- Description: Recent years have witnessed a proliferation of graph representation techniques in social network analysis. Graph representation aims to map nodes in the graph into low-dimensional vector space while preserving as much information as possible. However, most existing methods ignore the robustness of learned latent vectors, which leads to inferior representation results due to sparse and noisy data in graphs. In this paper, we propose a novel framework, named A3Graph, which aims to improve the robustness and stability of graph representations. Specifically, we first construct an aggregation matrix by the combining positive point-wise mutual information matrix with the attribute matrix. Then, we enforce the autoencoder to reconstruct the aggregation matrix instead of the input attribute matrix. The enhancement autoencoder can incorporate structural and attributed information in a joint learning way to improve the noise-resilient during the learning process. Furthermore, an adversarial learning component is leveraged in our framework to impose a prior distribution on learned representations has been demonstrated as an effective mechanism in improving the robustness and stability in representation learning. Experimental studies on real-world datasets have demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed A3Graph. © 2021 ACM.

- Description: While scientific collaboration is critical for a scholar, some collaborators can be more significant than others, e.g., lifetime collaborators. It has been shown that lifetime collaborators are more influential on a scholar's academic performance. However, little research has been done on investigating predicting such special relationships in academic networks. To this end, we propose Scholar2vec, a novel neural network embedding for representing scholar profiles. First, our approach creates scholars' research interest vector from textual information, such as demographics, research, and influence. After bridging research interests with a collaboration network, vector representations of scholars can be gained with graph learning. Meanwhile, since scholars are occupied with various attributes, we propose to incorporate four types of scholar attributes for learning scholar vectors. Finally, the early-stage similarity sequence based on Scholar2vec is used to predict lifetime collaborators with machine learning methods. Extensive experiments on two real-world datasets show that Scholar2vec outperforms state-of-the-art methods in lifetime collaborator prediction. Our work presents a new way to measure the similarity between two scholars by vector representation, which tackles the knowledge between network embedding and academic relationship mining. © 2021 Association for Computing Machinery.

- Description: Natural language processing technologies, such as topic models, have been proven to be effective for scholarly recommendation tasks with the ability to deal with content information. Recently, venue recommendation is becoming an increasingly important research task due to the unprecedented number of publication venues. However, traditional methods focus on either the author's local network or author-venue similarity, where the multiple relationships between scholars and venues are overlooked, especially the venue-venue interaction. To solve this problem, we propose an author topic model-enhanced joint graph modeling approach that consists of venue topic modeling, venue-specific topic influence modeling, and scholar preference modeling. We first model the venue topic with Latent Dirichlet Allocation. Then, we model the venue-specific topic influence in an asymmetric and low-dimensional way by considering the topic similarity between venues, the top-influence of venues, and the top-susceptibility of venues. The top-influence characterizes venues' capacity of exerting topic influence on other venues. The top-susceptibility captures venues' propensity of being topically influenced by other venues. Extensive experiments on two real-world datasets show that our proposed joint graph modeling approach outperforms the state-of-The-Art methods. © 2020 ACM.

Moreover, the task scheduling and resource allocation strategy is formulated as a joint optimization problem to maximize users' Quality of Experience (QoE). Due to its complexity, the original problem is further divided into two sub-optimization problems.

- Description: This article elaborates how to identify and evaluate causal factors to improve scientific impact. Currently, analyzing scientific impact can be beneficial to various academic activities including funding application, mentor recommendation, discovering potential cooperators, and the like. It is universally acknowledged that high-impact scholars often have more opportunities to receive awards as an encouragement for their hard work. Therefore, scholars spend great efforts in making scientific achievements and improving scientific impact during their academic life. However, what are the determinate factors that control scholars' academic success? The answer to this question can help scholars conduct their research more efficiently. Under this consideration, our article presents and analyzes the causal factors that are crucial for scholars' academic success. We first propose five major factors including article-centered factors, author-centered factors, venue-centered factors, institution-centered factors, and temporal factors. Then, we apply recent advanced machine learning algorithms and jackknife method to assess the importance of each causal factor. Our empirical results show that author-centered and article-centered factors have the highest relevancy to scholars' future success in the computer science area. Additionally, we discover an interesting phenomenon that the h-index of scholars within the same institution or university are actually very close to each other. © 2020 ACM.

- Description: Finding both efficient and effective quantitative representations for scholars in scientific digital libraries has been a focal point of research. The unprecedented amounts of scholarly datasets, combined with contemporary machine learning and big data techniques, have enabled intelligent and automatic profiling of scholars from this vast and ever-increasing pool of scholarly data. Meanwhile, recent advance in network embedding techniques enables us to mitigate the challenges of large scale and sparsity of academic collaboration networks. In real-world academic social networks, scholars are accompanied with various attributes or features, such as co-authorship and publication records, which result in attributed collaboration networks. It has been observed that both network topology and scholar attributes are important in academic relationship mining. However, previous studies mainly focus on network topology, whereas scholar attributes are overlooked. Moreover, the influence of different scholar attributes are unclear. To bridge this gap, in this work, we present a novel framework of Attributed Collaboration Network Embedding (ACNE) for academic relationship mining. ACNE extracts four types of scholar attributes based on the proposed scholar profiling model, including demographics, research, influence, and sociability. ACNE can learn a low-dimensional representation of scholars considering both scholar attributes and network topology simultaneously. We demonstrate the effectiveness and potentials of ACNE in academic relationship mining by performing collaborator recommendation on two real-world datasets and the contribution and importance of each scholar attribute on scientific collaborator recommendation is investigated. Our work may shed light on academic relationship mining by taking advantage of attributed collaboration network embedding. © 2020 ACM.

We construct a heterogeneous scholarly network to facilitate the exploring of the behavior of career moves and the recommendation of institutions for scholars. We devise an unsupervised learning model called HAI (Heterogeneous graph Attention InfoMax) which aggregates attention mechanism and mutual information for institution recommendation. Moreover, we propose scholar attention and meta-path attention to discover the hidden relationships between several meta-paths. With these mechanisms, HAI provides ordered recommendations with explainability. We evaluate HAI upon a real-world dataset against baseline methods.

- Description: Data explosion in the information society drives people to develop more effective ways to extract meaningful information. Extracting semantic information and relational information has emerged as a key mining primitive in a wide variety of practical applications. Existing research on relation mining has primarily focused on explicit connections and ignored underlying information, e.g., the latent entity relations. Exploring such information (defined as implicit relationships in this article) provides an opportunity to reveal connotative knowledge and potential rules. In this article, we propose a novel research topic, i.e., how to identify implicit relationships across heterogeneous networks. Specially, we first give a clear and generic definition of implicit relationships. Then, we formalize the problem and propose an efficient solution, namely MIRROR, a graph convolutional network (GCN) model to infer implicit ties under explicit connections. MIRROR captures rich information in learning node-level representations by incorporating attributes from heterogeneous neighbors. Furthermore, MIRROR is tolerant of missing node attribute information because it is able to utilize network structure. We empirically evaluate MIRROR on four different genres of networks, achieving state-of-the-art performance for target relations mining. The underlying information revealed by MIRROR contributes to enriching existing knowledge and leading to novel domain insights. © 2023 Association for Computing Machinery.

- Description: Predicting traffic accidents can help traffic management departments respond to sudden traffic situations promptly, improve drivers' vigilance, and reduce losses caused by traffic accidents. However, the causality of traffic accidents is complex and difficult to analyze. Most existing traffic accident prediction methods do not consider the dynamic spatio-temporal correlation of traffic data, which leads to unsatisfactory prediction accuracy. To address this issue, we propose a multi-task learning framework (TAP) based on the Spatio-temporal Variational Graph Auto-Encoders (ST-VGAE) for traffic accident profiling. We firstly capture the dynamic spatio-temporal correlation of traffic conditions through a spatio-temporal graph convolutional encoder and embed it as a low-latitude vector. Then, we use a multi-task learning scheme to combine external factors to generate the traffic accident profiling. Furthermore, we propose a traffic accident profiling application framework based on edge computing. This method increases the speed of calculation by offloading the calculation of traffic accident profiling to edge nodes. Finally, the experimental results on real datasets demonstrate that TAP outperforms other state-of-the-art baselines. © 2023 Copyright held by the owner/author(s). Publication rights licensed to ACM.
