Accurate representation to an academic network is of great significance to academic relationship mining like predicting scientific impact.
The paper proposes a Prediction-sampling-based Latent Factorization of Tensors (PLFT) model to address the issue of high-dimensional and incomplete academic networks.
The PLFT model includes a cascade LFT architecture to enhance model representation learning ability and a predicting-sampling strategy to more accurately learn the network representation.
Experimental results show that the PLFT model outperforms existing models in predicting unexplored relationships in academic networks.
