- Description: Information dissemination matters, both on an individual and group level. For college students who are physically and mentally immature, they are more sensitive and susceptible to unnormal information like rumors. However, current researches focus on large-scale online message sharing networks like Facebook and Twitter, rather than profile the information dissemination on campus, which fail to provide any references for daily campus management. Against this background, we propose a framework to generate the information dissemination network on campus, named ANSWER (cAmpus iNformation diSsemination netWork gEneRation), based on multimodal data including behavior data, appearance data, and psychological data. The construction of the ANSWER is listed as four steps. First, we use a convolutional autoencoder to extract the students’ facial features. Second, we process the behavior data to construct a friendship network. Third, heterogeneous information is embedded in the low-dimensional vector space by using network representation learning to obtain embedding vectors. Fourth, we use the deep learning model to predict. The experiment results show that ANSWER outperforms other methods in multiple feature fusion and prediction of information dissemination relationship performance. © 2021, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

- Description: Metaphor plays an important role in human communication, which often conveys and evokes sentiments. Numerous approaches to sentiment analysis of metaphors have thus gained attention in natural language processing (NLP). The primary focus of these approaches is on linguistic features and text rather than other modal information and data. However, visual features such as facial expressions also play an important role in expressing sentiments. In this paper, we present a novel neural network approach to sentiment analysis of metaphorical expressions that combines both linguistic and visual features and refer to it as the multimodal model approach. For this, we create a Chinese dataset, containing textual data from metaphorical sentences along with visual data on synchronized facial images. The experimental results indicate that our multimodal model outperforms several other linguistic and visual models, and also outperforms the state-of-the-art methods. The contribution is realized in terms of novelty of the approach and creation of a new, sizeable, and scarce dataset with linguistic and synchronized facial expressive image data. The dataset is particularly useful in languages other than English and the approach addresses one of the most challenging NLP issue: sentiment analysis in metaphor. © 2021 IEEE.

- Description: Mental health is an integral part of human health and well-being. Unhealthy mentality leads to serious consequences such as self-mutilation and suicide, especially for college students. While the literature focused on analysing the relationship between mental health and a single factor such as personality or behavior, accurate prediction is yet to be achieved due to the lack of cross-dimensional analysis and multi-dimensional joint prediction. To this end, this work proposes leveraging multiple factors from three crucial dimensions of mental health: behaviors, personality, and social networks. We recruited 490 college students, and collected their behavioral records from smart cards. In addition, we extracted their psychological traits from questionnaires, and social networks by conducting the survey on the nominating community members. We created a neural network-based model to integrate behavioral, psychological, and social network factors to predict mental health problems. The experimental results verify the efficacy of the proposed model, and demonstrate that the classification model of various factors effectively predicts the students' mental issues. © 2021 IEEE.

- Description: Network representation learning (NRL) is a matter of importance to a variety of tasks such as link prediction. Learning low-dimensional vector representations for node enhancement based on nodes attributes and network structures can improve link prediction performance. Node attributes are important factors in forming networks, like psychological factors and appearance features affecting friendship networks. However, little to no work has detected friendship using the NRL technique, which combines students’ psychological features and perceived traits based on facial appearance. In this paper, we propose a framework named DEFINE (No enhancement based r e dship D tection) to detect students’ friend relationships, which combines with students’ psychological factors and facial perception information. To detect friend relationships accurately, DEFINE uses the NRL technique, which considers network structure and the additional attributes information for nodes. DEFINE transforms them into low-dimensional vector spaces while preserving the inherent properties of the friendship network. Experimental results on real-world friendship network datasets illustrate that DEFINE outperforms other state-of-art methods. © 2020, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

- Description: The failure of landing a job for college students could cause serious social consequences such as drunkenness and suicide. In addition to academic performance, unconscious biases can become one key obstacle for hunting jobs for graduating students. Thus, it is necessary to understand these unconscious biases so that we can help these students at an early stage with more personalized intervention. In this paper, we develop a framework, i.e., MAYA (Multi-mAjor emploYment stAtus) to predict students’ employment status while considering biases. The framework consists of four major components. Firstly, we solve the heterogeneity of student courses by embedding academic performance into a unified space. Then, we apply a generative adversarial network (GAN) to overcome the class imbalance problem. Thirdly, we adopt Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) with a novel dropout mechanism to comprehensively capture sequential information among semesters. Finally, we design a bias-based regularization to capture the job market biases. We conduct extensive experiments on a large-scale educational dataset and the results demonstrate the effectiveness of our prediction framework.
