Recently, generative aspect-level sentiment quadruple prediction (ASQP) methods based on pre-trained language models have made significant progress. However, some challenges remain in extracting and recognizing complex sentiment elements from semantically rich sentences, limiting the generalization and adaptability of unidirectional generative models in aspect-level sentiment analysis. To overcome this limitation, this article proposes a Generative Aspect-Based Sentiment Quadruple Prediction Model based on Multi-Order Prompting (GenMOP). The model draws on the concept of prompt learning and introduces a multi-order prompting strategy, which breaks the traditional framework of a single generative order and enhances the flexibility and adaptability of the model. Furthermore, we integrate a quadruple quantity-aware module and a multi-view uncertainty-aware module based on a basic generative architecture, not only providing the model with more fine-grained information about the quadruple quantity but also improving the prediction accuracy through uncertainty estimation. The extensive experiments show that the GenMOP method achieves excellent performance in the ASQP task. On the four benchmark datasets including Rest15, Rest16, Rest and Lap, our model achieves F1 score improvements of 1.26%, 0.23%, 0.28%, and 2.07%, respectively, compared to existing state-of-the-arts, demonstrating its effectiveness and superiority in dealing with the joint extraction of multiple sentiment elements of the ASQP model.

Patent data generally includes information from different perspectives or different types, and its heterogeneous attributes can be greatly beneficial to data clustering analysis. However, the existing patent analysis method always focus on the patent text cues, and such a strategy merely depends on the feature information to capture the data characteristics, failing to multi-type informative patent representation. Therefore, in this paper, to model the underlying structure/relationships of patent data, we employ the knowledge graph to depict the heterogeneous attributes of patent, and propose a novel Knowledge Graph-based Patent Clustering (KGPC) method, where the relationship reconstruction in knowledge graph as well as clustering-oriented representation refinement for patent clustering are jointly considered. With this model, there are three components, i.e., entity representation refinement, relationship reconstruction and self-supervised entity clustering. Given a patent knowledge graph as input, the entity representation refinement can be mutually boosted by the relationship reconstruction and self-supervised clustering objective, thereby leading to a balanced clustering-oriented output. Extensive experiments on several real-world patent knowledge graph datasets validate the effectiveness of KGPC while compared with the state-of-the-art.

Due to the emergency of multi-view graph data, considerable attention is focused on the multi-view graph clustering. Although great efforts have been made in developing the multi-view graph clustering methods, most of them implicitly follow the homophily assumption, where the connected nodes with edges tend to be in the same category. As a matter of fact, such an ideal assumption is hard to be satisfied in the real-world graph data, and there are some heterogeneous edges connecting dissimilar nodes in graph. How to well consider the homophily and refine the noisy/heterogeneous edges in multi-view graph clustering still remains an under-explored challenge. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a Homophily-enhanced Adaptive Graph Refinement for Multi-view Graph Clustering (HomoMGC) method, where an adaptive graph refinement strategy is seamlessly designed. Specifically, a feature-oriented graph is constructed based on the shared feature, and an integrated graph is computed by averagely fusing all the input adjacent graphs. Then, the feature-oriented graph and integrated graph are stacked into a graph tensor with a low-rank tensor constraint, where a refined affinity probability matrix can be adaptively recovered from the integrated graph by considering multiple graph information as well as the semantics features. Extensive experiments on several benchmark datasets demonstrate the superiority of HomoMGC compared with the state-of-the-art graph clustering methods. For the code reproducibility, the source code of HomoMGC is public available at https://github.com/ManshengChen/Code-for-HomoMGc-master.

In the evolving landscape of sequential recommendation systems, the application of Large Language Models (LLMs) is increasingly prominent. However, current attempts typically utilize general-purpose LLMs, which present a mismatch in capability and a large semantic gap relative to the specialized needs of recommendation tasks. To tackle these issues, we introduce RecCoder, an innovative model that reformulates sequential recommendation as a code completion task. This approach leverages the superior reasoning capability of code LLMs as a backbone, aligning well with the requirements of recommendation systems. To bridge the semantic gap, RecCoder creates extra tokens for each item and employs item content to initialize token embeddings. Furthermore, we have developed a suite of Semantic Adaptation Fine-tuning tasks, tailored to enhance the model's acquisition of both content and collaborative semantic information, thus aligning the model's intrinsic capabilities with the unique demands of recommendation tasks. Through extensive testing on three public datasets, RecCoder has shown remarkable improvements over existing models in terms of recommendation accuracy and efficiency. This success highlights the substantial yet previously underexplored potential of code LLMs in improving recommendation accuracy and efficiency, suggesting a promising new direction for future research in this area. The implementation code is accessible at https://github.com/AllminerLab/Code-for-RecCoder-master.

In next basket recommendation, baskets are usually formed through a large number of user interactions with items in the early stage. In general, the existing methods for next basket recommendation primarily focus on historical purchase behavior of users, assuming that user purchase interests are static, and overlook the dynamic and diverse changes in user purchase interests. In order to fully capture dynamic user interests and provide users with more diverse recommendations, we propose our method, Dynamic Heterogeneous Graph Prompt (DHGP), for next basket recommendation. By constructing a dynamic heterogeneous graph, we can adequately consider the influence of various interactive behaviors on the user's baskets at different times. Furthermore, we introduce a periodic dynamic heterogeneous prompt strategy to capture the interest directions between baskets from different users and provide users with more diverse interest directions. Extensive experimental validation on six real world datasets demonstrates that our method shows strong applicability across datasets under various conditions and outperforms several state-of-the-art recommendation methods. To the best of our knowledge, DHGP is the first next basket recommendation method that effectively combines dynamic and heterogeneous information.

With the explosive growth of information, recommendation systems have emerged to alleviate the problem of information overload. In order to improve the performance of recommendation systems, many existing methods introduce Large Language Models to extract textual information from description text. However, Large Language Models are trained on large-scale generic textual data and may face a semantic gap for downstream recommendation tasks. To address the above issues, we propose Contrastive Learning for Adapting Language Model to Sequential Recommendation (CLA-Rec). In CLA-Rec, we first extract text embeddings from description text using Large Language Models and align the text embeddings learned by Large Language Models with the collaborative information through contrastive learning to obtain high-quality item representations. Through semantic alignment, we bridge the semantic gap between Large Language Models and the recommendation task. To map textual information and collaborative information into user representations, we utilize a Transformer model to learn user representations and capture user preferences by combining the semantically aligned item representations. Extensive experiments on three public datasets demonstrate that our method outperforms state-of-the-art approaches on multiple evaluation metrics, illustrating the effectiveness of the CLA-Rec model in adapting Large Language Models to recommendation tasks.

Next-basket recommendation (NBR) infers a set of items that a user will interact with in the next basket. Existing methods often struggle with the data sparsity problem, particularly when the number of baskets is significantly large due to diverse user behaviors. Cross-domain recommendation (CDR) can effectively alleviate this problem in NBR by transferring knowledge across different domains. Nevertheless, these methods often rely on the similarities of overlapping users, which leads to the negative transfer problem and ignores the overlapping items that are general in real-world scenarios like chain stores. In this paper, we provide a clear symbolic definition of cross-store recommendation (CSR) and distinguish it from CDR. We also propose a novel CSNBR model for cross-store next-basket recommendation task. To fully model the transferable collaborative information between two stores, we learn the embeddings of users, baskets, and items by two intra-store bipartite graphs, and use an inter-store unified bipartite graph to transfer the previously learned knowledge. Furthermore, to alleviate the negative transfer problem, we propose to reconstruct the inter-store unified bipartite graph by utilizing user embeddings obtained from the transfer layer and the disentanglement layer. We also employ two sequence encoders to model the historical sequential information at basket-level and item-level. Extensive experiments conducted on real-world datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of the CSNBR model.

How to localize the rumor source is a common interest of all sectors of the society. Many researchers have tried to use deep-learning-based graph models to detect rumor sources, but they have neglected how to train their deep-learning-based graph models in thenoisysocial network environmentefficiently. Especially for deep learning models, the performance relies on the data scale. However, even though its known that a substantial amount of rumor data distributed across multiple edge servers (e.g., cross-platform), due to conflicting business interests, its challenging to coordinate all parties to train a model driven by many samples while avoiding moving data. Federated learning, is an effective technique to bridge this gap. Therefore, this paper proposes aDistributedRumorSourceDetection viaBoostedFederatedLearning (DRSDBFL). Specifically, this paper proposes an effective rumor source detection method based on a deep-learning-based graph model with a denoising module. To the best of our knowledge, we are the first to attempt to the use of a denoising module to reduce the noisy effects of social networks. Then, we propose a novel boosted federated learning mechanism through boosting the high-quality edge worker to improve the training efficiency. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by extensive experiments.

The arrival of 5G networks has extensively promoted the growth of content delivery services (CDSs). Understanding and predicting the spatio-temporal distribution of CDSs are beneficial to mobile users, Internet Content Providers and carriers. Conventional methods for predicting the spatio-temporal distribution of CDSs are mostly base-stations (BSs) centric, leading to weak generalization and spatio coarse-grained. To improve the spatio accuracy and generalization of modeling, we propose user-centric methods for CDSs spatio-temporal analysis. With geocoding and spatio-temporal graphs modeling algorithms, CDSs records collected from mobile devices are modeled as dynamic graphs with spatio-temporal attributes. Moreover, we propose a spatio-temporal-social multi-feature extraction framework for spatio fine-grained CDSs hot spots prediction. Specifically, an edge-enhanced graph convolutional block is designed to encode CDSs information based on the social relations and the spatio dependence features. Besides, we introduce the Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) to further capture the temporal dependence. Experiments on two real-world CDSs datasets verified the effectiveness of the proposed framework, and ablation studies are taken to evaluate the importance of each feature.
