Probabilistic Latent Tensor Factorization Model for Link Pattern Prediction in Multi-relational Networks
This paper aims at the problem of link pattern prediction in collections of
objects connected by multiple relation types, where each type may play a
distinct role. While common link analysis models are limited to single-type
link prediction, we attempt here to capture the correlations among different
relation types and reveal the impact of various relation types on performance
quality. For that, we define the overall relations between object pairs as a
\textit{link pattern} which consists in interaction pattern and connection
structure in the network, and then use tensor formalization to jointly model
and predict the link patterns, which we refer to as \textit{Link Pattern
Prediction} (LPP) problem. To address the issue, we propose a Probabilistic
Latent Tensor Factorization (PLTF) model by introducing another latent factor
for multiple relation types and furnish the Hierarchical Bayesian treatment of
the proposed probabilistic model to avoid overfitting for solving the LPP
problem. To learn the proposed model we develop an efficient Markov Chain Monte
Carlo sampling method. Extensive experiments are conducted on several real
world datasets and demonstrate significant improvements over several existing
state-of-the-art methods.Comment: 19pages, 5 figure
Bayesian Robust Tensor Factorization for Incomplete Multiway Data
We propose a generative model for robust tensor factorization in the presence
of both missing data and outliers. The objective is to explicitly infer the
underlying low-CP-rank tensor capturing the global information and a sparse
tensor capturing the local information (also considered as outliers), thus
providing the robust predictive distribution over missing entries. The
low-CP-rank tensor is modeled by multilinear interactions between multiple
latent factors on which the column sparsity is enforced by a hierarchical
prior, while the sparse tensor is modeled by a hierarchical view of Student-
distribution that associates an individual hyperparameter with each element
independently. For model learning, we develop an efficient closed-form
variational inference under a fully Bayesian treatment, which can effectively
prevent the overfitting problem and scales linearly with data size. In contrast
to existing related works, our method can perform model selection automatically
and implicitly without need of tuning parameters. More specifically, it can
discover the groundtruth of CP rank and automatically adapt the sparsity
inducing priors to various types of outliers. In addition, the tradeoff between
the low-rank approximation and the sparse representation can be optimized in
the sense of maximum model evidence. The extensive experiments and comparisons
with many state-of-the-art algorithms on both synthetic and real-world datasets
demonstrate the superiorities of our method from several perspectives.Comment: in IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks and Learning Systems, 201
