W-RNN: News text classification based on a Weighted RNN

arXiv.org Machine Learning

Most of the information is stored as text, so text mining is regarded as having high commercial potential. Aiming at the semant ic constraint problem of classification methods based on sparse representation, we propose a weighted recurrent neural network (W - RNN), which can fully extract text serialization semantic information. For the problem that the feature high dimensionality an d unclear semantic relationship in text data representation, we first utilize the word vector to represent the vocabulary in the text and use Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) to extract features of the serialized text data. The word vector is then automatica lly weighted and summed using the intermediate output of the word vector to form the text representation vector. Finally, the neural network is used for classification. W - RNN is verified on the news dataset and proves that W - RNN is superior to other four b aseline methods in Precision, Recall, F1 and loss values, which is suitable for text classification. On account of the certainty and comprehensibility of its expression, text has bec ome the popular way of information expression and transmission. Text classification is an extremely important research direction [1].


Network Transfer Learning via Adversarial Domain Adaptation with Graph Convolution

arXiv.org Machine Learning

Abstract--This paper studies the problem of cross-network node classification to overcome the insufficiency of labeled data in a single network. It aims to leverage the label information in a partially labeled source network to assist node classification in a completely unlabeled or partially labeled target network. Existing methods for single network learning cannot solve this problem due to the domain shift across networks. Some multi-network learning methods heavily rely on the existence of cross-network connections, thus are inapplicable for this problem. T o tackle this problem, we propose a novel network transfer learning framework AdaGCN by leveraging the techniques of adversarial domain adaptation and graph convolution. It consists of two components: a semi-supervised learning component and an adversarial domain adaptation component. The former aims to learn class discriminative node representations with given label information of the source and target networks, while the latter contributes to mitigating the distribution divergence between the source and target domains to facilitate knowledge transfer. Extensive empirical evaluations on real-world datasets show that AdaGCN can successfully transfer class information with a low label rate on the source network and a substantial divergence between the source and target domains. Codes will be released upon acceptance. It is an important building block of numerous real-world applications, such as product recommendation in e-commerce websites, advertisement distribution in social networks, and protein function identification for disease diagnosis. Many research efforts have been made to develop reliable and efficient methods for node classification in networked data. In the era of big data, massive amount of raw data in information networks is produced everyday . However, labeled data is significantly expensive and slow to acquire due to the high cost and long time of human annotations, making it difficult to train a well-generalized classifier [2]. Moreover, in some newly-formed networks such as a protein-protein interaction network constructed by some researchers, there may be no labels at all. Hence, it would be impossible to classify the nodes with only the information of this network. T o tackle these issues, a promising approach is to utilize class information from other similar or related networks to assist in classification, i.e., transfer learning on networked data [3], [4].


Adversarial Training Methods for Network Embedding

arXiv.org Machine Learning

Network Embedding is the task of learning continuous node representations for networks, which has been shown effective in a variety of tasks such as link prediction and node classification. Most of existing works aim to preserve different network structures and properties in low-dimensional embedding vectors, while neglecting the existence of noisy information in many real-world networks and the overfitting issue in the embedding learning process. Most recently, generative adversarial networks (GANs) based regularization methods are exploited to regularize embedding learning process, which can encourage a global smoothness of embedding vectors. These methods have very complicated architecture and suffer from the well-recognized non-convergence problem of GANs. In this paper, we aim to introduce a more succinct and effective local regularization method, namely adversarial training, to network embedding so as to achieve model robustness and better generalization performance. Firstly, the adversarial training method is applied by defining adversarial perturbations in the embedding space with an adaptive $L_2$ norm constraint that depends on the connectivity pattern of node pairs. Though effective as a regularizer, it suffers from the interpretability issue which may hinder its application in certain real-world scenarios. To improve this strategy, we further propose an interpretable adversarial training method by enforcing the reconstruction of the adversarial examples in the discrete graph domain. These two regularization methods can be applied to many existing embedding models, and we take DeepWalk as the base model for illustration in the paper. Empirical evaluations in both link prediction and node classification demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.


SPI-Optimizer: an integral-Separated PI Controller for Stochastic Optimization

arXiv.org Machine Learning

To overcome the oscillation problem in the classical momentum-based optimizer, recent work associates it with the proportional-integral (PI) controller, and artificially adds D term producing a PID controller. It suppresses oscillation with the sacrifice of introducing extra hyper-parameter. In this paper, we start by analyzing: why momentum-based method oscillates about the optimal point? and answering that: the fluctuation problem relates to the lag effect of integral (I) term. Inspired by the conditional integration idea in classical control society, we propose SPI-Optimizer, an integral-Separated PI controller based optimizer WITHOUT introducing extra hyperparameter. It separates momentum term adaptively when the inconsistency of current and historical gradient direction occurs. Extensive experiments demonstrate that SPIOptimizer generalizes well on popular network architectures to eliminate the oscillation, and owns competitive performance with faster convergence speed (up to 40% epochs reduction ratio ) and more accurate classification result on MNIST, CIFAR10, and CIFAR100 (up to 27.5% error reduction ratio) than the state-of-the-art methods.


Supervised Deep Hashing for Hierarchical Labeled Data

AAAI Conferences

Recently, hashing methods have been widely used in large-scale image retrieval. However, most existing supervised hashing methods do not consider the hierarchical relation of labels,which means that they ignored the rich semantic information stored in the hierarchy. Moreover, most of previous works treat each bit in a hash code equally, which does not meet the scenario of hierarchical labeled data. To tackle the aforementioned problems, in this paper, we propose a novel deep hashing method, called supervised hierarchical deep hashing (SHDH), to perform hash code learning for hierarchical labeled data. Specifically, we define a novel similarity formula for hierarchical labeled data by weighting each level, and design a deep neural network to obtain a hash code for each data point. Extensive experiments on two real-world public datasets show that the proposed method outperforms the state-of-the-art baselines in the image retrieval task.


Adversarial Network Embedding

AAAI Conferences

Learning low-dimensional representations of networks has proved effective in a variety of tasks such as node classification, link prediction and network visualization. Existing methods can effectively encode different structural properties into the representations, such as neighborhood connectivity patterns, global structural role similarities and other high-order proximities. However, except for objectives to capture network structural properties, most of them suffer from lack of additional constraints for enhancing the robustness of representations. In this paper, we aim to exploit the strengths of generative adversarial networks in capturing latent features, and investigate its contribution in learning stable and robust graph representations. Specifically, we propose an Adversarial Network Embedding (ANE) framework, which leverages the adversarial learning principle to regularize the representation learning. It consists of two components, i.e., a structure preserving component and an adversarial learning component. The former component aims to capture network structural properties, while the latter contributes to learning robust representations by matching the posterior distribution of the latent representations to given priors. As shown by the empirical results, our method is competitive with or superior to state-of-the-art approaches on benchmark network embedding tasks.
