How to set the value of epoch count ? #14

Hello Authors,

I was going through the VERSE paper and code. I am curious about one parameter 'n_epochs'. The value for this parameter is '100000' as per the Experiments in the paper, and also in the code. Is there any specific reason for using this value, or can i reduce this value when working with a bigger graph (with around 1 Million nodes).

It would be kind enough, if you can please elaborate this.

Regards, Sidhant

This value is a reasonable default, right now there is no way to monitor the convergence, unfortunately. I would suggest to keep it as is, as I did not do experiments with lowering that.
