Abstract

This paper introduces an early content propagation popularity prediction model based on graph neural network and variational inference topic dependent dynamic variational autoencoder model (CD-VAE). CD-VAE captures the dynamics in the content propagation process, aggregates the topological information in the information diffusion process using GraphSAGE, approaches the uncertainty in terms of time and node from the perspective of probability by introducing two variational autoencoders, considers the changes in semantic characteristics in the process by integrating natural language processing methods into the model, and therefore significantly improves its prediction performance.
