Background • Predictive Models • To predict in a formal and systematic way
Background • Factor graph model • Factor graph • A factorized function expressed by a bipartite graph, • Node: Parameter node and factor node, • Edge: Factor associating parameters. • Factor graph model • Belief propagation: message passing along edges.
Background • Factor graph model • Factor graph • A factorized function expressed by a bipartite graph, • Node: Parameter node and factor node, • Edge: Factor associating parameters. • Factor graph model • Belief propagation: message passing along edges. Advantages Easy to formulate complicated objective function. Easy to derive algorithm based on belief propagation. Easy to deploy on parallel or distributed system.
Example Problems • Outline supervision preference/relation; unsupervised behavior; supervised Predictive Models in Social Network Analysis Message Forwarding Prediction Representative User Finding take advantages of conventional textual and social information Social Context Summarization IR/NLP; supervised
Representative User Finding • Problem Definition For user , a representative user Social network In Out Relationship strength In
Representative User Finding • Modeling • Edge factor • Regional factor Social homophily Same representative Different representatives Avoid “leader without followers” Global constraint
Message Forwarding Prediction • Problem Definition In Social network Tweets In
Message Forwarding Prediction • Problem Definition In Social network (1)Will user uiretweet tweet mjafter reading it? (yij) (2)The spread range of a new m initiated by user u. Tweets Out In
Message Forwarding Prediction • Modeling • Local factor • Path constraint factor Sum-of-square error Collaborative decision with his/her followers and followees
Social Context Summarization • Problem Definition Social Context AugmentedNetwork Out In Important sentences/tweets Relationships between sentences, users, tweets Doc Social Context (tweets and users)
Social Context Summarization • Modeling Local factor Dependency factor
Social Context Summarization • Modeling Local factor Doc: Tweet: Cross: Similarity > threshold & Dependency factor
Experiments • Data Sets • Arnetminer, Twitter, Digg, News Websites (CNN/BBC/ESPN/MTV), Social Blog (Mashable). • Baseline methods • Unsupervised methods, logistic regression, CRF, SVM, etc. • Results show improvements over the baseline methods on those applications. • Details are omitted due to time limitation.
