Predicting Anchor Links between Heterogeneous Social Networks
People usually get involved in multiple social networks to enjoy new services
or to fulfill their needs. Many new social networks try to attract users of
other existing networks to increase the number of their users. Once a user
(called source user) of a social network (called source network) joins a new
social network (called target network), a new inter-network link (called anchor
link) is formed between the source and target networks. In this paper, we
concentrated on predicting the formation of such anchor links between
heterogeneous social networks. Unlike conventional link prediction problems in
which the formation of a link between two existing users within a single
network is predicted, in anchor link prediction, the target user is missing and
will be added to the target network once the anchor link is created. To solve
this problem, we use meta-paths as a powerful tool for utilizing heterogeneous
information in both the source and target networks. To this end, we propose an
effective general meta-path-based approach called Connector and Recursive
Meta-Paths (CRMP). By using those two different categories of meta-paths, we
model different aspects of social factors that may affect a source user to join
the target network, resulting in the formation of a new anchor link. Extensive
experiments on real-world heterogeneous social networks demonstrate the
effectiveness of the proposed method against the recent methods.Comment: To be published in "Proceedings of the 2016 IEEE/ACM International

Probabilistic Approach to Structural Change Prediction in Evolving Social Networks
We propose a predictive model of structural
changes in elementary subgraphs of social network based on
Mixture of Markov Chains. The model is trained and verified
on a dataset from a large corporate social network analyzed
in short, one day-long time windows, and reveals distinctive
patterns of evolution of connections on the level of local
network topology. We argue that the network investigated in
such short timescales is highly dynamic and therefore immune
to classic methods of link prediction and structural analysis,
and show that in the case of complex networks, the dynamic
subgraph mining may lead to better prediction accuracy. The
experiments were carried out on the logs from the Wroclaw

Link Mining for Kernel-based Compound-Protein Interaction Predictions Using a Chemogenomics Approach
Virtual screening (VS) is widely used during computational drug discovery to
reduce costs. Chemogenomics-based virtual screening (CGBVS) can be used to
predict new compound-protein interactions (CPIs) from known CPI network data
using several methods, including machine learning and data mining. Although
CGBVS facilitates highly efficient and accurate CPI prediction, it has poor
performance for prediction of new compounds for which CPIs are unknown. The
pairwise kernel method (PKM) is a state-of-the-art CGBVS method and shows high
accuracy for prediction of new compounds. In this study, on the basis of link
mining, we improved the PKM by combining link indicator kernel (LIK) and
chemical similarity and evaluated the accuracy of these methods. The proposed
method obtained an average area under the precision-recall curve (AUPR) value
of 0.562, which was higher than that achieved by the conventional Gaussian
interaction profile (GIP) method (0.425), and the calculation time was only
increased by a few percent
BL-MNE: Emerging Heterogeneous Social Network Embedding through Broad Learning with Aligned Autoencoder
Network embedding aims at projecting the network data into a low-dimensional
feature space, where the nodes are represented as a unique feature vector and
network structure can be effectively preserved. In recent years, more and more
online application service sites can be represented as massive and complex
networks, which are extremely challenging for traditional machine learning
algorithms to deal with. Effective embedding of the complex network data into
low-dimension feature representation can both save data storage space and
enable traditional machine learning algorithms applicable to handle the network
data. Network embedding performance will degrade greatly if the networks are of
a sparse structure, like the emerging networks with few connections. In this
paper, we propose to learn the embedding representation for a target emerging
network based on the broad learning setting, where the emerging network is
aligned with other external mature networks at the same time. To solve the
problem, a new embedding framework, namely "Deep alIgned autoencoder based
eMbEdding" (DIME), is introduced in this paper. DIME handles the diverse link
and attribute in a unified analytic based on broad learning, and introduces the
multiple aligned attributed heterogeneous social network concept to model the
network structure. A set of meta paths are introduced in the paper, which
define various kinds of connections among users via the heterogeneous link and
attribute information. The closeness among users in the networks are defined as
the meta proximity scores, which will be fed into DIME to learn the embedding
vectors of users in the emerging network. Extensive experiments have been done
on real-world aligned social networks, which have demonstrated the
effectiveness of DIME in learning the emerging network embedding vectors.Comment: 10 pages, 9 figures, 4 tables. Full paper is accepted by ICDM 2017,
