Assessing enterprise resilience under uncertainty necessitates capturing both intrinsic attributes and evolving inter-enterprise dependencies. However, real-world enterprise systems pose substantial structural challenges: redundant or loosely correlated links can trigger spurious relational inferenc
Due to the high value and high failure rates of startups, predicting their success is a critical challenge. Existing approaches typically model startup success from a single decision-maker's perspective, overlooking the collective dynamics that dominate real-world venture capital (VC) decision-makin
Online crowdfunding platforms have been gaining increasing popularity due to their convenience in soliciting social capital from the public. These platforms offer valuable opportunities for fundraisers to bring their creative products to life and support pro-social projects. However, the relatively…
Earnings call transcripts hold valuable insights that are vital for investors and analysts when making informed decisions. However, extracting these insights from lengthy and complex transcripts can be a challenging task. The traditional manual examination is not only time-consuming but also prone t…
Video-based apparent affect detection plays a crucial role in video understanding, as it encompasses various elements such as vision, audio, audio-visual interactions, and spatiotemporal information, which are essential for accurate video predictions. However, existing approaches often focus on extr…
Social media popularity prediction of multimodal user-generated content (UGC) is a crucial task for many real-world applications. However, existing efforts are often limited by missing inter-instance correlations and UGC temporal patterns. To address these issues, we propose a novel time-aware hyper…
Learning domain-invariant representations is a major task of out-of-distribution generalization. To address this issue, recent efforts have taken into accounting causality, aiming at learning the causal factors with regard to tasks. However, extending existing generalization methods for adapting non…
The recent advance in graph neural networks (GNNs) has inspired a few studies to leverage the dependencies of variables for time series prediction. Despite the promising results, existing GNN-based models cannot capture the global dynamic relations between variables owing to the inherent limitation…
Earnings conference calls are indicative information events for volatility forecasting, which is essential for financial risk management and asset pricing. Although recent volatility forecasting models have explored the textual content of conference calls for prediction, they suffer from modeling th…
Accurately predicting human mobility is a critical task in location-based recommendation. Most prior approaches focus on fusing multiple semantics trajectories to forecast the future movement of people, and fail to consider the distinct relations in underlying context of human mobility, resulting in…
Landslides refer to occurrences of massive ground movements due to geological (and meteorological) factors, and can have disastrous impact on property, economy, and even lead to loss of life. The advances of remote sensing provide accurate and continuous terrain monitoring, enabling the study and an…
Flow super-resolution (FSR) enables inferring fine-grained urban flows with coarse-grained observations and plays an important role in traffic monitoring and prediction. The existing FSR solutions rely on deep CNN models (e.g., ResNet) for learning spatial correlation, incurring excessive memory cos…
