将信任证据分三通道建模,提升动态信任预测的可靠性。
TCHG: Tri-Trust Conditioned Heterogeneous Graph Learning for Reliable Dynamic Trust Prediction

- 将信任信号拆分为实体、行为、上下文三类,分别控制信息传播
- 在多个数据集上优于主流基线方法,尤其在稀疏或矛盾证据下表现更稳
- 适合社交推荐、虚假评论检测等需要高可信度判断的应用场景
信任预测通过推断用户间的隐含信任关系,为社交推荐、虚假评论与操纵行为检测及风险识别提供重要支持。图神经网络因其能学习网络结构和复杂信任依赖,成为信任预测的主流方法。然而,现有方法通常将信任信号统一处理,未将异构信任证据分解为独立信道,未能发挥不同证据在信任建模中的差异化作用。为此,本文提出TCHG框架,将信任证据划分为三个信道,并赋予其不同功能:实体可靠性控制消息准入,交互行为可靠性调节传播强度,上下文信任通过条件化算子选择调整传播模式。由于三类信道演化时间尺度不同,TCHG采用独立的时间状态与非均匀衰减率,防止快速变化的上下文信号覆盖缓慢积累的实体可靠性。同时,模型还预测信任概率并校准输出,增强在稀疏或冲突证据下的预测置信度。在多个公开信任数据集上的大量实验表明,TCHG相较于代表性信任预测与异构图基线方法,实现了更有效且可靠的信任预测。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Trust prediction infers latent user-user trust relations and provides important support for social recommendation, fake-review and manipulation detection, and risk identification. Graph neural networks have become a prominent approach to trust prediction because of their ability to learn network structures and complex trust dependencies. However, existing methods often rely on a unified representation of trust signals and do not disentangle heterogeneous trust evidence into separate evidence channels, failing to exploit the distinct roles that different evidence channels should play during trust modeling. To address this gap, this paper argues that trust evidence should not be treated as an undifferentiated input, but should be decomposed and used as functional control factors over graph propagation. We propose TCHG, a tri-trust conditioned heterogeneous graph learning framework that decomposes trust evidence into three channels and assigns them distinct functional roles in propagation: entity reliability governs message admission, interaction-behavior reliability modulates propagation strength, and contextual trust adjusts the propagation mode through context-conditioned operator selection. Since the three evidence channels evolve at different temporal scales, TCHG maintains independent temporal states with non-uniform decay rates to prevent rapidly changing contextual signals from overwriting slowly accumulated entity reliability. It further predicts trust probability and calibrates the output probability, improving predictive confidence under sparse or conflicting evidence. Extensive experiments on multiple public trust datasets show that TCHG achieves effective and reliable trust prediction compared with representative trust prediction and heterogeneous graph baselines.
