Joint QoS prediction for Web services based on deep fusion of features

Abstract

In order to solve the problem of insufficient accuracy of Web service QoS prediction, a joint QoS prediction method for Web services based on the deep fusion of features was proposed with considering of the hidden environmental preference information in QoS and the common features of multi-class QoS.First, QoS data was modeled as a user-service bipartite graph and multi-component graph convolution neural network was used for feature extraction and mapping, and the weighted fusion method was used for the same dimensional mapping of multi-class of QoS features.Subsequently, the attention factor decomposition machine was used to extract the first-order features, second-order interactive features, and high-order interactive features of the mapped feature vector.Finally, the results of each part were combined to achieve the joint QoS prediction.The experimental results show that the proposed method is superior to the existing QoS prediction methods in terms of root mean square error (RMSE) and average absolute error (MAE).
