Populating A Content Feed Based On A Hotness Score, Yongzhe Wang

Defensive Publications Series

Content sharing platforms typically populate content feeds with media items that are determined to be currently relevant or “fresh.” This allows the content sharing platforms to prioritize newer content for users. However, content sharing platforms typically fail to consider the “hotness” or popularity of media items. This disclosure relates to populating a content feed using a hotness score. The hotness score can be used to indicate a media item’s popularity, engagement, and/or relevance. The hotness score can be used in addition to other scores, such as freshness scores, or instead of one or more of these scores.

Contextualized Graph Neural Network For Node Classification

Defensive Publications Series

Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have been widely adopted for graph-structured data analysis. However, the performance of standard GNN models often suffers when applied to heterophilous graphs, where connected nodes tend to have dissimilar labels. This paper introduces the Contextualized Graph Neural Network (CGNN), a novel GNN architecture that enhances node representation learning by explicitly modeling the context of each node. CGNN uses a context encoding module to capture contextual information, followed by an adaptive message-passing mechanism, and finally a context-aware aggregation module. We provide a detailed algorithm and a Python implementation using PyTorch. Experimental results on benchmark heterophilous graph datasets …

Adaptive Relational Graph Network

Defensive Publications Series

Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have demonstrated significant potential for learning from graphstructured data. However, their performance often degrades on heterophilous graphs, where linked nodes exhibit dissimilar features. In this paper, we introduce the Adaptive Relational Graph Network (ARGN), a novel GNN architecture designed specifically to handle heterophily. ARGN utilizes a relational attention mechanism to capture complex relationships between nodes, coupled with an adaptive neighborhood selection strategy to dynamically identify relevant neighbors. Multi-hop information propagation is then used to enhance the node representations. We provide a detailed algorithm and implementation of ARGN using PyTorch. Our experiments on several benchmark heterophilous datasets …

ANGNN uses a weighted aggregation mechanism after neighborhood selection for robust representation learning on heterophilous graphs. We provide a detailed algorithm and implementation of ANGNN using PyTorch. Experimental results on several benchmark heterophilous datasets demonstrate that ANGNN significantly outperforms standard …

Correlation Model To Isolate Transient Inter-Degree Fiber-Faults In Roadms, Anonymous

Defensive Publications Series

This disclosure introduces a site-level correlation model designed to isolate physical fiber faults—especially transient or intermittent breaks—in cascaded MPO (Multi-Fiber Push-On) cables within ROADM networks. The key innovation uses bi-directional power monitoring rather than pilot tones or specialized FIM (Fiber Interface Module) hardware. By correlating simultaneous Loss of Signal (LOS) events at multiple Rx ports with the corresponding Tx ports that remain active, the method reliably identifies actual physical cable or connector faults. A fault-counter mechanism further tracks repeated toggling events, enabling operators to prioritize specific cables for inspection or replacement. This passive, vendor-agnostic approach simplifies network infrastructure, reduces unnecessary …
