Graph alignment - identifying node correspondences between two graphs - is a fundamental problem with applications in network analysis, biology, and privacy research. While substantial progress has been made in aligning correlated…
User engagement has recently received significant attention in understanding the decay and expansion of communities in many online social networking platforms. When a user chooses to leave a social networking platform, it may cause a…
User connectivity patterns in network applications are known to be heterogeneous, and to follow periodic (daily and weekly) patterns. In many cases, the regularity and the correlation of those patterns is problematic: for network…
We propose a method for inferring human attributes (such as gender, hair style, clothes style, expression, action) from images of people under large variation of viewpoint, pose, appearance, articulation and occlusion. Convolutional Neural…
Graph neural networks (GNNs) have struggled to outperform traditional optimization methods on combinatorial problems, limiting their practical impact. We address this gap by introducing a novel chaining procedure for the graph alignment…
Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is a part of 5th generation (5G) communication systems. This article presents the underpinnings and underlying structures of the problem of NOMA user-channel allocation. Unlike the heuristics for NOMA…
This paper studies angle-based sensor network localization (ASNL) in a plane, which is to determine locations of all sensors in a sensor network, given locations of partial sensors (called anchors) and angle measurements obtained in the…
Social network alignment (SNA) holds significant importance for various downstream applications, prompting numerous professionals to develop and share SNA tools. Unfortunately, these tools can be exploited by malicious actors to integrate…
A Multilayer Network (MN) is a system consisting of several topological levels (i.e., layers) representing the interactions between the system's objects and the related interdependency. Therefore, it may be represented as a set of layers…
Multi-view anchor graph clustering selects representative anchors to avoid full pair-wise similarities and therefore reduce the complexity of graph methods. Although widely applied in large-scale applications, existing approaches do not pay…
Transformers achieve strong language modeling accuracy, yet their position-wise feed-forward networks (FFNs) are dense, globally shared, and typically updated end to end. These properties create two practical tensions. First, dense FFNs…
Pinching antennas, implemented by applying small dielectric particles on a waveguide, have emerged as a promising flexible-antenna technology ideal for next-generation wireless communications systems. Unlike conventional flexible-antenna…
Biological network alignment is currently in a state of disarray, with more than two dozen network alignment tools having been introduced in the past decade, with no clear winner, and other new tools being published almost quarterly. Part…
We propose a novel network that learns a part-aligned representation for person re-identification. It handles the body part misalignment problem, that is, body parts are misaligned across human detections due to pose/viewpoint change and…
Link prediction is a fundamental task in dynamic graph learning (DGL), inherently shaped by the topology of the DG. Recent advancements in dynamic graph neural networks (DGNN), primarily by modeling the relationships among nodes via a…
We study the estimation of peer effects through social networks when researchers do not observe the entire network structure. Special cases include sampled networks, censored networks, and misclassified links. We assume that researchers can…
Covert networks are social networks that often consist of harmful users. Social Network Analysis (SNA) has played an important role in reducing criminal activities (e.g., counter terrorism) via detecting the influential users in such…
With the rapid growth of online social networks, strengthening their stability has emerged as a key research focus. This study aims to identify influential relationships that significantly impact community stability. In this paper, we…
Network alignment (NA) is the task of discovering node correspondences across multiple networks. Although NA methods have achieved remarkable success in a myriad of scenarios, their effectiveness is not without additional information such…
Conformance checking techniques aim to provide diagnostics on the conformity between process models and event data. Conventional methods, such as trace alignments, assume strict total ordering of events, leading to inaccuracies when…
