Generative self-supervised learning (SSL), especially masked autoencoders (MAE), has greatly succeeded and garnered substantial research interest in graph machine learning. However, the research of MAE in dynamic graphs is still scant. This gap is primarily due to the dynamic graph not only possessing topological structure information but also encapsulating temporal evolution dependency. Applying a random masking strategy which most MAE methods adopt to dynamic graphs will remove the crucial subgraph that guides the evolution of dynamic graphs, resulting in the loss of crucial spatio-temporal information in node representations. To bridge this gap, in this paper, we propose a novel Informative Subgraphs Aware Masked Auto-Encoder in Dynamic Graph, namely DyGIS. Specifically, we introduce a constrained probabilistic generative model to generate informative subgraphs that guide the evolution of dynamic graphs, successfully alleviating the issue of missing dynamic evolution subgraphs. The informative subgraph identified by DyGIS will serve as the input of dynamic graph masked autoencoder (DGMAE), effectively ensuring the integrity of the evolutionary spatio-temporal information within dynamic graphs. Extensive experiments on eleven datasets demonstrate that DyGIS achieves state-of-the-art performance across multiple tasks.

Anomaly detection in dynamic networks aims to find network elements (e.g., nodes, edges, subgraphs, change points) with significantly different behaviors from the vast majority, it can also devote to community detection and evolution and prediction tasks. Most existing methods focus on one specific task, that is, only detect anomalies of one type of element isolated, so they lose the ability to model the correlation and driving mechanism between different abnormal behavior. Considering that the anomaly detection of one type of element is helpful to other types of elements, i.e., the temporal evolution hidden the dynamic networks are driven by indivisible behavior patterns. So in this paper, we propose a unified Generation model to analyze the dynamic network for Exploring the Abnormal Behaviors of different Scales (GEABS). It can model the relation and catch different levels (node, community and network) of anomaly with a joint statistical network model and detect the community structure and its evolution. Specifically, we denote the parameters of node popularity, community membership to generate the dynamic network with stochastic block model (SBM), we also describe the varying of node and community by dynamic process. With a well-designed generative mechanism, it can detect the change point on network level, temporal evolution on community level and abnormal behavior on node level synchronously, besides, it also detects the community structure effectively. We also propose an effective optimization algorithm with variational inference. Experimental results show that the GEABS achieves better performance on abnormal behavior and community structure compared with baselines.

We propose CFS, a distributed file system for large scale container platforms. CFS supports both sequential and random file accesses with optimized storage for both large files and small files, and adopts different replication protocols for different write scenarios to improve the replication performance. It employs a metadata subsystem to store and distribute the file metadata across different storage nodes based on the memory usage. This metadata placement strategy avoids the need of data rebalancing during capacity expansion. CFS also provides POSIX-compliant APIs with relaxed semantics and metadata atomicity to improve the system performance. We performed a comprehensive comparison with Ceph, a widely-used distributed file system on container platforms. Our experimental results show that, in testing 7 commonly used metadata operations, CFS gives around 3 times performance boost on average. In addition, CFS exhibits better random-read/write performance in highly concurrent environments with multiple clients and processes.
