- Description: Scientific collaboration is a significant behavior in knowledge creation and idea exchange. To tackle large and complex research questions, a trend of team formation has been observed in recent decades. In this study, we focus on recognizing collaborative teams and exploring inner patterns using scholarly big graph data. We propose a collaborative team recognition (CORE) model with a "core + extension"team structure to recognize collaborative teams in large academic networks. In CORE, we combine an effective evaluation index called the collaboration intensity index with a series of structural features to recognize collaborative teams in which members are in close collaboration relationships. Then, CORE is used to guide the core team members to their extension members. CORE can also serve as the foundation for team-based research. The simulation results indicate that CORE reveals inner patterns of scientific collaboration: senior scholars have broad collaborative relationships and fixed collaboration patterns, which are the underlying mechanisms of team assembly. The experimental results demonstrate that CORE is promising compared with state-of-the-art methods. © 2022 Elsevier Ltd.

- Description: Motifs have been recognized as basic network blocks and are found to be quite powerful in modeling certain patterns. Generally speaking, local characteristics of big networks could be reflected in network motifs. Over the years, motifs have attracted a lot of attention from researchers. However, most current literature reviews on motifs generally focus on the field of biological science. In contrast, here we try to present a comprehensive survey on motifs in the context of big networks. We introduce the definition of motifs and other related concepts. Big networks with motif-based structures are analyzed. Specifically, we respectively analyze four kinds of networks, including biological networks, social networks, academic networks, and infrastructure networks. We then examine methods for motif discovery, motif counting, and motif clustering. The applications of motifs in different areas have also been reviewed. Finally, some challenges and open issues in this direction are discussed. © 2013 IEEE.

- Description: Relations in knowledge graphs have rich relational structures and various binary relational patterns. Various relation modelling strategies are proposed for embedding knowledge graphs, but they fail to fully capture both features of relations, rich relational structures and various binary relational patterns. To address the problem of insufficient embedding due to the complexity of the relations, we propose a novel knowledge graph representation model in complex space, namely MARS, to exploit complex relations to embed knowledge graphs. MARS takes the mechanisms of complex numbers and message-passing and then embeds triplets into relation-specific complex hyperplanes. Thus, MARS can well preserve various relation patterns, as well as structural information in knowledge graphs. In addition, we find that the scores generated from the score function approximate a Gaussian distribution. The scores in the tail cannot effectively represent triplets. To address this particular issue and improve the precision of embeddings, we use the standard deviation to limit the dispersion of the score distribution, resulting in more accurate embeddings of triplets. Comprehensive experiments on multiple benchmarks demonstrate that our model significantly outperforms existing state-of-the-art models for link prediction and triple classification. © 2022 by the authors.

- Description: Graph neural networks (GNNs) have demonstrated a remarkable ability in the task of semi-supervised node classification. However, most existing GNNs suffer from the nonrobustness issues, which poses a great challenge for applying GNNs into sensitive scenarios. Some researchers concentrate on constructing an ensemble model to mitigate the nonrobustness issues. Nevertheless, these methods ignore the interaction among base models, leading to similar graph representations. Moreover, due to the deterministic propagation applied in most existing GNNs, each node highly relies on its neighbors, leaving the nodes to be sensitive to perturbations. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a novel framework of graph ensemble learning based on knowledge passing (called GEL) to address the above issues. In order to achieve interaction, we consider the predictions of prior models as knowledge to obtain more reliable predictions. Moreover, we design a multilayer DropNode propagation strategy to reduce each node’s dependence on particular neighbors. This strategy also empowers each node to aggregate information from diverse neighbors, alleviating oversmoothing issues. We conduct experiments on three benchmark datasets, including Cora, Citeseer, and Pubmed. GEL outperforms GCN by more than 5% in terms of accuracy across all three datasets and also performs better than other state-of-the-art baselines. Extensive experimental results also show that the GEL alleviates the nonrobustness and oversmoothing issues. © 2022 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland.
