However, previous works identify human mobility patterns based on the spatial co-occurrence of trajectories, which ignores the effect of activity content, leaving challenges in effectively extracting and understanding patterns. To bridge this gap, this study incorporates the activity content of trajectories to extract human mobility patterns, and proposes acontent-aware mobility pattern model. The model first embeds the activity content in distributed continuous vector space by taking point-of-interest as an agent and then extracts representative and interpretable mobility patterns from human trajectory sets using a derived topic model. To investigate the performance of the proposed model, several evaluation metrics are developed, including pattern coherence, pattern similarity, and manual scoring. A real-world case study is conducted, and its experimental results show that the proposed model improves interpretability and helps to understand mobility patterns.

Based on the classical bounded confidence model, we extract the information quality variables and individual trust threshold and introduce them to construct our two-stage opinion evolution model.

With rapidly increasing data, load on cloud servers has increased in the cloud computing environment. With rapidly evolving technology, various cloud-based systems were developed to enhance the user experience. But, the increased online activities around the globe have also increased data load on the cloud-based systems. To maintain the efficiency and performance of the applications hosted in cloud servers, task scheduling has become very important. The task scheduling process helps in reducing the makespan time and average cost by scheduling the tasks to virtual machines (VMs). The task scheduling depends on assigning tasks to VMs to process the incoming tasks. The task scheduling should follow some algorithm for assigning tasks to VMs. Many researchers have proposed different scheduling algorithms for task scheduling in the cloud computing environment. In this article, an advanced form of the shuffled frog optimization algorithm, which works on the nature and behavior of frogs searching for food, has been proposed. The authors have introduced a new algorithm to shuffle the position of frogs in memeplex to obtain the best result. By using this optimization technique, the cost function of the central processing unit, makespan, and fitness function were calculated. The fitness function is the sum of the budget cost function and the makespan time. The proposed method helps in reducing the makespan time as well as the average cost by scheduling the tasks to VMs effectively. Finally, the performance of the proposed advanced shuffled frog optimization method is compared with existing task scheduling methods such as whale optimization-based scheduler (W-Scheduler), sliced particle swarm optimization (SPSO-SA), inverted ant colony optimization algorithm, and static learning particle swarm optimization (SLPSO-SA) in terms of average cost and metric makespan.

Link prediction based on Graph Neural Network (GNN) obtains node representation and graph structure through GNN, which has attracted a growing amount of attention recently. However, the existing GNN-based link prediction approaches possess some shortcomings. On the one hand, because a graph contains different types of nodes, it leads to a great challenge for aggregating information and learning node representation from its neighbor nodes. On the other hand, the attention mechanism has been an effect instrument for enhancing the link prediction performance. However, the traditional attention mechanism is always monotonic for query nodes, which limits its influence on link prediction. To address these two problems, a Dual-Path Graph Neural Network (DPGNN) for link prediction is proposed in this study. First, we propose a novel Local Random Features Augmentation for Graph Convolution Network as a baseline of one path. Meanwhile, Graph Attention Network version 2 based on dynamic attention mechanism is adopted as a baseline of the other path. And then, we capture more meaningful node representation and more accurate link features by concatenating the information of these two paths.
