Community detection in graphs often relies on ad hoc algorithms with no clear specification about the node partition they define as the best, which leads to uninterpretable communities. Stochastic block models (SBM) offer a framework to…
Traditional graph centrality measures effectively quantify node importance but fail to capture the structural uniqueness of multi-scale connectivity patterns -- critical for understanding network resilience and function. This paper…
The quality assessment of edges in an image is an important topic as it helps to benchmark the performance of edge detectors, and edge-aware filters that are used in a wide range of image processing tasks. The most popular image quality…

This paper focuses on the statistical analysis of shapes of data objects called shape graphs, a set of nodes connected by articulated curves with arbitrary shapes. A critical need here is a constrained registration of points (nodes to…
Semantic similarity measures (SSMs) refer to a set of algorithms used to quantify the similarity of two or more terms belonging to the same ontology. Ontology terms may be associated to concepts, for instance in computational biology gene…
Economic models produce moment inequalities, which can be used to form tests of the true parameters. Confidence sets (CS) of the true parameters are derived by inverting these tests. However, they often lack analytical expressions,…

The existing traditional edge detection algorithms process a single pixel on an image at a time, thereby calculating a value which shows the edge magnitude of the pixel and the edge orientation. Most of these existing algorithms convert the…
