Coauthor prediction for junior researchers
Research collaboration can bring in different perspectives and generate more productive results. However, finding an appropriate collaborator can be difficult due to the lacking of sufficient information. Link prediction is a related technique for collaborator discovery; but its focus has been mostly on the core authors who have relatively more publications. We argue that junior researchers actually need more help in finding collaborators. Thus, in this paper, we focus on coauthor prediction for junior researchers. Most of the previous works on coauthor prediction considered global network feature and local network feature separately, or tried to combine local network feature and content feature. But we found a significant improvement by simply combing local network feature and global network feature. We further developed a regularization based approach to incorporate multiple features simultaneously. Experimental results demonstrated that this approach outperformed the simple linear combination of multiple features. We further showed that content features, which were proved to be useful in link prediction, can be easily integrated into our regularization approach. © 2013 Springer-Verlag
EEG-Based Emotion Recognition Using Regularized Graph Neural Networks
Electroencephalography (EEG) measures the neuronal activities in different
brain regions via electrodes. Many existing studies on EEG-based emotion
recognition do not fully exploit the topology of EEG channels. In this paper,
we propose a regularized graph neural network (RGNN) for EEG-based emotion
recognition. RGNN considers the biological topology among different brain
regions to capture both local and global relations among different EEG
channels. Specifically, we model the inter-channel relations in EEG signals via
an adjacency matrix in a graph neural network where the connection and
sparseness of the adjacency matrix are inspired by neuroscience theories of
human brain organization. In addition, we propose two regularizers, namely
node-wise domain adversarial training (NodeDAT) and emotion-aware distribution
learning (EmotionDL), to better handle cross-subject EEG variations and noisy
labels, respectively. Extensive experiments on two public datasets, SEED and
SEED-IV, demonstrate the superior performance of our model than
state-of-the-art models in most experimental settings. Moreover, ablation
studies show that the proposed adjacency matrix and two regularizers contribute
consistent and significant gain to the performance of our RGNN model. Finally,
investigations on the neuronal activities reveal important brain regions and
inter-channel relations for EEG-based emotion recognition

Hete-CF: Social-Based Collaborative Filtering Recommendation using Heterogeneous Relations
Collaborative filtering algorithms haven been widely used in recommender
systems. However, they often suffer from the data sparsity and cold start
problems. With the increasing popularity of social media, these problems may be
solved by using social-based recommendation. Social-based recommendation, as an
emerging research area, uses social information to help mitigate the data
sparsity and cold start problems, and it has been demonstrated that the
social-based recommendation algorithms can efficiently improve the
recommendation performance. However, few of the existing algorithms have
considered using multiple types of relations within one social network. In this
paper, we investigate the social-based recommendation algorithms on
heterogeneous social networks and proposed Hete-CF, a Social Collaborative
Filtering algorithm using heterogeneous relations. Distinct from the exiting
methods, Hete-CF can effectively utilize multiple types of relations in a
heterogeneous social network. In addition, Hete-CF is a general approach and
can be used in arbitrary social networks, including event based social
networks, location based social networks, and any other types of heterogeneous
information networks associated with social information. The experimental
results on two real-world data sets, DBLP (a typical heterogeneous information
network) and Meetup (a typical event based social network) show the
effectiveness and efficiency of our algorithm
