Link Prediction Plugin

[romanutti]

Link-prediction plugin for gephi, to predict future edges using different algorithms.

The following functionalities are supported:

• Creation of new edges through link prediction
• Filtering of those created edges per algorithm
• Evaluate quality of link prediction algorithms

The functionality of the plugin and the algorithms are described in detail in the README.

Hi @romanutti and thanks for the submission. Impressive addition! I made the following changes:

• Removed link-prediction.log file
• Removed Log4j and replaced with the Logger we use for the rest of Gephi. We prefer not to add any extra logging library.
• Adapted the tests to JUnit4 using the default JUnit we use for the rest of Gephi. Makes dependencies cleaner with minimal code differences.
• Removed the @Ignore annotation on PreferentialAttachmentStatisticsTest
• Removed *.iml files as we don't want IDE-specific files
• Made some minor optimisations removing unnecessary data structures creations
• Corrected how the filter panel is setting the property back to the filter -> this is important to make sure the UI updates accordingly
• Wrap the write lock into try/finally to make sure it gets unlocked in case of errors
• Wrapped the message dialog into SwingUtilities.invokeLater() so it runs on the proper Swing thread (as opposed to the filter thread)
• Removed the GEXF files in resources as they were not used

Let me know what you think, otherwise I don't see other immediate issues but I'll have a second lonk

@romanutti Ping!

Thanks a lot for wrapping that up! Quickly went through it - looks fine from my perspective 👍🏼 Should we give it a go?

Thanks! I've merged it and the plugin is now published: https://gephi.org/plugins/#/plugin/link-prediction

It's a great addition to Gephi!

Also, note that I've created a link-prediction-plugin branch in this repository. If you want you can directly make changes there and then do PRs against master-forge. I think it's easier than working on a fork but it's your call.

One minor is the "Invalid equation" error one can see on the README: https://gephi.org/plugins/#/plugin/link-prediction

Working at the branch will probably be easier.

And will also check the issue with the equations in the README.md 👍🏼
