DeepWalk: Online Learning of Social Representations
We present DeepWalk, a novel approach for learning latent representations of
vertices in a network. These latent representations encode social relations in
a continuous vector space, which is easily exploited by statistical models.
DeepWalk generalizes recent advancements in language modeling and unsupervised
feature learning (or deep learning) from sequences of words to graphs. DeepWalk
uses local information obtained from truncated random walks to learn latent
representations by treating walks as the equivalent of sentences. We
demonstrate DeepWalk's latent representations on several multi-label network
classification tasks for social networks such as BlogCatalog, Flickr, and
YouTube. Our results show that DeepWalk outperforms challenging baselines which
are allowed a global view of the network, especially in the presence of missing
information. DeepWalk's representations can provide scores up to 10%
higher than competing methods when labeled data is sparse. In some experiments,
DeepWalk's representations are able to outperform all baseline methods while
using 60% less training data. DeepWalk is also scalable. It is an online
learning algorithm which builds useful incremental results, and is trivially
parallelizable. These qualities make it suitable for a broad class of real
world applications such as network classification, and anomaly detection.Comment: 10 pages, 5 figures, 4 table
Statistically Significant Detection of Linguistic Change
We propose a new computational approach for tracking and detecting
statistically significant linguistic shifts in the meaning and usage of words.
Such linguistic shifts are especially prevalent on the Internet, where the
rapid exchange of ideas can quickly change a word's meaning. Our meta-analysis
approach constructs property time series of word usage, and then uses
statistically sound change point detection algorithms to identify significant
linguistic shifts.
We consider and analyze three approaches of increasing complexity to generate
such linguistic property time series, the culmination of which uses
distributional characteristics inferred from word co-occurrences. Using
recently proposed deep neural language models, we first train vector
representations of words for each time period. Second, we warp the vector
spaces into one unified coordinate system. Finally, we construct a
distance-based distributional time series for each word to track it's
linguistic displacement over time.
We demonstrate that our approach is scalable by tracking linguistic change
across years of micro-blogging using Twitter, a decade of product reviews using
a corpus of movie reviews from Amazon, and a century of written books using the
Google Book-ngrams. Our analysis reveals interesting patterns of language usage
change commensurate with each medium.Comment: 11 pages, 7 figures, 4 table
Consumer Adoption of Self-Service Technologies in the Context of the Jordanian Banking Industry: Examining the Moderating Role of Channel Types
YesThis study aimed to examine the key factors predicting Jordanian consumers’ intentions and
usage of three types of self-service banking technologies. This study also sought to test if the
impacts of these main predictors could be moderated by channel type. This study proposed a
conceptual model by integrating factors from the unified theory of acceptance and use of
technology (UTAUT), along with perceived risk. The required data were collected from a
convenience sample of Jordanian banking customers using a survey questionnaire. The
statistical results strongly support the significant influence of performance expectancy, social
influence, and perceived risk on customer intentions for the three types of SSTs examined. The
results of the X2 differences test also indicate that there are significant differences in the
influence of the main predictors due to the moderating effect of channel type. One of the key
contributions of this study is that three types of SSTs were tested in a single study, which had
not been done before, leading to the identification of the factors common to all three types, as
well as the salient factors unique to each type
