Description

Mobile social network user relationship inference method based on spatio-temporal relationship learning
Technical Field
The invention relates to a method for inferring the user relationship of a mobile social network based on spatio-temporal relationship learning, which utilizes the mobile information of a user.
Background
In recent years, with the popularization of mobile social networking applications such as Facebook, Twitter, and microblog, users can publish in a timely manner a place of interest (a web red restaurant, a tourist attraction, etc.) that they are visiting to share with friends. Although such social ways bring great convenience to people's friends making, there is a risk of revealing the user's social relationships. Users of mobile social networks are also becoming aware of this, for example, a large-scale study on Facebook users shows: the proportion of Facebook users hiding buddy lists rose from 17.2% in 2010 to 56.2% in 2011. Few users know that their friends can be inferred using check-in records with spatiotemporal relationships, accurately revealing the hidden social relationships between users.
Existing social relationship inference methods based on spatiotemporal relationships are mainly divided into two categories: the first type is a heuristic method based on feature selection, and effective features such as number of times of contact, number of shared positions, popularity of the shared positions and the like are observed and selected to serve as a measuring standard for measuring whether the users have a friendship or not. These methods, however, put many assumptions and limitations on the required movement data, which greatly reduce their applicability. For example, almost all existing effective methods can only be used if two individuals share a location. The other method is a method based on feature learning, the movement features of the users are vectorized through a machine learning method, and the similarity degree between vectors is used as a standard for deducing whether the user pairs have a friendship or not. However, this type of method is directed to individual modeling and loses time information in the mobile data, so that a more accurate relationship inference cannot be directly obtained.

Detailed Description
The invention will be further illustrated with reference to the following specific examples. It should be understood that these examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Further, it should be understood that various changes or modifications of the present invention may be made by those skilled in the art after reading the teaching of the present invention, and such equivalents may fall within the scope of the present invention as defined in the appended claims.
The invention deduces whether the users have a friendship or not by utilizing the similarity of the movement tracks among the users and the propagation of the social network, and FIG. 1 is an abstraction of the real problem. The inference model is divided into two phases: 1. constructing an initial social network graph: the initial social network graph is constructed based on the observation that the movement trajectories among friends generally have higher similarities. 2. Obtaining a hidden social relationship: based on the phenomenon that network topological structures among friends are more similar, hidden friendships with similar preferences but without similar movement tracks are mined.
FIG. 2 shows a specific implementation content of the spatio-temporal relationship learning-based mobile social network user relationship inference method provided by the present invention, which mainly includes the following two stages:
the first stage is as follows: building preliminary social graph
In the stage, the interactive behavior characteristics between the user pairs are extracted, and whether the two users have a friendship or not is deduced by using the characteristics. Generally, the interactive behavior features may be characterized by statistical attributes of the interactions between pairs of users, such as number of impressions, number of co-visited sites. However, there may be no co-visit events or meeting events for friends, and not all co-visits are of equal importance in inferring the user's friendship. Therefore, we propose a more comprehensive approach to learning complex interactive behavior features. We embed both the collective behavior and the individual behavior of two users into the interactive behavior feature. In addition, we consider that different places and time periods have different prediction importance, and design a hybrid model to generate the compressed interactive behavior feature vector and the initial classification result at the same time, wherein each position influence range and each time interval are parameters of the model. The method can ensure that the compressed interactive behavior characteristics keep the original action characteristics of the user as much as possible, and the characteristics have an important indication function in the task of deducing the friendship. The first stage comprises the following steps:
step 1, constructing a space-time matrix
Firstly, dividing all points of interest (POIs) signed by all users of mobile data into grids of I × J according to longitude and latitude, simultaneously dividing time into M time segments, and constructing a space-time matrix (STD) of I × J × M, wherein the time dimension is divided into time slices with equal length tau, the space dimension is uniformly divided into grids with equal size, and each grid is recursively divided into four equal grids in consideration of larger difference of density of the POIs in a geographic region until the number of the POIs in each grid is less than a threshold value sigmaa,ub) The trajectories of all the users can be projected into the STD, each check-in of the user can be projected into a specific square, and for each square, three indicating factors are calculated, namely the user u in the time periodaNumber n of POIs visitedaUser ubNumber n of POIs visitedbAnd user uaAnd user ubNumber n of commonly visited POIsa,b. Thereby obtaining a user pair (u)a,ub) Space-time matrix of

Figure BDA0002550117600000062
Triple in formula
Figure BDA0002550117600000063
Represents the user u in the m-th time periodaAnd ubThe statistics of the movement information in the location grid of the ith row and jth column.
Step 2, coding of space-time matrix
This step pairs each pair of users (u)a,ub) Space-time matrix O of(a,b)Encoding into a low-dimensional vector and using the vector to calculate user uaAnd user ubProbability of friendship, where the size of the spatio-temporal matrix can be adjusted by parameters σ and τ.
We input the spatio-temporal matrix into an automatic encoder, and the encoder with R hidden layers encodes it into d-dimensional vector, i.e. the R-th layer output result of the encoder. Decoder with R hidden layers outputs reconstructed space-time matrix according to d-dimensional vector
Figure BDA0002550117600000064
Make it and the input O of the encoder(a,b)And (4) approaching. The optimization goals of the training process are as follows:
Figure BDA0002550117600000065
in the formula (I), the compound is shown in the specification,

Figure BDA0002550117600000072
And the space-time matrix O before coding(a,b)Similarly, U represents all users in the training sample.
The training of the auto-encoder is unsupervised, which means that it only learns the input structure and does not have the function of feature selection or tendency, so the finally obtained d-dimensional feature vector only retains the user's original movement information and cannot guarantee utility in the friendship inference task. To avoid this problem, we use supervised training to reconstruct and distinguish the encoding process, i.e. we add a classification network (output) to the auto-encoder

representing the prediction result, namely the output result of the classification network; y represents a sample label; n represents the number of training samples, i.e. the number of pairs of users involved in the training data set.
To obtain a more discriminative vector representation, we put the following constraints on the integrated hybrid network:
Figure BDA0002550117600000077
in the formula (I), the compound is shown in the specification,
Figure BDA0002550117600000078
representing the composite loss function of the hybrid network.
Once training is complete, the encoder will be taken from the network of automated encoders for encoding and preliminary relationship inference for any pair of user spatio-temporal relationship matrices in the set of users.
And a second stage: obtaining hidden social relationships
In the second phase, we consider the characteristics of indirect links between user pairs, i.e. the characteristics of the network structure. Since mobile data does not have a social topological graph, we extract structural features from the first stage prediction (a semi-true social graph). Considering that the simple heuristic structural features are not universally applicable, a new K reachable subgraph is provided for describing the network structural features among target users, and the subgraph is coded to obtain a structural feature vector. And finally, combining the coded structure vector with corresponding interactive characteristics to improve the accuracy of inference. In addition, an iterative process is designed, and the structural feature vector and the obtained final social relationship graph can be simultaneously refined.
The second stage comprises the following steps:
step 3, extracting a local graph structure, namely a K reachable subgraph
Katz is a common method for measuring network proximity between users, which considers a global view of user pairs in a social graph, i.e., all possible paths between user pairs. However, we consider this to be unreasonable, as longer paths not only are computationally complex but also negatively impact relationship inference. Therefore, we describe the network structure between users with local view points in network proximity, i.e. extracting a k-reachable subgraph for each user. For a given initial social relationship graph G ═ U, E, we define the extraction user pair (U, E)a,ub) K-reachable diagram of
Figure BDA0002550117600000081
The steps are as follows:
step 301, setting the path length to 2, will
Figure BDA0002550117600000082
Initializing to be an empty graph;
step 302, find out (u) in the initial social relationship graph G constructed in the first stagea,ub) All paths of length 2 between them and all found paths are expressed as

Then delete social relationship graph G neutralization
Figure BDA0002550117600000084
Point and edge deletion all occur in (except user u)aAnd user ubItself).
Step 303, increasing the path length step by step, and repeating step 302 until the path length exceeds k.
Step 4, iteratively updating the prediction social graph
From the initial social relationship graph G constructed in the first stage, we are for each pair of users (u)a,ub) K-reachable diagram of
Figure BDA0002550117600000085
And (6) coding is carried out. Coding the paths with the same length based on the accumulation principle, splicing the coding results of the paths with different lengths, and realizing the vectorization of the user on the k-reachable subgraph. Fig. 4 illustrates the K-reachable subgraph encoding process in detail.
0/1 classification (1 is friend, 0 is not friend) is carried out according to the comprehensive feature vector (the interactive behavior feature obtained in the first stage and the local structure feature vector obtained in the second stage) of the user pair by using a classifier, and the latest prediction social graph is obtained.
And updating the structural characteristics of the user pairs by using the latest social graph, and further predicting again until the prediction result is not changed, namely obtaining the final predicted social network graph.
The verification process of the invention is as follows:
the experiment adopts real data disclosed by BrightKite and Gowalla, the two data sets are both social networks based on positions, and a user can publish own time-position information and share the time-position information to own friends. Such data sets are divided into a check-in data set and a social relationship graph of the user, and table 1 shows statistical information of the experimental data set.
TABLE 1 data set statistics
Figure BDA0002550117600000086
Figure BDA0002550117600000091
The experiment was compared with four popular inference methods based on distance traveled, number of shared locations, random walks and graph embedding.
Inference based on the relationship of the number of shared locations: the method extracts and uses the number of common places visited by a pair of users as features to infer whether a friendship exists between the pair of users. The experiment was supervised learning using svm classifiers.
A relational inference based on distance of movement. The method calculates the center position of the activity of each user according to all the movement information of each user, and deduces whether the users have a friendship or not by taking the Euclidean distance of the center position of each pair of users as a characteristic. The experiment was supervised learning using svm classifiers.
Relationship inference based on random walks. The method maps the mobile data of the user into a user-position bipartite graph, walks out the neighbors of each user in the bipartite graph according to a certain rule, compresses the neighbor information into vectors, and finally carries out friend relation inference by comparing the similarity degree of characteristic vectors between user pairs.
Relationship inference based on graph embedding. The method constructs a head-meeting graph according to the mobile information of users, namely two users have edges when the two users appear together (appear at the same position in a certain time interval), swims out a certain number of friends for each user on the head-meeting graph, codes the friend nodes into vectors, and finally carries out friend relation inference by comparing the similarity degree of characteristic vectors between user pairs.
In the experiment, f1-score is used as an evaluation index, the index is insensitive to class distribution, and the accuracy of an inference result can be accurately depicted even if the class distribution is unbalanced. It is defined as:
f1-score ═ (2 × precision × recall) ÷ (precision + recall)
Where precision accuracy rate is the number of true positives divided by the number of predicted results as positives and recall (also called true positive rate) is the number of true positives divided by the number of tags as positives. The value of f1-score is between 0 and 1, and the larger the value is, the higher the accuracy of the inference is.
In our experiment, we adopt a fully connected self-encoder network, the number of nodes in each layer in the network structure is half of the number of nodes in the previous layer, and the last layer is set by the user. On the other hand, in the structure of the decoder, we use the same inverse network structure as the encoder. The experiment adjusts the number of layers according to the size of the space-time matrix input into the encoder. We use a simple KNN and SVM as the classifier in stage 1 and the binary classifier in stage 2, respectively, and RBF as the kernel function of the support vector machine. The learning rate for all networks was set to 0.005 and the condition for iteration termination was that the change in the social networking graph edge for both runs was less than 1%.
1) Influence of spatial granularity σ
We tested five cases of σ of 500, 750, 1000, 1250 and 1500 to infer the accuracy of the results. As shown in fig. 5(a), (b), in the brightkit dataset (fig. 5(a)), as σ increases from 500 to 1000, its f1-score increases by 4.56%, and then the accuracy gradually decreases as σ increases. A similar trend is for the Gawalla dataset (fig. 5(b)), where f1-score takes a maximum value when σ is 750, since POIs in the Gawalla dataset are more dispersed than POIs in the brightkit dataset, which means that a grid in Gawalla covers a larger geographical area than brightkit, so the optimal σ value for the Gawalla dataset is smaller than the brightkit data.
2) Influence of time granularity tau
We tested the accuracy of the results in five cases of tau being 1 day, 7 days, 14 days, 30 days and 60 days. As shown in fig. 6(a) and (b), the Brightkite dataset (fig. 6(a)) has a maximum F1-Score when τ is 7 days. Similar experimental results were also documented in the Gawalla dataset (fig. 6 (b)). This is because human activities tend to exhibit periodicity, typically on a weekly basis.
3) Influence of the coding dimension d
We tested the accuracy of the inferred results in five cases, d is 16, 32, 64, 128 and 256. As shown in fig. 7(a), (b), the accuracy variation of the brightkit dataset (fig. 7(a)) and the Gawalla dataset (fig. 7(b)) have the same trend, since the higher the dimensionality of the spatio-temporal relationship vector, the more information is contained, resulting in better attack performance; however, the high-dimensional space-time relationship vector also generates excessive noise, and the accuracy of the attack is reduced.
4) Influence of the number of iterations
From the above exploration of the parameters, we experimented with two data sets using the best value for each parameter.
Fig. 8(a), (b) depict the brightkit dataset (fig. 8(a)) and the Gawalla dataset (fig. 8(b)), the effect of the number of iterations on our inferred accuracy. It can be seen that the inference accuracy remains improved as the number of iterations increases, 4 and 5 for the number of iterations required to satisfy the termination condition in Gowalla and Brightkite, respectively.
5) Influence of the number of user sign-ins
Fig. 9(a) and (b) are graphs showing the influence of the number of shared positions by the user on the accuracy of the inference result. It can be seen that as the number of shared locations increased, the accuracy of the inference results also increased. The experimental results also show that the brightkit data set (fig. 9(a)) and the Gawalla data set (fig. 9(b)) of the inference model are higher than the method based on feature extraction (inference based on the relation of moving distance) by about 10% on the index of f 1-score.
6) User impact on number of shared locations
Fig. 10(a) and (b) are graphs showing the influence of the number of user check-ins on the accuracy of the estimation result. Experimental results of the brightkit dataset (fig. 10(a)) and the Gawalla dataset (fig. 10(b)) show that our method is somewhat robust to users with different numbers of check-ins. Obviously, the more user check-ins, the more accurate the modeling of user behavior patterns and the more accurate the user relationship inference.
