Social bots are referred to as the automated accounts on social networks that make attempts to behave like human. While Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) has been massively applied to the field of social bot detection, a huge amount of domain expertise and prior knowledge is heavily engaged in the state-of-the art approaches to design a dedicated neural network architecture for a specific classification task. Involving oversized nodes and network layers in the model design, however, usually causes the over-smoothing problem and the lack of embedding discrimination. In this paper, we propose RoSGAS , a novel R einf o rced and S elf-supervised G NN A rchitecture S earch framework to adaptively pinpoint the most suitable multi-hop neighborhood and the number of layers in the GNN architecture. More specifically, we consider the social bot detection problem as a user-centric subgraph embedding and classification task. We exploit heterogeneous information network to present the user connectivity by leveraging account metadata, relationships, behavioral features and content features. RoSGAS uses a multi-agent deep reinforcement learning (RL) mechanism for navigating the search of optimal neighborhood and network layers to learn individually the subgraph embedding for each target user. A nearest neighbor mechanism is developed for accelerating the RL training process, and RoSGAS can learn more discriminative subgraph embedding with the aid of self-supervised learning. Experiments on 5 Twitter datasets show that RoSGAS outperforms the state-of-the-art approaches in terms of accuracy, training efficiency and stability, and has better generalization when handling unseen samples.
Aiming at the problems of inaccurate recommendation and single consideration in the traditional Points of Interest (POI) recommendation model, a POI Recommendation System using Hypergraph Embedding and Logical Matrix Factorization (HE-LMF) has been proposed. The user's check-in points of interest and time information are sampled by hypergraph embedding technology, and users with similar points of interest to the target user are found, and their points of interest are recommended to the target user. At the same time, through the geographic recommendation model based on logical matrix decomposition, the regions with many user check-in times and the correlation of each region are considered. The results of the two models are weighted, and top-k is selected to recommend to the user. Finally, experiments are carried out on the two datasets of gowalla and foursquare, and compared with the three models USG, PFMMGM and LRT. The experimental results show that the HE-LMF algorithm can effectively improve the accuracy and recall rate of POI recommendation.
Most of the traditional recommendation algorithm models are recommended based on the user's own historical preferences, although it can recommend POI for users to a certain extent. But in real life, people are more willing to ask their friends what they think when they have a difficult decision. Therefore, a word2vec-based social relationship point of interest recommendation model (W-SimTru) is proposed, which combines the similarity of friends based on cosine similarity with the friend trust recommendation algorithm based on TF-IDF to improve the model recommendation effect. In addition, before modeling the similarity of users, word2vec is used to process the user's historical check-in behavior to solve the problem of inaccurate recommendation due to sparse check-in data. Finally, experiments are carried out on three datasets of Los Angeles, Washington and NYC in Gowalla, and the experimental results show that the proposed W-SimTru recommendation algorithm outperforms the algorithms of the three comparative experiments.
