Analysis and Semantic Mining in Heterogeneous Information Network by Rui Wang, Zhiqiang Zhang, Chuan Shi

“…Heterogeneous information network（HIN），which is composed of different types of objects and links，has gradually become a hot topic in social network analysis.As a unique characteristic of HIN，meta path contains rich semantic information.Heterogeneous information network with values on links are ubiquitous in real world.Therefore，the traditional meta path，which doesn’t consider weight on links，can not exactly capture semantics in many cases.Related concepts of HIN were introduced and a brief introduction of applications of HIN was given.Then subtle semantic information in HIN was explored by extending the traditional meta path to weighted meta path.Experiments on two real data sets demonstrate the applications of the weighted meta path in recommendation，relevance search.…”

Byzantine-robust federated learning over Non-IID data by Xindi MA, Qinghua LI, Qi JIANG, Zhuo MA, Sheng GAO, Youliang TIAN, Jianfeng MA

“…The malicious attacks of Byzantine nodes in federated learning was studied over the non-independent and identically distributed dataset , and a privacy protection robust gradient aggregation algorithm was proposed.A reference gradient was designed to identify “poor quality” shared gradients in model training, and the influence of heterogeneity data on Byzantine node recognition was reduced by reputation evaluation.Meanwhile, the combination of homomorphic encryption and random noise obfuscation technology was introduced to protect user privacy in the process of model training and Byzantine node recognition.Finally, through the evaluation over the real-world datasets, the simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can accurately and efficiently identify Byzantine attack nodes while protecting user privacy and has good convergence and robustness.…”

Global efficiency estimation method of complex network based on fractal property by Sheng ZHANG, Weikai DAI, Feng WU, Wenxiang LAN

“…A method of network efficiency estimation based on fractal property was proposed for solving the problems of high complexity and time-consuming calculation of efficiency in large scale networks.Considering the fractal properties of complex network topology,the relationship between network efficiency and node correlation sum was analyzed,and the global network efficiency was estimated by partial nodes.Besides,to rapidly find the fractal properties of complex networks,a fractal property discrimination method based on node correlation sum was proposed.The experimental analysis in the construction network and the real-world network show that the proposed method can accurately and effectively estimate the global efficiency of the network,which reduces the calculation time by at least 90% compared with the original method.…”
