Embracing Domain Differences in Fake News: Cross-domain Fake News Detection using Multi-modal Data

no code implementations11 Feb 2021 Amila Silva, Ling Luo, Shanika Karunasekera, Christopher Leckie

Hence, this work: (1) proposes a novel framework that jointly preserves domain-specific and cross-domain knowledge in news records to detect fake news from different domains; and (2) introduces an unsupervised technique to select a set of unlabelled informative news records for manual labelling, which can be ultimately used to train a fake news detection model that performs well for many domains while minimizing the labelling cost.

METEOR: Learning Memory and Time Efficient Representations from Multi-modal Data Streams

no code implementations23 Jul 2020 Amila Silva, Shanika Karunasekera, Christopher Leckie, Ling Luo

To address this problem, we present METEOR, a novel MEmory and Time Efficient Online Representation learning technique, which: (1) learns compact representations for multi-modal data by sharing parameters within semantically meaningful groups and preserves the domain-agnostic semantics; (2) can be accelerated using parallel processes to accommodate different stream rates while capturing the temporal changes of the units; and (3) can be easily extended to capture implicit/explicit external knowledge related to multi-modal data streams.

On Predicting Personal Values of Social Media Users using Community-Specific Language Features and Personal Value Correlation

no code implementations16 Jul 2020 Amila Silva, Pei-Chi Lo, Ee-Peng Lim

Moreover, we use the stack model to predict the personal values of a large community of Twitter users using their public tweet content and empirically derive several interesting findings about their online behavior consistent with earlier findings in the social science and social media literature.

OMBA: User-Guided Product Representations for Online Market Basket Analysis

no code implementations18 Jun 2020 Amila Silva, Ling Luo, Shanika Karunasekera, Christopher Leckie

OMBA jointly learns representations for products and users such that they preserve the temporal dynamics of product-to-product and user-to-product associations.

JPLink: On Linking Jobs to Vocational Interest Types

no code implementations6 Feb 2020 Amila Silva, Pei-Chi Lo, Ee-Peng Lim

To cope with assigning massive number of jobs with RIASEC labels, we propose JPLink, a machine learning approach using the text content in job titles and job descriptions.

USTAR: Online Multimodal Embedding for Modeling User-Guided Spatiotemporal Activity

no code implementations23 Oct 2019 Amila Silva, Shanika Karunasekera, Christopher Leckie, Ling Luo

Building spatiotemporal activity models for people's activities in urban spaces is important for understanding the ever-increasing complexity of urban dynamics.
