Treffer: A Propagation Model of Derived Topic Based on Cognitive Accumulation and Transfer Learning

The propagation of hot topics often gives rise to a series of derivative topics. In view of the sparsity of user behavior data and the cognitive accumulation of the original topic, a prediction model of derived topic propagation based on cognitive accumulation and transfer learning is proposed. First, for the complexity of the derived topic feature space, considering the relation and difference between derivative topics and original topics, this study designs I(Iterative)T(Topic)2vec, a topic iterative representation method based on original topics to get the low-dimensional representation of the derived topic feature space more richly from the perspectives of both original topics and derivative topics. Second, it aims at the problem of users’ cognitive accumulation of the original topic before the outbreak of derivative topic. The subjective game theory is introduced to construct the cognitive influence of users. At the same time, considering the timeliness of the propagation cycle of derivative topics, we discretized the derivative topic data, and further proposed a derivative topic propagation model based on Subjective Adapt-CNN (SA-CNN). Finally, the sparsity of effective behavior data of users at the beginning of the outbreak of derivative topics is discussed. Considering the rich user behavior data in the communication history of the original topic, data migration is carried out by using the original topic. At the same time, the domain adaptive method based on Transfer Component Analysis (TCA) is introduced to achieve feature adaptation from the original topic data to the derived topic data, further improving the accuracy of the derived topic propagation model. Experiments show that this model can not only effectively alleviate the problem of data sparsity but also perceive the propagation situation of derived topics well.
