如何优化我的PageRank计算?

标签: python sql optimization pagerank

在书Programming Collective Intelligence中,我找到了以下函数来计算PageRank:

def calculatepagerank(self,iterations=20):
    # clear out the current PageRank tables
    self.con.execute("drop table if exists pagerank")
    self.con.execute("create table pagerank(urlid primary key,score)")
    self.con.execute("create index prankidx on pagerank(urlid)")

    # initialize every url with a PageRank of 1.0
    self.con.execute("insert into pagerank select rowid,1.0 from urllist")
    self.dbcommit()

    for i in range(iterations):
        print "Iteration %d" % i
        for (urlid,) in self.con.execute("select rowid from urllist"):
            pr=0.15

            # Loop through all the pages that link to this one
            for (linker,) in self.con.execute("select distinct fromid from link where toid=%d" % urlid):
                # Get the PageRank of the linker
                linkingpr=self.con.execute("select score from pagerank where urlid=%d" % linker).fetchone()[0]

                # Get the total number of links from the linker
                linkingcount=self.con.execute("select count(*) from link where fromid=%d" % linker).fetchone()[0]

                pr+=0.85*(linkingpr/linkingcount)

            self.con.execute("update pagerank set score=%f where urlid=%d" % (pr,urlid))
        self.dbcommit()

但是,由于每次迭代中的所有SQL查询

,此函数非常慢

所以我优化了这个功能并提出了这个:

def calculatepagerank2(self,iterations=20):
    # clear out the current PageRank tables
    self.con.execute("drop table if exists pagerank")
    self.con.execute("create table pagerank(urlid primary key,score)")
    self.con.execute("create index prankidx on pagerank(urlid)")

    # initialize every url with a PageRank of 1.0
    self.con.execute("insert into pagerank select rowid,1.0 from urllist")
    self.dbcommit()

    inlinks={}
    numoutlinks={}
    pagerank={}

    for (urlid,) in self.con.execute("select rowid from urllist"):
        inlinks[urlid]=[]
        numoutlinks[urlid]=0
        # Initialize pagerank vector with 1.0
        pagerank[urlid]=1.0
        # Loop through all the pages that link to this one
        for (inlink,) in self.con.execute("select distinct fromid from link where toid=%d" % urlid):
            inlinks[urlid].append(inlink)
            # get number of outgoing links from a page        
            numoutlinks[urlid]=self.con.execute("select count(*) from link where fromid=%d" % urlid).fetchone()[0]            

    for i in range(iterations):
        print "Iteration %d" % i

        for urlid in pagerank:
            pr=0.15
            for link in inlinks[urlid]:
                linkpr=pagerank[link]
                linkcount=numoutlinks[link]
                pr+=0.85*(linkpr/linkcount)
            pagerank[urlid]=pr
    for urlid in pagerank:
        self.con.execute("update pagerank set score=%f where urlid=%d" % (pagerank[urlid],urlid))
    self.dbcommit()

此函数的速度要快很多倍(但对所有临时字典使用的内存要多得多),因为它避免了每次迭代中不必要的SQL查询:

但是是否有可能进一步减少SQL查询的数量以进一步加快功能? 更新:修复了calculatepagerank2()中的缩进。

4 个答案:

答案 0 :(得分:2)

如果你有一个非常大的数据库(例如WWW中的#records~#pages),那么使用数据库的方式与本书中建议的方式类似,因为你无法保留所有这些内存中的数据。

如果您的数据集足够小,您可以(可能)通过不执行这么多查询来改进您的第二个版本。尝试使用以下内容替换第一个循环:

for urlid, in self.con.execute('select rowid from urllist'):
    inlinks[urlid] = []
    numoutlinks[urlid] = 0
    pagerank[urlid] = 1.0

for src, dest in self.con.execute('select fromid, toid from link'):
    inlinks[dest].append(src)
    numoutlinks[src] += 1

此版本正好执行2次查询而不是O(n ^ 2)次查询。

答案 1 :(得分:1)

我相信大部分时间都花在了这些SQL查询上:

for (urlid,) in self.con.execute("select rowid from urllist"):
    ...
    for (inlink,) in self.con.execute("select distinct fromid from link where toid=%d" % urlid):
        ...
        numoutlinks[urlid]=self.con.execute("select count(*) from link where fromid=%d" % urlid).fetchone()[0]            

假设您有足够的内存,您可以将其减少到只有两个查询:

  1. SELECT fromid,toid FROM link WHERE toid IN (SELECT rowid FROM urllist)
  2. SELECT fromid,count(*) FROM link WHERE fromid IN (SELECT rowid FROM urllist) GROUP BY fromid

然后,您可以遍历结果并构建inlinksnumoutlinkspagerank

您也可以使用collections.defaultdict

import collections
import itertools
def constant_factory(value):
    return itertools.repeat(value).next

然后,inlinks成为集合的词典。集合是合适的 你只想要不同的网址

inlinks=collections.defaultdict(set)

这会使pagerank成为默认值为1.0的字典:

pagerank=collections.defaultdict(constant_factory(1.0))

使用collections.defaultdict的好处就在于你 不需要预先初始化dicts。

所以,放在一起,我建议看起来像这样:

import collections
def constant_factory(value):
    return itertools.repeat(value).next
def calculatepagerank2(self,iterations=20):
    # clear out the current PageRank tables
    self.con.execute("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS pagerank")
    self.con.execute("CREATE TABLE pagerank(urlid primary key,score)")
    self.con.execute("CREATE INDEX prankidx ON pagerank(urlid)")

    # initialize every url with a PageRank of 1.0
    self.con.execute("INSERT INTO pagerank SELECT rowid,1.0 FROM urllist")
    self.dbcommit()

    inlinks=collections.defaultdict(set)

    sql='''SELECT fromid,toid FROM link WHERE toid IN (SELECT rowid FROM urllist)'''
    for f,t in self.con.execute(sql):
        inlinks[t].add(f)

    numoutlinks={}
    sql='''SELECT fromid,count(*) FROM link WHERE fromid IN (SELECT rowid FROM urllist) GROUP BY fromid'''
    for f,c in self.con.execute(sql):
        numoutlinks[f]=c

    pagerank=collections.defaultdict(constant_factory(1.0))
    for i in range(iterations):
        print "Iteration %d" % i
        for urlid in inlinks:
            pr=0.15
            for link in inlinks[urlid]:
                linkpr=pagerank[link]
                linkcount=numoutlinks[link]
                pr+=0.85*(linkpr/linkcount)
            pagerank[urlid]=pr
    sql="UPDATE pagerank SET score=? WHERE urlid=?"
    args=((pagerank[urlid],urlid) for urlid in pagerank)
    self.con.executemany(sql, args)
    self.dbcommit()

答案 2 :(得分:0)

你有足够的RAM来保存某种形式的稀疏矩阵(fromid, toid)吗?这将允许大的优化(具有大的算法变化)。至少,在内存中缓存你最内层循环中(fromid, numlinks)所做的select count(*)应该会有所帮助(我想象那个缓存,是O(N)在太空中,如果你正在处理N网址,那么它更有可能适合记忆。)

答案 3 :(得分:0)

我正在回答我自己的问题,因为最终我发现所有答案的混合对我来说效果最好:

    def calculatepagerank4(self,iterations=20):
    # clear out the current PageRank tables
    self.con.execute("drop table if exists pagerank")
    self.con.execute("create table pagerank(urlid primary key,score)")
    self.con.execute("create index prankidx on pagerank(urlid)")

    # initialize every url with a PageRank of 1.0
    self.con.execute("insert into pagerank select rowid,1.0 from urllist")
    self.dbcommit()

    inlinks={}
    numoutlinks={}
    pagerank={}

    for (urlid,) in self.con.execute("select rowid from urllist"):
        inlinks[urlid]=[]
        numoutlinks[urlid]=0
        # Initialize pagerank vector with 1.0
        pagerank[urlid]=1.0

    for src,dest in self.con.execute("select distinct fromid, toid from link"):
        inlinks[dest].append(src)
        numoutlinks[src]+=1          

    for i in range(iterations):
        print "Iteration %d" % i

        for urlid in pagerank:
            pr=0.15
            for link in inlinks[urlid]:
                linkpr=pagerank[link]
                linkcount=numoutlinks[link]
                pr+=0.85*(linkpr/linkcount)
            pagerank[urlid]=pr

    args=((pagerank[urlid],urlid) for urlid in pagerank)
    self.con.executemany("update pagerank set score=? where urlid=?" , args)
    self.dbcommit() 

所以我按照allyourcode的建议替换了前两个循环,但另外还使用了˜unutbu解决方案中的executemany()。但与˜unutbu不同,我使用args的生成器表达式,不会浪费太多内存,尽管使用列表推导更快一些。最后,例行程序比书中提出的例程快100倍:

     1    0.000    0.000    0.000    0.000 {range}

还应该注意以下问题:

  1. 如果使用字符串格式化%f而不是使用占位符?来构造SQL语句,则会丢失精度(例如,使用?获得2.9796095721920315,使用{{1获得2.9796100000000001 }}。
  2. 从一个页面到另一个页面的重复链接仅被视为默认PageRank算法中的一个链接。然而,本书的解决方案没有考虑到这一点。
  3. 本书中的整个算法存在缺陷:原因是,在每次迭代中,pagerank分数不存储在第二个表中。但这意味着迭代的结果取决于循环的页面的顺序,这可能会在几次迭代之后彻底改变结果。要解决此问题,要么必须使用附加表/字典来存储下一次迭代的pagerank,要么使用完全不同的算法,如Power Iteration
