Heterogeneous information network (HIN), which contains various types of nodes and links, has been applied in recommender systems. Although HIN-based recommendation approaches perform better than the traditional recommendation approaches, they still have the following problems: for example, meta-paths are manually selected, not automatically; meta-path representations are rarely explicitly learned; and the global and local information of each node in HIN has not been simultaneously explored. To solve the above deficiencies, we propose a tri-attention neural network (TANN) model for recommendation task. The proposed TANN model applies the stud genetic algorithm to automatically select meta-paths at first. Then, it learns global and local representations of each node, as well as the representations of meta-paths existing in HIN. After that, a tri-attention mechanism is proposed to enhance the mutual influence among users, items, and their related meta-paths. Finally, the encoded interaction information among the user, the item, and their related meta-paths, which contain more semantic information can be used for recommendation task. Extensive experiments on the Douban Movie, MovieLens, and Yelp datasets have demonstrated the outstanding performance of the proposed approach.

Link prediction on heterogeneous information network (HIN) is considered as a challenge problem due to the complexity and diversity in types of nodes and links. Currently, there are remained challenges of meta-path-based link prediction in HIN. Previous works of link prediction in HIN via network embedding approach are mainly focused on exploiting features of node rather than existing relations in forms of meta-paths between nodes. In fact, predicting the existence of new links between non-linked nodes is absolutely inconvincible. Moreover, recent HIN-based embedding models also lack of thorough evaluations on the topic similarity between text-based nodes along given meta-paths. To tackle these challenges, in this paper, we proposed a novel approach of topic-driven multiple meta-path-based HIN representation learning framework, namely W-MMP2Vec. Our model leverages the quality of node representations by combining multiple meta-paths as well as calculating the topic similarity weight for each meta-path during the processes of network embedding learning in content-based HINs. To validate our approach, we apply W-TMP2Vec model in solving several link prediction tasks in both content-based and non-content-based HINs (DBLP, IMDB and BlogCatalog). The experimental outputs demonstrate the effectiveness of proposed model which outperforms recent state-of-the-art HIN representation learning models.

In MOOCs, generally speaking, curriculum designing, course selection, and knowledge concept recommendation are the three major steps that systematically instruct users to learn. This paper focuses on the knowledge concept recommendation in MOOCs, which recommends related topics to users to facilitate their online study. The existing approaches only consider the historical behaviors of users, but ignore various kinds of auxiliary information, which are also critical for user embedding. In addition, traditional recommendation models only consider the immediate user response to the recommended items, and do not explicitly consider the long-term interests of users. To deal with the above issues, this paper proposes AGMKRec, a novel reinforced concept recommendation model with a heterogeneous information network. We first clarify the concept recommendation in MOOCs as a reinforcement learning problem to offer a personalized and dynamic knowledge concept label list to users. To consider more auxiliary information of users, we construct a heterogeneous information network among users, courses, and concepts, and use a meta-path-based method which can automatically identify useful meta-paths and multi-hop connections to learn a new graph structure for learning effective node representations on a graph. Comprehensive experiments and analyses on a real-world dataset collected from XuetangX show that our proposed model outperforms some state-of-the-art methods.

Heterogeneous information network (HIN) are becoming popular across multiple applications in forms of complex large-scaled networked data such as social networks, bibliographic networks, biological networks, etc. Recently, information network embedding (INE) has aroused tremendously interests from researchers due to its effectiveness in information network analysis and mining tasks. From recent views of INE, community is considered as the mesoscopic preserving network’s structure which can be combined with traditional approach of network’s node proximities (microscopic structure preserving) to leverage the quality of network’s representation. Most of contemporary INE models, like as: HIN2Vec, Metapath2Vec, HINE, etc. mainly concentrate on microscopic network structure preserving and ignore the mesoscopic (intra-community) structure of HIN. In this paper, we introduce a novel approach of topic-driven meta-path-based embedding, namely W-Com2Vec (Weighted intra-community to vector). Our proposed W-Com2Vec model enables to capture richer semantic of node representation by applying the meta-path-based community-aware, node proximity preserving and topic similarity evaluation at the same time during the process of network embedding. We demonstrate comprehensive empirical studies on our proposed W-Com2Vec model with several real-world HINs. Experimental results show W-Com2Vec outperforms recent state-of-the-art INE models in solving primitive network analysis and mining tasks.

In this paper, we focus on graph representation learning of heterogeneous information network (HIN), in which various types of vertices are connected by various types of relations. Most of the existing methods conducted on HIN revise homogeneous graph embedding models via meta-paths to learn low-dimensional vector space of HIN. In this paper, we propose a novel Heterogeneous Graph Structural Attention Neural Network (HetSANN) to directly encode structural information of HIN without meta-path and achieve more informative representations. With this method, domain experts will not be needed to design meta-path schemes and the heterogeneous information can be processed automatically by our proposed model. Specifically, we implicitly represent heterogeneous information using the following two methods: 1) we model the transformation between heterogeneous vertices through a projection in low-dimensional entity spaces; 2) afterwards, we apply the graph neural network to aggregate multi-relational information of projected neighborhood by means of attention mechanism. We also present three extensions of HetSANN, i.e., voices-sharing product attention for the pairwise relationships in HIN, cycle-consistency loss to retain the transformation between heterogeneous entity spaces, and multi-task learning with full use of information. The experiments conducted on three public datasets demonstrate that our proposed models achieve significant and consistent improvements compared to state-of-the-art solutions.

As one of the major frauds in financial services, cash-out fraud is that users pursue cash gains with illegal or insincere means. Conventional solutions for the cash-out user detection are to perform subtle feature engineering for each user and then apply a classifier, such as GDBT and Neural Network. However, users in financial services have rich interaction relations, which are seldom fully exploited by conventional solutions. In this paper, with the real datasets in Ant Credit Pay of Ant Financial Services Group, we first study the cashout user detection problem and propose a novel hierarchical attention mechanism based cash-out user detection model, called HACUD. Specifically, we model different types of objects and their rich attributes and interaction relations in the scenario of credit payment service with an Attributed Heterogeneous Information Network (AHIN). The HACUD model enhances feature representation of objects through meta-path based neighbors exploiting different aspects of structure information in AHIN. Furthermore, a hierarchical attention mechanism is elaborately designed to model user’s preferences towards attributes and meta-paths. Experimental results on two real datasets show that the HACUD outperforms the state-of-the-art methods.

Abstract Recently, Graph Convolutional Neural Network (GCN) is widely used in text classification tasks, and has effectively completed tasks that are considered to have a rich relational structure. However, due to the sparse adjacency matrix constructed by GCN, GCN cannot make full use of context-dependent information in text classification, and cannot capture local information. The Bidirectional Encoder Representation from Transformers (BERT) has been shown to have the ability to capture the contextual information in a sentence or document, but its ability to capture global information about the vocabulary of a language is relatively limited. The latter is the advantage of GCN. Therefore, in this paper, Mutual Graph Convolution Networks (MGCN) is proposed to solve the above problems. It introduces semantic dictionary (WordNet), dependency and BERT. MGCN uses dependency to solve the problem of context dependence and WordNet to obtain more semantic information. Then the local information generated by BERT and the global information generated by GCN are interacted through the attention mechanism, so that they can influence each other and improve the classification effect of the model. The experimental results show that our model is more effective than previous research reports on three text classification data sets.
