Signed network embedding is an approach to learn low-dimensional representations of nodes in signed networks with both positive and negative links, which facilitates downstream tasks such as link prediction with general data mining frameworks. Due to the distinct properties and significant added value of negative links, existing signed network embedding methods usually design dedicated methods based on social theories such as balance theory and status theory. However, existing signed network embedding methods ignore the characteristics of multiple facets of each node and mix them up in one single representation, which limits the ability to capture the fine-grained attentions between node pairs. In this paper, we propose MUSE, a MUlti-faceted attention-based Signed network Embedding framework to tackle this problem. Specifically, a joint intra- and inter-facet attention mechanism is introduced to aggregate fine-grained information from neighbor nodes. Moreover, balance theory is also utilized to guide information aggregation from multi-order balanced and unbalanced neighbors. Experimental results on four real-world signed network datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed framework.

Signed networks are mathematical structures that encode positive and negative relations between entities such as friend/foe or trust/distrust. Recently, several papers studied the construction of useful low-dimensional representations (embeddings) of these networks for the prediction of missing relations or signs. Existing embedding methods for sign prediction generally enforce different notions of status or balance theories in their optimization function. These theories, however, are often inaccurate or incomplete, which negatively impacts method performance. In this context, we introduce conditional signed network embedding (CSNE). Our probabilistic approach models structural information about the signs in the network separately from fine-grained detail. Structural information is represented in the form of a prior, while the embedding itself is used for capturing fine-grained information. These components are then integrated in a rigorous manner. CSNEs accuracy depends on the existence of sufficiently powerful structural priors for modelling signed networks, currently unavailable in the literature. Thus, as a second main contribution, which we find to be highly valuable in its own right, we also introduce a novel approach to construct priors based on the Maximum Entropy (MaxEnt) principle. These priors can model the emph{polarity} of nodes (degree to which their links are positive) as well as signed emph{triangle counts} (a measure of the degree structural balance holds to in a network). Experiments on a variety of real-world networks confirm that CSNE outperforms the state-of-the-art on the task of sign prediction. Moreover, the MaxEnt priors on their own, while less accurate than full CSNE, achieve accuracies competitive with the state-of-the-art at very limited computational cost, thus providing an excellent runtime-accuracy trade-off in resource-constrained situations.
Node representation learning for signed directed networks has received considerable attention in many real-world applications such as link sign prediction, node classification and node recommendation. The challenge lies in how to adequately encode th e complex topological information of the networks. Recent studies mainly focus on preserving the first-order network topology which indicates the closeness relationships of nodes. However, these methods generally fail to capture the high-order topology which indicates the local structures of nodes and serves as an essential characteristic of the network topology. In addition, for the first-order topology, the additional value of non-existent links is largely ignored. In this paper, we propose to learn more representative node embeddings by simultaneously capturing the first-order and high-order topology in signed directed networks. In particular, we reformulate the representation learning problem on signed directed networks from a variational auto-encoding perspective and further develop a decoupled variational embedding (DVE) method. DVE leverages a specially designed auto-encoder structure to capture both the first-order and high-order topology of signed directed networks, and thus learns more representative node embedding. Extensive experiments are conducted on three widely used real-world datasets. Comprehensive results on both link sign prediction and node recommendation task demonstrate the effectiveness of DVE. Qualitative results and analysis are also given to provide a better understanding of DVE.
False information detection on social media is challenging as it commonly requires tedious evidence-collecting but lacks available comparative information. Clues mined from user comments, as the wisdom of crowds, could be of considerable benefit to t his task. However, it is non-trivial to capture the complex semantics from the contents and comments in consideration of their implicit correlations. Although deep neural networks have good expressive power, one major drawback is the lack of explainability. In this paper, we focus on how to learn from the post contents and related comments in social media to understand and detect the false information more effectively, with explainability. We thus propose a Quantum-probability based Signed Attention Network (QSAN) that integrates the quantum-driven text encoding and a novel signed attention mechanism in a unified framework. QSAN is not only able to distinguish important comments from the others, but also can exploit the conflicting social viewpoints in the comments to facilitate the detection. Moreover, QSAN is advantageous with its explainability in terms of transparency due to quantum physics meanings and the attention weights. Extensive experiments on real-world datasets show that our approach outperforms state-of-the-art baselines and can provide different kinds of user comments to explain why a piece of information is detected as false.

Attributed networks are ubiquitous since a network often comes with auxiliary attribute information e.g. a social network with user profiles. Attributed Network Embedding (ANE) has recently attracted considerable attention, which aims to learn unifie d low dimensional node embeddings while preserving both structural and attribute information. The resulting node embeddings can then facilitate various network downstream tasks e.g. link prediction. Although there are several ANE methods, most of them cannot deal with incomplete attributed networks with missing links and/or missing node attributes, which often occur in real-world scenarios. To address this issue, we propose a robust ANE method, the general idea of which is to reconstruct a unified denser network by fusing two sources of information for information enhancement, and then employ a random walks based network embedding method for learning node embeddings. The experiments of link prediction, node classification, visualization, and parameter sensitivity analysis on six real-world datasets validate the effectiveness of our method to incomplete attributed networks.

Network representation learning (NRL) plays a vital role in a variety of tasks such as node classification and link prediction. It aims to learn low-dimensional vector representations for nodes based on network structures or node attributes. While em bedding techniques on complete networks have been intensively studied, in real-world applications, it is still a challenging task to collect complete networks. To bridge the gap, in this paper, we propose a Deep Incomplete Network Embedding method, namely DINE. Specifically, we first complete the missing part including both nodes and edges in a partially observable network by using the expectation-maximization framework. To improve the embedding performance, we consider both network structures and node attributes to learn node representations. Empirically, we evaluate DINE over three networks on multi-label classification and link prediction tasks. The results demonstrate the superiority of our proposed approach compared against state-of-the-art baselines.
