Most existing methods either have low accuracies in downstream tasks or a very limited application field, such as article classification in citation networks. In this paper, we propose a novel network representation method, named Link Prediction based Network Representation (LPNR), which generalizes the latest graph neural network and optimizes a carefully designed objective function that preserves linkage structures. LPNR can not only learn meaningful node representations that achieve competitive accuracy in node centrality measurement and community detection but also achieve high accuracy in the link prediction task. Experiments prove the effectiveness of LPNR on three real-world networks. With the mini-batch and fixed sampling strategy, LPNR can learn the embedding of large graphs in a few hours.","PeriodicalId":67535,"journal":{"name":"社会计算(英文)","volume":"2 1","pages":"43-51"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.23919/JSC.2021.0001","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50426307","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To make a booking in these platforms, a user usually needs to select a city first, then browses among all the prospective options. To improve the user experience, understanding the zone preferences of a user's booking behavior will be helpful. In this work, we aim to predict the zone preferences of users when booking accommodations for the next travel. We have two main challenges: (1) The previous works about next information of Points Of Interest (POIs) recommendation are mainly focused on users' historical records in the same city, while in practice, the historical records of a user in the same city would be very sparse. (2) Since each city has its own specific geographical entities, it is hard to extract the structured geographical features of accommodation in different cities. Towards the difficulties, we propose DeepPredict, a zone preference prediction system. To tackle the first challenge, DeepPredict involves users' historical records in all the cities and uses a deep learning based method to process them. For the second challenge, DeepPredict uses HERE places API to get the information of POIs nearby, and processes the information with a unified way to get it. Also, the description of each accommodation might include some useful information, thus we use Sent2Vec, a sentence embedding algorithm, to get the embedding of accommodation description. Using a real-world dataset collected from Airbnb, DeepPredict can predict the zone preferences of users' next bookings with a remarkable performance. DeepPredict outperforms the state-of-the-art algorithms by 60% in macro F1-score.","PeriodicalId":67535,"journal":{"name":"社会计算(英文)","volume":"2 1","pages":"52-70"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/iel7/8964404/9355030/09355036.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50349902","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper attempts to realize a semi-supervised community detection of the VC network based on the data of VC networking and the list of industry leaders. The main research method is to design the initial label of community detection according to the evolution of components of the VC industry leaders. The results show that the community structure of the VC network has obvious distinguishing characteristics, and the aggregation of these communities is affected by the type of institution, the source of capital, the background of personnel, and the field of investment and the geographical position. Meanwhile, by comparing the results of the semi-supervised community detection algorithm with the results of community detection using extremal optimization, it can be shown to some extent that the semi-supervised community detection results in the VC network are more accurate and reasonable.","PeriodicalId":67535,"journal":{"name":"社会计算(英文)","volume":"2 1","pages":"27-42"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.23919/JSC.2020.0008","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50426306","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The concept of “software-defined sensors” emerged from these design discussions, opening new possibilities, such as stronger privacy protections and autonomous, adaptive measurements triggered by events or conditions.

The fashion industry has been attempting to cater to this trend by designing outfits that can enhance the appearance of slimness. Two anecdotal rules, widespread in the world of fashion, are to choose dark clothes and avoid horizontal stripes, in order to appear slim. Thus far, empirical evidence has been unable to conclusively determine the validity of these rules, and there is consequently much controversy regarding the impact of both color and patterns on the visual perception of weight. In this paper, we aim to close this gap by presenting the results from a series of large-scale crowdsourcing studies that investigate the above two claims. We gathered a dataset of around 1000 images of people from the Web together with their ground-truth weight and height as well as clothing attributes about colors and patterns. To elicit the effects of colors and patterns, we asked crowd workers to estimate the weight in each image. For the analysis, we controlled potential confounds by matching images in pairs where the two images differ with respect to color or pattern, but are similar with respect to other relevant aspects. We created image pairs in two ways: firstly, observationally, i.e., from two real images; and secondly, experimentally, by manipulating the color or pattern of clothing in a real image via photo editing. Based on our analysis, we conclude that dark clothes indeed decrease perceived weight slightly but statistically significantly, and horizontal stripes have no discernible effect compared to solid light-colored clothes. These results contribute to advancing the debate around the effect of specific clothing colors and patterns and thus provide empirical grounds for everyday fashion decisions. Moreover, our work gives an outlook on the vast opportunities of using crowd sourcing in the modern fashion industry.","PeriodicalId":67535,"journal":{"name":"社会计算(英文)","volume":"1 1","pages":"53-70"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.23919/JSC.2020.0006","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50349373","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
