🤖 AI Summary
This study addresses the insufficient modeling of dynamic interaction mechanisms in public event evolution prediction by proposing the Auto-IBDLM framework. This approach models events as dynamic interaction networks, integrating network science-inspired hybrid representation learning with GRU-based temporal modules to enable automatic transformation of structural features into a compact latent space and participant growth forecasting. Experiments across thirteen real-world datasets demonstrate that the model achieves an accuracy exceeding 97%, significantly outperforming existing methods. By combining high precision, strong generalization capability, and interpretability, this work effectively enhances predictive performance for public event evolution, offering a robust solution for capturing complex dynamic interactions in evolving social systems.
📝 Abstract
Effective public event forecasting is essential for intelligent service systems, enabling proactive risk management, adaptive resource allocation, and timely decision-making. In many real-world scenarios, the evolution of public events is driven by dynamic interactions among participants. Motivated by this observation, this paper proposes auto-ibDLM, a network-driven deep learning framework that represents events as dynamic interaction networks and predicts public event evolution through participant growth forecasting. The proposed framework adopts a hybrid representation learning strategy that first represents network evolution using network science-informed structural metrics and subsequently transforms the resulting structural feature vectors into compact and robust latent representations through an auto-learning layer. A GRU-based temporal forecasting module is then employed to capture temporal dependencies and predict future participant growth. Extensive experiments on 13 real-world public event datasets and two publicly available dynamic network datasets demonstrate that auto-ibDLM consistently outperforms representative state-of-the-art methods in both forecasting accuracy and generalization capability, achieving over 97% accuracy in public event forecasting. Comprehensive experimental analyses further validate the effectiveness of the proposed hybrid representation learning strategy and demonstrate its representation-level interpretability. These results indicate that auto-ibDLM provides an effective and practical solution for intelligent public event forecasting.
