGNN) is proposed to learn complicated item dependency. To exploit and incorporate cross-session information in the individual sessions representation learning, we further construct a Broadly Connected Session (BCS) graph to link different sessions and a novel Mask-Readout function to improve session embedding based on the BCS graph. Extensive experiments have been conducted on two e-commerce benchmark datasets, i.e., Yoochoose and Diginetica, and the experimental results demonstrate the superiority of our proposal through comparisons with state-of-the-art session-based recommender models.

Session-based recommendation aims to predict user the next action based on historical behaviors in an anonymous session. For better recommendations, it is vital to capture user preferences as well as their dynamics. Besides, user preferences evolve o ver time dynamically and each preference has its own evolving track. However, most previous works neglect the evolving trend of preferences and can be easily disturbed by the effect of preference drifting. In this paper, we propose a novel Preference Evolution Networks for session-based Recommendation (PEN4Rec) to model preference evolving process by a two-stage retrieval from historical contexts. Specifically, the first-stage process integrates relevant behaviors according to recent items. Then, the second-stage process models the preference evolving trajectory over time dynamically and infer rich preferences. The process can strengthen the effect of relevant sequential behaviors during the preference evolution and weaken the disturbance from preference drifting. Extensive experiments on three public datasets demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed model.
