学术报告1：Social Spammer Detection: A Data Mining Perspective

内容摘要：With the growing popularity of social media, social spamming has become rampant on all platforms. Many (fake) accounts, known as social spammers, are spammers are a special kind of spammers who coordinate among themselves to launch attacks such as distributing ads to generate sales, disseminating pornography and viruses, executing phishing attacks, or simply sabotaging a system's reputation. In this talk, I will introduce a novel and systematic analysis of social spammers from data mining perspective to tackle the challenges raised in social media data for spammer detection. Specifically, I will formally define the problem of social spammer detection and discuss the unique properties of social media data that make this problem challenging. By analyzing the two most important types of information, network and content information, I will introduce a unified framework by collectively using heterogeneous information in social media. To tackle the labeling bottleneck in social media, I will show how we can take advantage of the existing information about spam in email, SMS, and on the web for spammer detection in microblogging. I will also present a solution for efficient online processing to handle fast-evolving social spammers.。

学术报告2：A Probabilistic Framework of Transfer Learning

内容摘要：Transfer learning refers to statistical machine learning methods that integrate the knowledge of source domain and the data of target domain in an appropriate way, in order to develop a model for the target domain that is better than a model using the data of the target domain alone. Transfer learning emerged because classic machine learning, when used to model different domains, has to take on one of two mechanical approaches. That is, it will either assume the data distributions of the different domains to be the same and thereby developing one model that fits all, or develop one model for each domain independently. Transfer learning, on the other hand, aims to mitigate the limitations of the two approaches by accounting for both the similarity and specificity of related domains. My objective is to develop new transfer learning methods and demonstrate the utility of the methods in real-world applications. Furthermore, I apply the proposed transfer learning approach to modeling of degenerate biological systems. Degeneracy is a well-known characteristic, widely-existing in many biological systems, and contributes to the heterogeneity, complexity, and robustness of biological systems. In particular, I study the application of one degenerate biological system which is to use transcription factor (TF) binding sites to predict gene expression across multiple cell lines.

学术报告3：Attributed Network Embedding

内容摘要：Attributed networks are ubiquitous in many real-world applications, such as social media and academic networks. Different from plain networks in which only node-to-node interactions and dependencies are observed, each node in the attributed network is often associated with a rich set of data that records its attributes. It becomes increasingly promising to advance the learning performance by jointly exploiting geometrical and attribute structures. Motived by dimensionality reduction, a number of algorithms have been proposed to exploit the potential of embedding it into a continuous low-dimensional space. In this talk, I will formally define attributed network embedding, and introduce several state-of-the-art methods, including one of our current work, i.e., large-scale attributed network embedding (LANE). I will show you how can these methods incorporate node attributes and network topical structure into a unified latent representation, especially how can our proposed framework make it efficient and scalable.

学术报告4：Accelerated Anomaly Detection in Attributed Graphs

内容摘要：Anomaly detection, which aims at discovering objects or events significantly different from the background, has been widely used in many applications such as spammer detection, network failure detection and video surveillance. While attributed graph has become more and more popular in presenting many large-scale information systems such as social media and medical systems, it motivates us to investigate efficient algorithms of anomaly detection that can incorporate attribute information and process large graphs. In this talk, I will introduce an accelerated algorithm for detecting community-based anomalies from graphs with node attributes information. Specifically, I will formally define the community anomalies. By combing two types of information, structure information and attribute information, I will also show how to partition the graph into meaningful communities with overlaps. The coherence between attributes and communities is summarized as part of the outcome, and will serve as the basis for spotting abnormal objects. To process large graphs, I will present a distributed algorithm by taking advantage of the sparseness of data and parallel computing framework.
