LATTE: Application Oriented Social Network Embedding
In recent years, many research works propose to embed the network structured
data into a low-dimensional feature space, where each node is represented as a
feature vector. However, due to the detachment of embedding process with
external tasks, the learned embedding results by most existing embedding models
can be ineffective for application tasks with specific objectives, e.g.,
community detection or information diffusion. In this paper, we propose study
the application oriented heterogeneous social network embedding problem.
Significantly different from the existing works, besides the network structure
preservation, the problem should also incorporate the objectives of external
applications in the objective function. To resolve the problem, in this paper,
we propose a novel network embedding framework, namely the "appLicAtion
orienTed neTwork Embedding" (Latte) model. In Latte, the heterogeneous network
structure can be applied to compute the node "diffusive proximity" scores,
which capture both local and global network structures. Based on these computed
scores, Latte learns the network representation feature vectors by extending
the autoencoder model model to the heterogeneous network scenario, which can
also effectively unite the objectives of network embedding and external
application tasks. Extensive experiments have been done on real-world
heterogeneous social network datasets, and the experimental results have
demonstrated the outstanding performance of Latte in learning the
representation vectors for specific application tasks.Comment: 11 Pages, 12 Figures, 1 Tabl
Discovering the Impact of Knowledge in Recommender Systems: A Comparative Study
Recommender systems engage user profiles and appropriate filtering techniques
to assist users in finding more relevant information over the large volume of
information. User profiles play an important role in the success of
recommendation process since they model and represent the actual user needs.
However, a comprehensive literature review of recommender systems has
demonstrated no concrete study on the role and impact of knowledge in user
profiling and filtering approache. In this paper, we review the most prominent
recommender systems in the literature and examine the impression of knowledge
extracted from different sources. We then come up with this finding that
semantic information from the user context has substantial impact on the
performance of knowledge based recommender systems. Finally, some new clues for
improvement the knowledge-based profiles have been proposed.Comment: 14 pages, 3 tables; International Journal of Computer Science &
