The goal of subgraph matching is to determine the presence of a particular query pattern within a large collection of data graphs. Despite being a hard problem, subgraph matching is essential in various disciplines, including bioinformatics, text matching, and graph retrieval. Although traditional approaches could provide exact solutions, their computations are known to be NP-complete, leading to an overwhelmingly querying latency. While recent neural-based approaches have been shown to improve the response time, the oversimplified assumption of the first-order network may neglect the generalisability of fully capturing patterns in varying sizes, causing the performance to drop significantly in datasets in various domains. To overcome these limitations, this paper proposes xDualSM, a dual matching neural network model with interleaved diffusion attention. Specifically, we first embed the structural information of graphs into different adjacency matrices, which explicitly capture the intra-graph and cross-graph structures between the query pattern and the target graph. Then, we introduce a dual matching network with interleaved diffusion attention to carefully capture intra-graph and cross-graph information while reducing computational complexity. Empirically, our proposed framework not only boosted the speed of subgraph matching more than 10× compared to the fastest baseline but also achieved significant improvements of 47.64% in Recall and 34.39% in F1-score compared to the state-of-the-art approximation approach on COX2 dataset. In addition, our results are comparable with exact methods.
From the end of 2019, one of the most serious and largest spread pandemics occurred in Wuhan (China) named Coronavirus (COVID-19). As reported by the World Health Organization, there are currently more than 100 million infectious cases with an average mortality rate of about five percent all over the world. To avoid serious consequences on people’s lives and the economy, policies and actions need to be suitably made in time. To do that, the authorities need to know the future trend in the development process of this pandemic. This is the reason why forecasting models play an important role in controlling the pandemic situation. However, the behavior of this pandemic is extremely complicated and difficult to be analyzed, so that an effective model is not only considered on accurate forecasting results but also the explainable capability for human experts to take action pro-actively.
With the recent advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques, the emerging Deep Learning (DL) models have been proving highly effective when forecasting this pandemic future from the huge historical data. However, the main weakness of DL models is lacking the explanation capabilities. To overcome this limitation, we introduce a novel combination of the Susceptible-Infectious-Recovered-Deceased (SIRD) compartmental model and Variational Autoencoder (VAE) neural network known as BeCaked. With pandemic data provided by the Johns Hopkins University Center for Systems Science and Engineering, our model achieves $0.98$ $R^2$ and $0.012$ $MAPE$ at world level with $31$-step forecast and up to $0.99$ $R^2$ and $0.0026$ $MAPE$ at country level with $15$-step forecast on predicting daily infectious cases. Not only enjoying high accuracy, but BeCaked also offers useful justifications for its results based on the parameters of the SIRD model. Therefore, BeCaked can be used as a reference for authorities or medical experts to make on time right decisions.
