The isomorphism problem is a key challenge in both graph and hypergraph domains, crucial for applications like protein design, chemical pathways, and community detection. Hypergraph isomorphism, which models high-order relationships in real-world scenarios, remains underexplored compared to the grap…
Topic modeling is a powerful unsupervised tool for knowledge discovery. However, existing work struggles with generating limited-quality topics that are uninformative and incoherent, which hindering interpretable insights from managing textual data. In this paper, we improve the original variational
Hierarchical topic models nowadays tend to capture the relationship between words and topics, often ignoring the role of anchor words that guide text generation. For the first time, we detect and add anchor words to the text generation process in an unsupervised way. Firstly, we adopt a clustering a…
In stochastic contextual bandit (SCB) problems, an agent selects an action based on certain observed context to maximize the cumulative reward over iterations. Recently there have been a few studies using a deep neural network (DNN) to predict the expected reward for an action, and the DNN is traine…
Graph sparsification is a powerful tool to approximate an arbitrary graph and has been used in machine learning over graphs. As real-world networks are becoming very large and naturally distributed, distributed graph sparsification has drawn considerable attention. In this work, we design communicat…
Graph sparsification has been used to improve the computational cost of learning over graphs, e.g., Laplacian-regularized estimation and graph semi-supervised learning (SSL). However, when graphs vary over time, repeated sparsification requires polynomial order computational cost per update. We prop…
