Transfer Learning across Networks for Collective Classification
This paper addresses the problem of transferring useful knowledge from a
source network to predict node labels in a newly formed target network. While
existing transfer learning research has primarily focused on vector-based data,
in which the instances are assumed to be independent and identically
distributed, how to effectively transfer knowledge across different information
networks has not been well studied, mainly because networks may have their
distinct node features and link relationships between nodes. In this paper, we
propose a new transfer learning algorithm that attempts to transfer common
latent structure features across the source and target networks. The proposed
algorithm discovers these latent features by constructing label propagation
matrices in the source and target networks, and mapping them into a shared
latent feature space. The latent features capture common structure patterns
shared by two networks, and serve as domain-independent features to be
transferred between networks. Together with domain-dependent node features, we
thereafter propose an iterative classification algorithm that leverages label
correlations to predict node labels in the target network. Experiments on
real-world networks demonstrate that our proposed algorithm can successfully
achieve knowledge transfer between networks to help improve the accuracy of
classifying nodes in the target network.Comment: Published in the proceedings of IEEE ICDM 201
DEMON: a Local-First Discovery Method for Overlapping Communities
Community discovery in complex networks is an interesting problem with a
number of applications, especially in the knowledge extraction task in social
and information networks. However, many large networks often lack a particular
community organization at a global level. In these cases, traditional graph
partitioning algorithms fail to let the latent knowledge embedded in modular
structure emerge, because they impose a top-down global view of a network. We
propose here a simple local-first approach to community discovery, able to
unveil the modular organization of real complex networks. This is achieved by
democratically letting each node vote for the communities it sees surrounding
it in its limited view of the global system, i.e. its ego neighborhood, using a
label propagation algorithm; finally, the local communities are merged into a
global collection. We tested this intuition against the state-of-the-art
overlapping and non-overlapping community discovery methods, and found that our
new method clearly outperforms the others in the quality of the obtained
communities, evaluated by using the extracted communities to predict the
metadata about the nodes of several real world networks. We also show how our
method is deterministic, fully incremental, and has a limited time complexity,
so that it can be used on web-scale real networks.Comment: 9 pages; Proceedings of the 18th ACM SIGKDD International Conference

Self-Selective Correlation Ship Tracking Method for Smart Ocean System
In recent years, with the development of the marine industry, navigation
environment becomes more complicated. Some artificial intelligence
technologies, such as computer vision, can recognize, track and count the
sailing ships to ensure the maritime security and facilitates the management
for Smart Ocean System. Aiming at the scaling problem and boundary effect
problem of traditional correlation filtering methods, we propose a
self-selective correlation filtering method based on box regression (BRCF). The
proposed method mainly include: 1) A self-selective model with negative samples
mining method which effectively reduces the boundary effect in strengthening
the classification ability of classifier at the same time; 2) A bounding box
regression method combined with a key points matching method for the scale
prediction, leading to a fast and efficient calculation. The experimental
results show that the proposed method can effectively deal with the problem of
ship size changes and background interference. The success rates and precisions
were higher than Discriminative Scale Space Tracking (DSST) by over 8
percentage points on the marine traffic dataset of our laboratory. In terms of
processing speed, the proposed method is higher than DSST by nearly 22 Frames

Consistency Index-Based Sensor Fault Detection System for Nuclear Power Plant Emergency Situations Using an LSTM Network
A nuclear power plant (NPP) consists of an enormous number of components with complex interconnections. Various techniques to detect sensor errors have been developed to monitor the state of the sensors during normal NPP operation, but not for emergency situations. In an emergency situation with a reactor trip, all the plant parameters undergo drastic changes following the sudden decrease in core reactivity. In this paper, a machine learning model adopting a consistency index is suggested for sensor error detection during NPP emergency situations. The proposed consistency index refers to the soundness of the sensors based on their measurement accuracy. The application of consistency index labeling makes it possible to detect sensor error immediately and specify the particular sensor where the error occurred. From a compact nuclear simulator, selected plant parameters were extracted during typical emergency situations, and artificial sensor errors were injected into the raw data. The trained system successfully generated output that gave both sensor error states and error-free states
Attributed Network Embedding for Learning in a Dynamic Environment
Network embedding leverages the node proximity manifested to learn a
low-dimensional node vector representation for each node in the network. The
learned embeddings could advance various learning tasks such as node
classification, network clustering, and link prediction. Most, if not all, of
the existing works, are overwhelmingly performed in the context of plain and
static networks. Nonetheless, in reality, network structure often evolves over
time with addition/deletion of links and nodes. Also, a vast majority of
real-world networks are associated with a rich set of node attributes, and
their attribute values are also naturally changing, with the emerging of new
content patterns and the fading of old content patterns. These changing
characteristics motivate us to seek an effective embedding representation to
capture network and attribute evolving patterns, which is of fundamental
importance for learning in a dynamic environment. To our best knowledge, we are
the first to tackle this problem with the following two challenges: (1) the
inherently correlated network and node attributes could be noisy and
incomplete, it necessitates a robust consensus representation to capture their
individual properties and correlations; (2) the embedding learning needs to be
performed in an online fashion to adapt to the changes accordingly. In this
paper, we tackle this problem by proposing a novel dynamic attributed network
embedding framework - DANE. In particular, DANE first provides an offline
method for a consensus embedding and then leverages matrix perturbation theory
to maintain the freshness of the end embedding results in an online manner. We
perform extensive experiments on both synthetic and real attributed networks to
corroborate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed framework.Comment: 10 page
