Abstract

With the emergence of service-oriented architecture, quality of service (QoS) has become a crucial factor in describing the non-functional characteristics of Web services. In the real world, the user only requests limited Web services, the QoS record of Web services is sparsity. In this paper, we propose an approach named factorization machine and multi-layer perceptron model based on embedding technology (EFMLP) to solve the problem of sparsity and high dimension. First, the input data will be sent to embedding layer to reduce the data dimension. Then, the embedded feature vector will send to the factorization machine. After that, the first-order and second-order weights of the factorization machine are used as the initial weights of the first layer of the multi-layer perceptron. And the multi-layer perceptron is trained to adjust the weights. Finally, 1,974,675 pieces of data from an open dataset is used as experiment data to validate the model, and the result shows that our EFMLP model can predict QoS value accurately on the client side.
