Abstract Social network link prediction aims to predict future link relationships based on known network information, in which there are important applications for recommender systems and co-authorship networks. However, existing link prediction algorithms often ignore multi-evolutionary features of social networks and have high training time complexity, limiting their execution efficiency and application performance. To address these problems, a multi-evolutionary features based link prediction algorithm for social network(MEF-LP) is proposed. Firstly, a simple and efficient time extreme learning machine model is designed to transfer and aggregate the temporal information of social network snapshot sequences, using gated networks and extreme learning machine self-encoders. Secondly, multiple multilayer extreme learning machines are constructed to map temporal features from multiple perspectives, mining different evolutionary features of social networks and ultimately integrating them into comprehensive evolutionary features. Finally, the extreme learning machine-based classifiers are utilized to complete the link prediction. Experiments on six real social networks show that MEF-LP can reasonably learn the multi-evolution features of social networks and achieve better prediction performance.
