2025 Integrating Large Language Models and Möbius Group Transformations for Temporal Knowledge Graph Embedding on the Riemann Sphere
abstract
The significance of Temporal Knowledge Graphs (TKGs) in Artificial Intelligence (AI) lies in their capacity to incorporate time-dimensional information, support complex reasoning and prediction, optimize decision-making processes, enhance the accuracy of recommendation systems, promote multimodal data integration, and strengthen knowledge management and updates. This provides a robust foundation for various AI applications. To effectively learn and apply both static and dynamic temporal patterns for reasoning, a range of embedding methods and large language models (LLMs) have been proposed in the literature. However, these methods often rely on a single underlying embedding space, whose geometric properties severely limit their ability to model intricate temporal patterns, such as hierarchical and ring structures. To address this limitation, this paper proposes embedding TKGs into projective geometric space and leverages LLMs technology to extract crucial temporal node information, thereby constructing the 5EL model. By embedding TKGs into projective geometric space and utilizing Möbius Group transformations, we effectively model various temporal patterns. Subsequently, LLMs technology is employed to process the trained TKGs. We adopt a parameter-efficient fine-tuning strategy to align LLMs with specific task requirements, thereby enhancing the model's ability to recognize structural information of key nodes in historical chains and enriching the representation of central entities. Experimental results on five advanced TKG datasets demonstrate that our proposed 5EL model significantly outperforms existing models.

2025 Retrieval-Augmented Multilingual Citation Generation
abstract
Retrieval-augmented citation generation (RACG) helps users trust the large language model output by retrieving evidence from reliable sources. However, most current RACG research focuses on single-language tasks, particularly in English, and overlooks the need for cross-lingual evidence retrieval and utilization in real-world applications. To address this issue, we introduce a plug-and-play Retrieval-Augmented Multilingual Citation Generation method (RAMCG) which uses a multilingual retriever to identify relevant evidence from a multilingual knowledge base. The evidence is then combined with the query and processed by a multilingual citation generator. The result is citations that are both accurate and comprehensive. Experiments show that RAMCG outperforms baseline methods in multilingual citation generation and is well-suited for practical use.

2025 When Sparse Graph Representation Learning Falls into Domain Shift: Feature Augmentation for Cross-Domain Graph Meta-Learning
abstract
Graph Meta-learning methods have improved the performance of few-shot node classification by means of applying meta-learning to the data in non-Euclidean domains. However, most works focus on adopting a single domain, ignoring the fact that tasks in various domains may be distinct, which can cause overfitting problems and thus limit generalizability. To tackle this challenge, we propose a novel Graph Meta-learning framework called Feature-Enhanced Cross-domain Graph Meta-learning that consists of two crucial modules: 1) A feature information extraction module that aims to capture discriminative node importance and simulate various node feature distributions under distinct domains; 2) A heterogeneous graph encoder module that leverages the enhanced node features and topological information to generate task-specific node embeddings with simple fine-tuning. Moreover, we meta-learn the parameters involved to ensure the generalizability in the unseen domains. Results show that our method markedly outperforms the existing state-of-the-art methods.

2024 When Sparse Graph Representation Learning Falls into Domain Shift: Data Augmentation for Cross-Domain Graph Meta-Learning (Student Abstract)
abstract
Cross-domain Graph Meta-learning (CGML) has shown its promise, where meta-knowledge is extracted from few-shot graph data in multiple relevant but distinct domains. However, several recent efforts assume target data available, which commonly does not established in practice. In this paper, we devise a novel Cross-domain Data Augmentation for Graph Meta-Learning (CDA-GML), which incorporates the superiorities of CGML and Data Augmentation, has addressed intractable shortcomings of label sparsity, domain shift, and the absence of target data simultaneously. Specifically, our method simulates instance-level and task-level domain shift to alleviate the cross-domain generalization issue in conventional graph meta-learning. Experiments show that our method outperforms the existing state-of-the-art methods.

2024 Biomedical Knowledge Graph Embedding with Householder Projection (Student Abstract)
abstract
Researchers have applied knowledge graph embedding (KGE) techniques with advanced neural network techniques, such as capsule networks, for predicting drug-drug interactions (DDIs) and achieved remarkable results. However, most ignore molecular structure and position features between drug pairs. They cannot model the biomedical field's significant relational mapping properties (RMPs,1-N, N-1, N-N) relation. To solve these problems, we innovatively propose CDHse that consists of two crucial modules: 1) Entity embedding module, we obtain position feature obtained by PubMedBERT and Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), obtain molecular structure feature with Graphic Nuaral Network (GNN), obtain entity embedding feature of drug pairs, and then incorporate these features into one synthetic feature. 2) Knowledge graph embedding module, the synthetic feature is Householder projections and then embedded in the complex vector space for training. In this paper, we have selected several advanced models for the DDIs task and performed experiments on three standard BioKG to validate the effectiveness of CDHse.

2023 A Multi-scale Interaction Motion Network for Action Recognition Based on Capsule Network
abstract
Recently, action recognition has achieved impressive performance, mainly due to the aid of deep convolutional neural networks and large datasets. Traditionally, most efforts in action recognition have focused on capturing motion information by dense optical flow, but optical flow extraction is very time-consuming. Moreover, prior arts seek to improve accuracy but neglect the part-whole relationship between objects in videos, which may be self-defeating and even deteriorate the performance of methods. To circumvent the above challenges, we present a novel collaborative multipath capsule network (CMCN) for action recognition. In particular, we propose a plug-and-play collaborative multipath block containing spatiotemporal, channel, and motion units, which are complementary and crucial information for action recognition. We exploit the interaction of these three units and selectively emphasize informative spatial-temporal motion to reduce the expensive computational costs. Subsequently, we explore a new capsule voting procedure to reduce the computation used in the capsule dynamic routing mechanism. The critical insight is that the same type of capsules simulates the same entity in different positions, and their voting results should be consistent. This strategy lessens the number of learning parameters that backward pass in the training process, and thus strengthens part-whole relationships in a video. Extensive experiments on multiple real-world datasets for action recognition demonstrate that our model significantly outperforms state-of-the-art models.

2023 Dual-aware Domain Mining and Cross-aware Supervision for Weakly-supervised Semantic Segmentation
abstract
Weakly Supervised Semantic Segmentation with image-level annotation uses localization maps from the classifier to generate pseudo labels. However, such localization maps focus only on sparse salient object regions, it is difficult to generate high-quality segmentation labels, which deviates from the requirement of semantic segmentation. To address this issue, we propose a dual-aware domain mining and cross-aware supervision (DDMCAS) method for weakly-supervised semantic segmentation. Specifically, we propose a dual-aware domain mining (DDM) module consisting of graph-based global reasoning unit and salient-region extension controller, which produces dense localization maps by exploring object features in salient regions and adjacent non-salient regions simultaneously. In order to further bridge the gap between salient regions and adjacent non-salient regions to generate more refined localization maps, we propose a cross-aware supervision (CAS) strategy to recover missing parts of the target objects and enhance weak attention in adjacent non-salient regions, leading to pseudo labels of higher quality for training the segmentation network. Based on the generated pseudo-labels, extensive experiments on PASCAL VOC 2012 dataset demonstrate that our method outperforms state-of-the-art methods using image-level labels for weakly supervised semantic segmentation.

2023 DuCape: Dual Quaternion and Capsule Network-Based Temporal Knowledge Graph Embedding
abstract
Recently, with the development of temporal knowledge graph technology, more and more Temporal Knowledge Graph Embedded (TKGE) models have been developed. The effectiveness of TKGE largely depends on the ability to model intrinsic relation patterns and capture specific information about entities and relations. However, existing approaches can capture only some of them with insufficient modeling capacity, and none has a “deep” architecture for modeling the entries in a quadruple at the same dimension. In this article, we propose a more powerful KGE framework named DuCape , which combines a dual quaternion and capsule network in modeling for the first time to make up for the defects of existing TKGE models. In dual quaternion vector space, the head entity learns a k -dimensional rigid transformation parametrized by relation and time, falling near its corresponding tail entity. Further, we employ the embeddings of entities, relations, and time trained from dual quaternion vector space as the input to capsule networks. Experimental results on several basic datasets show that the DuCape model constructed in this article is superior to existing state-of-the-art models.

2022 Eureka: Neural Insight Learning for Knowledge Graph Reasoning
abstract
The human recognition system has presented the remarkable ability to effortlessly learn novel knowledge from only a few trigger events based on prior knowledge, which is called insight learning. Mimicking such behavior on Knowledge Graph Reasoning (KGR) is an interesting and challenging research problem with many practical applications. Simultaneously, existing works, such as knowledge embedding and few-shot learning models, have been limited to conducting KGR in either “seen-to-seen” or “unseen-to-unseen” scenarios. To this end, we propose a neural insight learning framework named Eureka to bridge the “seen” to “unseen” gap. Eureka is empowered to learn the seen relations with sufficient training triples while providing the flexibility of learning unseen relations given only one trigger without sacrificing its performance on seen relations. Eureka meets our expectation of the model to acquire seen and unseen relations at no extra cost, and eliminate the need to retrain when encountering emerging unseen relations. Experimental results on two real-world datasets demonstrate that the proposed framework also outperforms various state-of-the-art baselines on datasets of both seen and unseen relations.

2022 When True Becomes False: Few-Shot Link Prediction beyond Binary Relations through Mining False Positive Entities
abstract
Recently, the link prediction task on Hyper-relational Knowledge Graphs (HKGs) has been a hot spot, which aims to predict new facts beyond binary relations. Although previous models have accomplished considerable achievements, there remain three challenges: i) the previous models neglect the existence of False Positive Entities (FPEs), which are true entities in the binary triples, yet becomes false when encountering the query statements of HKGs; ii) Due to the sparse interactions, the models are not capable of coping with long-tail hyper-relations, which are ubiquitous in the real-world; iii) The models are generally transductive learning processes, and have difficulty in adapting new hyper-relations. To tackle the above issues, we firstly propose the task of few-shot link prediction on HKGs and devise hyper-relation-aware attention networks with a contrastive loss, which are empowered to encode all entities including FPEs effectively and increase the distance between the true entities and FPEs through contrastive learning. With few-shot references available, the proposed model then learns the representations of their long-tail hyper-relations and predicts new links by calculating the likelihood between queries and references. Furthermore, our model is inductive and can be scalable to any new hyper-relation effortlessly. Since it is the first trial on few-shot link prediction for HKGs, we also modify the existing few-shot learning approaches on binary relational data to work with HKGs as baselines. Experimental results on three real-world datasets show the superiority of our model over various state-of-the-art baselines.

2022 Graph Capsule Network with a Dual Adaptive Mechanism
abstract
While Graph Convolutional Networks (GCNs) have been extended to various fields of artificial intelligence with their powerful representation capabilities, recent studies have revealed that their ability to capture the part-whole structure of the graph is limited. Furthermore, though many GCNs variants have been proposed and obtained state-of-the-art results, they face the situation that much early information may be lost during the graph convolution step. To this end, we innovatively present an Graph Capsule Network with a Dual Adaptive Mechanism (DA-GCN) to tackle the above challenges. Specifically, this powerful mechanism is a dual-adaptive mechanism to capture the part-whole structure of the graph. One is an adaptive node interaction module to explore the potential relationship between interactive nodes. The other is an adaptive attention-based graph dynamic routing to select appropriate graph capsules, so that only favorable graph capsules are gathered and redundant graph capsules are restrained for better capturing the whole structure between graphs. Experiments demonstrate that our proposed algorithm has achieved the most advanced or competitive results on all datasets.

2020 On Structural Features, User Social Behavior, and Kinship Discrimination in Communication Social Networks
abstract
In the research of social networks, their structural characteristics, user social behaviors, and user relationships are elements that are important to understand social networks, to predict user behaviors, and to manage social networks. In this article, we took as the research object of social networks the mobile communication network, which is closely connected with people's real lives. We studied the structural characteristics using the complex network analysis methods and derived the laws that exist in the structure of communication social networks. We analyzed users' social behaviors or social patterns from the perspective of age, gender, social scope, age differences, and time. In addition, we extracted various salient features of user's calling behavior, and used the XGBoost and logistic regression (LR) fusion method to establish the Kinship-XL model, which is able to improve the performance and speed. Through the experimental verification, the Kinship-XL model can determine whether there is a kinship between users or not.

2018 On Identification of Organizational and Individual Users Based on Social Content Measurements
abstract
Social network user identification is of great value and significance for predicting users' behavior, analyzing and regulating social networks, and studying the interaction between users. This paper studies the identities of social network users, divides them into organizational and individual users in terms of their identities, and explicitly defines and identifies both types of users. This paper also distinguishes a user as an organization or an individual according to the contents of text, multimedia, and their time series published in a social network. During the identification, the content (topic) complexity and normalization of the user in text content are measured; the picture features and time-series content of the user are being analyzed, and the machine-operable method that identifies a user as an organization or an individual is proposed from different perspectives so as to perform this identification. Finally, in order to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the identification method proposed in this paper, an experiment was made to the data collected from Sina Weibo and the probability model identification method was used to make a comparative analysis. Results indicate that the identification method used in this paper can effectively distinguish between a user as an organization or an individual.
