Emotions in social networks: Distributions, patterns, and models.
Published in CIKM (Acceptance Rate 21%), 2017
Find how emotions vary across users, how they evolve, and how they are connected to social ties+the dual of structural balance (signed nodes instead of edges).

Sentiment Prediction in Social Networks.
Published in ICDMW, 2018
An attempt to predict sentiments from network structure.
Recommended citation: Shengmin Jin and Reza Zafarani. "Sentiment Prediction in Social Networks." 2018 IEEE International Conference on Data Mining Workshops (ICDMW). IEEE, 2018. http://shengminjin.github.io/files/SentimentPrediction.pdf
Representing Networks with 3D Shapes.
Published in ICDM (Acceptance Rate 8.86%), 2018
A method to represent any network with a 3D shape. Shapes capture various network properties: isomorphic graphs = same shapes, different graphs (random graphs, dense graphs, etc.) have different shapes.

Network Identification and Authentication.
Published in ICDM (Acceptance Rate 18.5%), 2019
Given an anonymized sampled graph, we can tell where it is sampled from, e.g., from Facebook, Twitter, or a fake graph.

WebShapes: Network Visualization with 3D Shapes.
Published in WSDM , 2020
A web platform: WebShapes that enables researchers to visualize network data as customized 3D shapes.

SGCN: A Graph Sparsifier Based on Graph Convolutional Networks.
Published in PAKDD, 2020
A neural network graph sparsifier that sparsifies a graph by pruning some edges.

Noise-Enhanced Community Detection.
Published in Hypertext (Best paper nominated), 2020
We show and prove that you can take any community detection method, add limited noise to the network before running it, and get better communities.

Sentiment Paradoxes in Social Networks: Why Your Friends Are More Positive Than You?
Published in ICWSM, 2020
We identified five sentiment paradoxes at different network levels.

Graph-based Identification and Authentication: A Stochastic Kronecker Approach
Published in TKDE, 2020
We study the identification and authentication problems in the graph settings. We demonstrate the method can be used for biometrics, authenticating users based on their touch data on phones and tablets.

The Spectral Zoo of Networks: Embedding and Visualizing Networks with Spectral Moments
Published in KDD (Acceptance Rate 17%), 2020
We build a spectral zoo of networks by representing graphs using the spectral moments of the random walk transition matrix P=AD^-1. Now graphs are just like animals in the zoo!

A Spectral Representation of Networks: The Path of Subgraphs
Published in KDD (Acceptance Rate 15%), 2022
We propose representing networks with a 3D path in the spectral embedding space, to capture the spectral information of a network and its subgraphs.
