Abstract：In classification-based link prediction methods, it is difficult to choose reliable negative examples to construct the link prediction classifier due to the large-scale and uncertainty of the unknown node pairs. Therefore, a link prediction method based on positive and unlabeled(PU) learning is proposed. Firstly, topological information of node pairs is extracted to construct example sets. Secondly, distribution of candidate negative examples is determined by community structure, and several candidate negative example sets are obtained through multiple under-sampling based on the distribution. Then, the classifiers constructed from multiple negative example sets and positive example sets are integrated to select reliable negative examples. Finally, the link prediction classifier is constructed based on positive examples and reliable negative examples. Experiments on four datasets show that the proposed link prediction method produces better prediction results than other related methods.
