These are the written discussions of the paper "Bayesian measures of model complexity and fit" by D. Spiegelhalter et al. (2002), following the discussions given at the Annual Meeting of the Royal Statistical Society in Newcastle-upon-Tyne…
Link prediction has aroused extensive attention since it can both discover hidden connections and predict future links in the networks. Many unsupervised link prediction algorithms have been proposed to find these links in a variety of…
This is a draft version of an invited article for a forthcoming book `The genesis of Langlands Program', eds. Julia Mueller and Freydoon Shahidi, which will be published in the London Mathematics Society Lecture Notes Series. It gives a…
We introduce and summarise results from the recent paper 'Biased random walk on the trace of biased random walk on the trace of ...', which was written jointly with M. P. Holmes (University of Melbourne). We also present additional…
These are lecture notes from my talks at the "Current Developments in Mathematics" conference (Harvard, 2006). They cover a variety of topics involving symplectic cohomology. In particular, a discussion of (algorithmic) classification…
This note is a collection of several discussions of the paper "Beyond subjective and objective in statistics", read by A. Gelman and C. Hennig to the Royal Statistical Society on April 12, 2017, and to appear in the Journal of the Royal…
These notes provide a short, focused introduction to modelling stochastic gene expression, including a derivation of the master equation, the recovery of deterministic dynamics, birth-and-death processes, and Langevin theory. The notes were…
Meta-analysis is routinely performed in many scientific disciplines. This analysis is attractive since discoveries are possible even when all the individual studies are underpowered. However, the meta-analytic discoveries may be entirely…
In many applications, researchers seek to identify overlapping entities across multiple data files. Record linkage algorithms facilitate this task, in the absence of unique identifiers. As these algorithms rely on semi-identifying…
In the Admixture Model, the probability that an individual carries a certain allele at a specific marker depends on the allele frequencies in $K$ ancestral populations and the proportion of the individual's genome originating from these…
This is a technical report, containing all the theorem proofs and additional evaluations in paper "Efficient Identification of Additive Link Metrics via Network Tomography" by Liang Ma, Ting He, Kin K. Leung, Don Towsley, and Ananthram…
Link prediction in complex networks has attracted considerable attention from interdisciplinary research communities, due to its ubiquitous applications in biological networks, social networks, transportation networks, telecommunication…
This unpublished paper is a copy (completed by a development of section 5 and by minor corrections) of the article with the same title published in: Complex Analysis and Digital Geometry, Proceedings from the Kiselmanfest, 2006, Acta…
Comparative graph and network analysis play an important role in both systems biology and pattern recognition, but existing surveys on the topic have historically ignored or underserved one or the other of these fields. We present an…
This review is the updated and enlarged version of a talk delivered by J. S. on the occasion of the 1982 meeting of Nobel laureates at Lindau, and of talks given by B.-G. E. at several West German universities and Max Planck institutes in…

Reporting on a computer--assisted search for nonpositively curved CW complexes of intermediate rank conducted some years ago. Not intended for publication.
As science advances, the academic community has published millions of research papers. Researchers devote time and effort to search relevant manuscripts when writing a paper or simply to keep up with current research. In this paper, we…
