Conference Object Offer Referees Suggester for the Journal Editors(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2019-06) Cos¸kun, Mustafa; Hacilar, Hilal; Gezer, Cengiz; Güngör, Vehbi Çağrı; Coskun, MustafaAssigning appropriate referees to a journal or conference paper is a vital task for many reasons, including enhancing the journal venue quality and reliance, fair judgement of the papers, and among many others. While assigning the referees to the papers, the editors of a journal venue need to find suitable referees who are both related to field of the given paper and have no conflict of interest with the authors of the paper. Editorial-wise this referee assignment process is implemented in a hand-crafted manner, i.e., the editor needs to find the most suitable referees to the paper via a search engine and manually refines the all unrelated and having conflict of interest authors to the paper authors. Clearly, such a manual referee searching process is tedious and time consuming for the editors.In this paper, we present an alternate automated approach for assigning referees problem using intrinsic random walk with restart proximity measure. In our experiments based on a comprehensive DBLP networks, we show that our approach, called OFFER, significantly outperforms state-of-the-art the random walk with restart based method. © 2021 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Conference Object Expanding Label Sets for Graph Convolutional Networks(Springer International Publishing AG, 2025) Coskun, Mustafa; Grama, Ananth; Bakir-Gungor, Burcu; Koyuturk, MehmetIn recent years, Graph Convolutional Networks (GCNs) and their variants have been widely utilized in learning tasks that involve graphs. These tasks include recommendation systems, node classification, among many others. In node classification problem, the input is a graph in which the edges represent the association between pairs of nodes, multi-dimensional feature vectors are associated with the nodes, and some of the nodes in the graph have "known" labels. The objective is to predict the labels of the nodes that are not labeled, using the nodes' features, in conjunction with graph topology. While GCNs have been successfully applied to this problem, the caveats that they inherit from traditional deep learning models pose significant challenges to broad utilization of GCNs in node classification. One such caveat is that training a GCN requires a large number of labeled training instances, which is often not the case in realistic settings. To remedy this requirement, state-of-the-art methods leverage network diffusion-based approaches to propagate labels across the network before training GCNs. However, these approaches ignore the tendency of the network diffusion methods in biasing proximity with centrality, resulting in the propagation of labels to the nodes that are well-connected in the graph. To address this problem, here we present an alternate approach, namely LExiCoL, which extrapolates node labels in GCNs in the following three steps: (i) clustering of the network to identify communities, (ii) use of network diffusion algorithms to quantify the proximity of each node to the communities, thereby obtaining a low-dimensional topological profile for each node, (iii) comparing these topological profiles to identify nodes that are most similar to the labeled nodes. Testing on three large-scale real-world networks, we systematically evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm and show that our approach outperforms existing methods for wide ranges of parameter values.
