Abstract

In social event analysis, identifying relevant social groups plays a crucial role in event governance. To address the limitations of existing group discovery approaches that neglect group influence on individual node characteristics and temporal dynamics, this study proposed a Group Graph Convolutional Network (G-GCN) . The model enhances node representation by incorporating group features during individual node embedding. Recognizing the significance of temporal evolution in group discovery, we further developed a Temporal-Group Graph Convolutional Network (TG-GCN) based on G-GCN. This extended model captures temporal variations through learning node representation changes over time, achieving cross-temporal information aggregation and converting sequential interactions into evolutionary group representations. Experiments on Yelp and Amazon datasets demonstrated 0.1 accuracy improvement in group identification, confirming TG-GCN's effectiveness. The research provides new perspectives for event governance by emphasizing the importance of temporal-aware node representations, offering valuable insights for dynamic social event analysis and prediction.
