Abstract

Effective information cascade prediction plays a very important role in suppressing the spread of rumors in social networks and providing accurate social recommendations on social platforms. This paper improves existing models and proposes an end-to-end deep learning method called CasGAT. The method of graph attention network is designed to optimize the processing of large networks. After that, we only need to pay attention to the characteristics of neighbor nodes. Our approach greatly reduces the processing complexity of the model. We use realistic datasets to demonstrate the effectiveness of the model and compare the improved model with three baselines. Extensive results demonstrate that our model outperformed the three baselines in the prediction accuracy.
