A representation fusion model of multi-category hypergraphs for information propagation prediction
摘要
Information propagation prediction is a critical task for comprehending the propagation of information among users. Previous researches have faced significant challenges in the task of information propagation prediction, including the inadequate capture of higher-order interactions among users, an imbalance between broad contextual and fine-grained local relational information, and the insufficient integration of learned representations. To address these issues, we propose a Representation Fusion Model of Multi-Category Hypergraphs (RFMH) for predicting information propagation. Specifically, dynamic hypergraph, cascade hypergraph, and dependency hypergraph are constructed by using cascade sequences. Then a hypergraph attention network and a hypergraph convolution are used to learn the short-term influence representations of dynamic hypergraph and the long-term influence representations of cascade and dependency hypergraph, respectively. Additionally, two adjacent layers of graph convolutional networks are employed to learn the broad contextual information representation of the social network graph while preserving fine-grained local relational information. Furthermore, we implement a fusion method of multi-category representations based on a multi-head attention mechanism to nonlinearly fuse the learned representations. Experimental results on four real-world datasets demonstrate that the RFMH model improves Hits@k metrics by 0.48% to 7.87% and MAP@k metrics by 1.52% to 3.64%. Paired t-tests show statistically significant results of
