Link prediction in dynamic networks is a key challenge in network science, involving inferring potential interactions and their changing strengths over time.
Traditional static network methods have limitations in capturing temporal dependencies and weight dynamics, while tensor-based methods like tensor wheel decomposition (TWD) offer a solution by representing dynamic networks as high-order tensors.
This study introduces a PID-controlled tensor wheel decomposition (PTWD) model that utilizes TWD's power to capture dynamic network features and integrates PID control principle for stable model parameter learning.
The PTWD model shows improved link prediction accuracy on real datasets, demonstrating its effectiveness compared to other models.
