Influence maximization in social networks plays a vital role in applications such as viral marketing, epidemiology, product recommendation, opinion mining, and counter-terrorism. A common approach identifies seed nodes by first detecting…
Finding influential spreaders is a crucial task in the field of network analysis because of numerous theoretical and practical importance. These nodes play vital roles in the information diffusion process, like viral marketing. Many…
When a network is reconstructed from data, two types of errors can occur: false positive and false negative errors about the presence or absence of links. In this paper, the vertex degree distribution of the true underlying network is…
We consider a system model comprised of an access point (AP) and K Internet of Things (IoT) nodes that sporadically become active in order to send data to the AP. The AP is assumed to have N time-frequency resource blocks that it can…
Measuring and optimizing the influence of nodes in big-data online social networks are important for many practical applications, such as the viral marketing and the adoption of new products. As the viral spreading on social network is a…
Spreading processes represent a very efficient tool to investigate the structural properties of networks and the relative importance of their constituents, and have been widely used to this aim in static networks. Here we consider simple…
We consider the optimization problem of seeding a spreading process on a temporal network so that the expected size of the resulting outbreak is maximized. We frame the problem for a spreading process following the rules of the…
With the growing popularity of online social media, identifying influential users in these social networks has become very popular. Existing works have studied user attributes, network structure and user interactions when measuring user…
Influential node detection is a central research topic in social network analysis. Many existing methods rely on the assumption that the network structure is completely known \textit{a priori}. However, in many applications, network…
In this work, we study the evolution of the susceptible individuals during the spread of an epidemic modeled by the susceptible-infected-recovered (SIR) process spreading on the top of complex networks. Using an edge-based compartmental…
In many complex networked systems, such as online social networks, activity originates at certain nodes and subsequently spreads on the network through influence. In this work, we consider the problem of modeling the spread of influence and…
Identifying emerging influential or popular node/item in future on network is a current interest of the researchers. Most of previous works focus on identifying leaders in time evolving networks on the basis of network structure or node's…
[Background]Discovering key nodes plays a significant role in Social Network Analysis(SNA). Effective and accurate mining of key nodes promotes more successful applications in fields like advertisement and recommendation. [Methods] With…
This paper proposes a new method to identify leaders and followers in a network. Prior works use spatial autoregression models (SARs) which implicitly assume that each individual in the network has the same peer effects on others.…
We investigate the problem of locating the source of a self-interacting signal spreading in a complex networks. We use a well-known rumour model as an example of the process with self-interaction. According to this model based on the SIR…
Transfer entropy (TE) is a powerful tool for measuring causal relationships within interaction networks. Traditionally, TE and its conditional variants are applied pairwise between dynamic variables to infer these causal relationships.…
Influence propagation in networks has enjoyed fruitful applications and has been extensively studied in literature. However, only very limited preliminary studies tackled the challenges in handling highly dynamic changes in real networks.…
Influence Maximization (IM), which aims to select a set of users from a social network to maximize the expected number of influenced users, has recently received significant attention for mass communication and commercial marketing.…
A novel hierarchical model of complex network is proposed, and information propagation process taking place on top of the network is investigated. Our model is demonstrated to have small world property. We found that the frequency…
