Unsupervised Belief Representation Learning with Information-Theoretic Variational Graph Auto-Encoders
Jinning Li, Huajie Shao, Dachun Sun +6
This paper develops a novel unsupervised algorithm for belief representation learning in polarized networks that (i) uncovers the latent dimensions of the underlying belief space a…
DyDiff-VAE: A Dynamic Variational Framework for Information Diffusion Prediction
Ruijie Wang, Zijie Huang, Shengzhong Liu +7
This paper describes a novel diffusion model, DyDiff-VAE, for information diffusion prediction on social media. Given the initial content and a sequence of forwarding users, DyDiff…
The Paradox of Information Access: On Modeling Social-Media-Induced Polarization
Chao Xu, Jinyang Li, Tarek Abdelzaher +3
The paper develops a stochastic model of drift in human beliefs that shows that today's sheer volume of accessible information, combined with consumers' confirmation bias and natur…
Hierarchical Overlapping Belief Estimation by Structured Matrix Factorization
Chaoqi Yang, Jinyang Li, Ruijie Wang +6
Much work on social media opinion polarization focuses on a flat categorization of stances (or orthogonal beliefs) of different communities from media traces. We extend in this wor…
