Influence Pathway Discovery on Social Media
Xinyi Liu, Ruijie Wang, Dachun Sun +13
This paper addresses influence pathway discovery, a key emerging problem in today's online media. We propose a discovery algorithm that leverages recently published work on unsuper…
Unsupervised Image Classification by Ideological Affiliation from User-Content Interaction Patterns
Xinyi Liu, Jinning Li, Dachun Sun +6
The proliferation of political memes in modern information campaigns calls for efficient solutions for image classification by ideological affiliation. While significant advances h…
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…
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…
