Sampling Plans
Random sampling is a method where each member of the population has an equal chance of being selected for the sample. It involves selecting individuals randomly, often using random number generators or lottery-type methods. For example, when analyzing the properties of a...

Vector Algebra: Graphical Method
We use the laws of geometry to construct resultant vectors, followed by trigonometry to find vector magnitudes and directions. For a geometric construction of the sum of two vectors in a plane, we follow the parallelogram rule. Suppose two vectors are at arbitrary positions. Translate either one of...

This study introduces higher-order skip-gram with negative sampling (HOSGNS) for dynamic graph representation learning. HOSGNS effectively models temporal network changes and improves downstream tasks like disease spread prediction.
Area of Science:
- Graph representation learning
- Machine learning for dynamic networks
- Tensor factorization
Background:
- Real-world networks are dynamic, with changing interactions over time.
- Existing representation learning models often struggle with temporal network dynamics.
- Need for methods that can effectively capture time-varying graph structures.
Purpose of the Study:
- Generalize skip-gram embedding for time-varying graphs.
- Develop a method for implicit tensor factorization of dynamic networks.
- Improve node and time disentanglement in graph embeddings.
Main Methods:
- Generalizing the skip-gram embedding approach.
- Applying implicit tensor factorization to time-varying graph representations.
- Introducing higher-order skip-gram with negative sampling (HOSGNS).
Main Results:
- HOSGNS effectively disentangles node and time roles with fewer parameters.
- Learned representations outperform state-of-the-art methods on network reconstruction.
- Accurate prediction of dynamical processes like disease spreading.
Conclusions:
- HOSGNS offers an efficient method for dynamic graph representation learning.
- The approach has potential for estimating contagion risk from contact tracing data.
- Provides early risk awareness for public health applications.
