Social Network Analysis and Applications (SoNAA)

☕ Where Graphs Collaborates with Machine Learning for Problem Solving ☕

Research Threads

Graph is the central to all the threads we investigate

Fake News Detection

Can use of scemantic graph improve fake news detection accuracy?

Query Focused Summarization

How do we summarize if we have multiple documents in multiple language and a perticular question?

Information Difusion

What if two competing information is spreading simultonously?

Aggression Detection

Aggression spreads on network, how do we predict the future states of user behaviour?

Generative AI for Education

Can GenAI be an useful tool for new age pedagogy.

Visualization for Feature Engineering

Can graph visualization can also be used for feature generation for GNN?

Paper ‘TSGAN: Temporal Social Graph Attention Network for Aggressive Behaviour Forecasting’ by Swapnil, Suman and Rajesh acepted for presentation

  • First model to forecast individual aggression in social networks.
  • TSGAN integrates social influence (via active peers) and temporal decay (via exponential attention) into a unified attention module.
  • 24.8% improvement over baselines in daily aggression forecasting on X. State-of-the-art results on cross-platform Flickr for user popularity prediction.
  • Proposed LLM-based aggression content detection model (92.87% F1).
  • Efficiently scales to moderately large networks and is tolerant to aggression content detection noise.
  • Provides actionable forecasts for platforms to mitigate aggression-driven harms (e.g., cyberbullying, offline violence).

Paper ‘CaMN: Cross-aligned Fusion For Multimodal Understanding’ by Abhishek, Shubham and Suman is acepted for presentation

  • A novel denoising based multi-modal architecture that seamlessly integrates vision, text, and graph representation through a proposed guided cross attention mechanism
  • Designed a new objective function to align modalities within a unified semantic space, thereby improving the model’s coherence for better classification.
  • Superior performance on the publicly available dataset, outperforming existing state-of-the-art methodologies
