• Authors: Tunazzina Islam, Dan Goldwasser
• Abstract summary: We propose a weakly supervised graph embedding based framework for understanding user types. We evaluate the user embedding learned using weak supervision over well-being related tweets from Twitter. Experiments on real-world datasets demonstrate that the proposed framework outperforms the baselines for detecting user types.

• Abstract: Social media platforms provide convenient means for users to participate in multiple online activities on various contents and create fast widespread interactions. However, this rapidly growing access has also increased the diverse information, and characterizing user types to understand people's lifestyle decisions shared in social media is challenging. In this paper, we propose a weakly supervised graph embedding based framework for understanding user types. We evaluate the user embedding learned using weak supervision over well-being related tweets from Twitter, focusing on 'Yoga', 'Keto diet'. Experiments on real-world datasets demonstrate that the proposed framework outperforms the baselines for detecting user types. Finally, we illustrate data analysis on different types of users (e.g., practitioner vs. promotional) from our dataset. While we focus on lifestyle-related tweets (i.e., yoga, keto), our method for constructing user representation readily generalizes to other domains.

  We propose Contribution-Aware Multimodal User Embedding (CAMUE) for social networks. We show that our approach can provide personalized explainable predictions, automatically mitigating the impact of unreliable information. Our work paves the way for more explainable, reliable, and effective social media user embedding.

  We propose SoMeR, a Social Media user representation learning framework that incorporates temporal activities, text content, profile information, and network interactions to learn comprehensive user portraits. SoMeR encodes user post streams as sequences of timestamped textual features, uses transformers to embed this along with profile data, and jointly trains with link prediction and contrastive learning objectives. We demonstrate SoMeR's versatility through two applications: 1) Identifying inauthentic accounts involved in coordinated influence operations by detecting users posting similar content simultaneously, and 2) Measuring increased polarization in online discussions after major events by quantifying how users with different beliefs moved farther apart

  A major reason for the differences in user engagement patterns is that users have different intents. We propose a Dynamic Guided Meta Network (DIGMN) which can explicitly model user intent varying with time. Our method outperforms state-of-the-art baselines significantly.

  User purchasing prediction with multi-behavior information remains a challenging problem for current recommendation systems. We propose the concept of hyper meta-path to construct hyper meta-paths or hyper meta-graphs to explicitly illustrate the dependencies among different behaviors of a user. Thanks to the recent success of graph contrastive learning, we leverage it to learn embeddings of user behavior patterns adaptively instead of assigning a fixed scheme to understand the dependencies among different behaviors.

  We analyze two social media that enforced opposite moderation methods, Twitter and Gab, to assess the interplay between news consumption and content regulation. Our results show that the presence of moderation pursued by Twitter produces a significant reduction of questionable content. The lack of clear regulation on Gab results in the tendency of the user to engage with both types of content, showing a slight preference for the questionable ones which may account for a dissing/endorsement behavior.

We propose a user embedding model to account for the language variability of user interests via a multitask learning framework. The model learns user language and its variations without human supervision.
