We explore pseudometrics for directed graphs in order to better understand their topological properties. The directed flag complex associated to a directed graph provides a useful bridge between network science and topology. Indeed, it has…
We consider fair network topology inference from nodal observations. Real-world networks often exhibit biased connections based on sensitive nodal attributes. Hence, different subpopulations of nodes may not share or receive information…
Using the technique of the metrization theorem of uniformities with countable bases, in this note we provide, test and compare an explicit algorithm to produce a metric $d(x,y)$ between the vertices $x$ and $y$ of an affinity weighted…
In order to conduct analyses of networked systems where connections between individuals take on a range of values - counts, continuous strengths or ordinal rankings - a common technique is to dichotomize the data according to their…
We define a general notion of a smooth invariant (central) ergodic measure on the space of paths of an $N$-graded graph (Bratteli diagram). It is based on the notion of standardness of the tail filtration in the space of paths, and the…
Centrality metrics are a popular tool in Network Science to identify important nodes within a graph. We introduce the Potential Gain as a centrality measure that unifies many walk-based centrality metrics in graphs and captures the notion…
Persistence diagrams (PDs) are the most common descriptors used to encode the topology of structured data appearing in challenging learning tasks; think e.g. of graphs, time series or point clouds sampled close to a manifold. Given random…
Data defined over a network have been successfully modelled by means of graph filters. However, although in many scenarios the connectivity of the network is known, e.g., smart grids, social networks, etc., the lack of well-defined…
How to evaluate the importance of nodes is essential in research of complex network. There are many methods proposed for solving this problem, but they still have room to be improved. In this paper, a new approach called local volume…
We propose two new evaluation metrics to assess realness of generated images based on normalizing flows: a simpler and efficient flow-based likelihood distance (FLD) and a more exact dual-flow based likelihood distance (D-FLD). Because…
Across the sciences, the statistical analysis of networks is central to the production of knowledge on relational phenomena. Because of their ability to model the structural generation of networks, exponential random graph models are a…
Universal scaling of distances between vertices of Erdos-Renyi random graphs, scale-free Barabasi-Albert models, science collaboration networks, biological networks, Internet Autonomous Systems and public transport networks are observed. A…
The graph is one of the most widely used mathematical structures in engineering and science because of its representational power and inherent ability to demonstrate the relationship between objects. The objective of this work is to…
Exponential-family random graph models (ERGMs) provide a principled and flexible way to model and simulate features common in social networks, such as propensities for homophily, mutuality, and friend-of-a-friend triad closure, through…
In many studies, it is common to use binary (i.e., unweighted) edges to examine networks of entities that are either adjacent or not adjacent. Researchers have generalized such binary networks to incorporate edge weights, which allow one to…
Exchangeable random graphs serve as an important probabilistic framework for the statistical analysis of network data. In this work we develop an alternative parameterization for a large class of exchangeable random graphs, where the nodes…
We present a new, systematic approach for analyzing network topologies. We first introduce the dK-series of probability distributions specifying all degree correlations within d-sized subgraphs of a given graph G. Increasing values of d…
Graph embedding is a transformation of vertices of a graph into set of vectors. Good embeddings should capture the graph topology, vertex-to-vertex relationship, and other relevant information about graphs, subgraphs, and vertices. If these…
The famous Watts-Strogatz (WS) small-world network model does not approach the Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi (ER) random graph model in the limit of total randomization which can lead to confusion and complicates certain analyses. In this paper we…
Centrality measures quantify the importance of a node in a network based on different geometric or diffusive properties, and focus on different scales. Here, we adopt a geometrical viewpoint to define a multi-scale centrality in networks.…
