However, within the intricate structure of fraud graphs, fraudsters usually camouflage themselves among a large number of benign entities. An effective solution to address the camouflage problem involves the incorporation of complex and abundant edge information. Nevertheless, existing GNN-based methods frequently neglect to integrate this crucial information into the message passing process, thereby limiting their efficacy. To address the above issues, this study proposes a novel Gated Edge-augmented Graph Neural Network(GE-GNN). Our approach begins with an edge-based feature augmentation mechanism that leverages both node and edge features within a single relation. Subsequently, we apply the augmented representation to the message passing process to update the node embeddings. Furthermore, we design a gate logistic to regulate the expression of augmented information. Finally, we integrate node features across different relations to obtain a comprehensive representation. Extensive experimental results on two real-world datasets demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms several state-of-the-art methods.","PeriodicalId":13106,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Big Data","volume":"11 4","pages":"1664-1676"},"PeriodicalIF":7.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144598065","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Achieving high-quality recommendation results necessitates excellent quality of input trajectory data. However, trajectories obtained from GPS-enabled devices often contain missing and erroneous data that is unevenly distributed over time and highly sparse, which significantly hampers the effectiveness spatiotemporal data analytics. Therefore, trajectory recovery plays an important role in spatiotemporal recommendation systems. The objective of trajectory recovery is to utilize historical trajectories to restore missing locations, providing high-quality data for spatiotemporal recommendation systems. The development of an effective trajectory recovery mechanism faces three major challenges: 1) Complex and multi-granularity transition patterns among different locations; 2) Difficulty in discovering spatio-temporal dependencies; and 3) Data sparsity and noise. To address these challenges, we propose an attentional model with spatio-temporal recurrent neural networks, ARMove, to recover human mobility from long and sparse trajectories. In ARMove, we first design a spatio-temporal weighted recurrent neural network to capture users’ long-term preferences. Next, we introduce a multi-granularity trajectory encoder to model complex transition patterns and multi-level periodicity of human mobility. An attention-based history aggregation module is proposed to leverage historical mobility information. Extensive evaluation results reveal that our model outperforms the state-of-the-art models, demonstrating its ability to reconstruct high-quality and fine-grained human mobility trajectories.","PeriodicalId":13106,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Big Data","volume":"11 4","pages":"1628-1639"},"PeriodicalIF":7.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144597721","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite demonstrating impressive capability in various open-domain tasks, their adequacy in highly specific fields like radiology remains untested. Radiology presents unique linguistic phenomena distinct from open-domain data due to its specificity and complexity. Assessing the performance of large language models (LLMs) in such specific domains is crucial not only for a thorough evaluation of their overall performance but also for providing valuable insights into future model design directions: whether model design should be generic or domain-specific. To this end, in this study, we evaluate the performance of ChatGPT/GPT-4 on a radiology natural language inference (NLI) task and compare it to other models fine-tuned specifically on task-related data samples. We also conduct a comprehensive investigation on ChatGPT/GPT-4’s reasoning ability by introducing varying levels of inference difficulty. Our results show that 1) ChatGPT and GPT-4 outperform other LLMs in the radiology NLI task and 2) other specifically fine-tuned Bert-based models require significant amounts of data samples to achieve comparable performance to ChatGPT/GPT-4. These findings not only demonstrate the feasibility and promise of constructing a generic model capable of addressing various tasks across different domains, but also highlight several key factors crucial for developing a unified model, particularly in a medical context, paving the way for future artificial general intelligence (AGI) systems.

Early detection and prevention of HF could significantly reduce its impact. We introduce a novel methodology for predicting HF risk using 12-lead electrocardiograms (ECGs). We present a novel, lightweight dual attention ECG network designed to capture complex ECG features essential for early HF risk prediction, despite the notable imbalance between low and high-risk groups. This network incorporates a cross-lead attention module and 12 lead-specific temporal attention modules, focusing on cross-lead interactions and each lead's local dynamics. To further alleviate model overfitting, we leverage a large language model (LLM) with a public ECG-Report dataset for pretraining on an ECG-Report alignment task. The network is then fine-tuned for HF risk prediction using two specific cohorts from the U.K. Biobank study, focusing on patients with hypertension (UKB-HYP) and those who have had a myocardial infarction (UKB-MI). The results reveal that LLM-informed pre-training substantially enhances HF risk prediction in these cohorts. The dual attention design not only improves interpretability but also predictive accuracy, outperforming existing competitive methods with C-index scores of 0.6349 for UKB-HYP and 0.5805 for UKB-MI.

To address this issue, this paper introduces a hierarchical multi-relational graph representation learning (HMGRL) approach. Within the framework of HMGRL, we leverage a wealth of drug-related heterogeneous data sources to construct heterogeneous graphs, where nodes represent drugs and edges denote clear and various associations. The relational graph convolutional network (RGCN) is employed to capture diverse explicit relationships between drugs from these heterogeneous graphs. Additionally, a multi-view differentiable spectral clustering (MVDSC) module is developed to capture multiple valuable implicit correlations between DPs. Within the MVDSC, we utilize multiple DP features to construct graphs, where nodes represent DPs and edges denote different implicit correlations. Subsequently, multiple DP representations are generated through graph cutting, each emphasizing distinct implicit correlations. The graph-cutting strategy enables our HMGRL to identify strongly connected communities of graphs, thereby reducing the fusion of irrelevant features. By combining every representation view of a DP, we create high-level DP representations for predicting DDIs. Two genuine datasets spanning three distinct tasks are adopted to gauge the efficacy of our HMGRL. Experimental outcomes unequivocally indicate that HMGRL surpasses several leading-edge methods in performance.","PeriodicalId":13106,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Big Data","volume":"11 3","pages":"961-975"},"PeriodicalIF":7.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143949322","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
