• Authors: Ryota Kobayashi, Patrick Gildersleve, Takeaki Uno and Renaud Lambiotte
• Abstract summary: We propose a model that describes the dynamics around peaks of popularity by incorporating key features, i.e., the anticipatory growth and the decay of collective attention together with circadian rhythms. Our work demonstrates the importance of appropriately modeling all phases of collective attention, as well as the connection between temporal patterns of attention and characteristic underlying information of the events they represent.

• Abstract: The dynamics of popularity in online media are driven by a combination of endogenous spreading mechanisms and response to exogenous shocks including news and events. However, little is known about the dependence of temporal patterns of popularity on event-related information, e.g. which types of events trigger long-lasting activity. Here we propose a simple model that describes the dynamics around peaks of popularity by incorporating key features, i.e., the anticipatory growth and the decay of collective attention together with circadian rhythms. The proposed model allows us to develop a new method for predicting the future page view activity and for clustering time series. To validate our methodology, we collect a corpus of page view data from Wikipedia associated to a range of planned events, that are events which we know in advance will have a fixed date in the future, such as elections and sport events. Our methodology is superior to existing models in both prediction and clustering tasks. Furthermore, restricting to Wikipedia pages associated to association football, we observe that the specific realization of the event, in our case which team wins a match or the type of the match, has a significant effect on the response dynamics after the event. Our work demonstrates the importance of appropriately modeling all phases of collective attention, as well as the connection between temporal patterns of attention and characteristic underlying information of the events they represent.

  We study continual event extraction, which aims to extract incessantly emerging event information while avoiding forgetting. We observe that the semantic confusion on event types stems from the annotations of the same text being updated over time. This paper proposes a novel continual event extraction model with semantic confusion rectification.

  Temporal point processes(TPPs) are the standard method for modeling such. Existing TPP models have focused on the conditional distribution of future events instead of explicitly modeling event interactions, imposing challenges for event predictions. We propose a novel approach that leverages a Neural Inference (NRI) to learn a graph that infers interactions while simultaneously learning dynamics patterns from observational data.

  We propose a family of models for sequences of different types of events without meaningful time stamps. The probability of observing an event type depends only on a summary of historical occurrences of its influencing set of event types. We show that a unique minimal influencing set exists for any set of event types of interest and choice of summary function.
