Given a pair of graphs $G_1$ and $G_2$ and a vertex set of interest in $G_1$, the vertex nomination (VN) problem seeks to find the corresponding vertices of interest in $G_2$ (if they exist) and produce a rank list of the vertices in $G_2$,…
Given a network and a subset of interesting vertices whose identities are only partially known, the vertex nomination problem seeks to rank the remaining vertices in such a way that the interesting vertices are ranked at the top of the…
Vertex nomination is a lightly-supervised network information retrieval task in which vertices of interest in one graph are used to query a second graph to discover vertices of interest in the second graph. Similar to other information…
Suppose that a graph is realized from a stochastic block model where one of the blocks is of interest, but many or all of the vertices' block labels are unobserved. The task is to order the vertices with unobserved block labels into a…
Consider two networks on overlapping, non-identical vertex sets. Given vertices of interest in the first network, we seek to identify the corresponding vertices, if any exist, in the second network. While in moderately sized networks graph…
Suppose that one particular block in a stochastic block model is of interest, but block labels are only observed for a few of the vertices in the network. Utilizing a graph realized from the model and the observed block labels, the vertex…
Vertex similarity is a major problem in network science with a wide range of applications. In this work we provide novel perspectives on finding (dis)similar vertices within a network and across two networks with the same number of vertices…
Consider an attributed graph whose vertices are colored green or red, but only a few are observed to be red. The color of the other vertices is unobserved. Typically, the unknown total number of red vertices is small. The vertex nomination…
Network embedding methodologies, which learn a distributed vector representation for each vertex in a network, have attracted considerable interest in recent years. Existing works have demonstrated that vertex representation learned through…
Vertex classification -- the problem of identifying the class labels of nodes in a graph -- has applicability in a wide variety of domains. Examples include classifying subject areas of papers in citation networks or roles of machines in a…
In many networks, vertices have hidden attributes, or types, that are correlated with the networks topology. If the topology is known but these attributes are not, and if learning the attributes is costly, we need a method for choosing…
Graph embedding is a transformation of nodes of a graph into a set of vectors. A~good embedding should capture the graph topology, node-to-node relationship, and other relevant information about the graph, its subgraphs, and nodes. If these…
Pairwise network comparison is essential for various applications, including neuroscience, disease research, and dynamic network analysis. While existing literature primarily focuses on comparing entire network structures, we address a…
The graph matching optimization problem is an essential component for many tasks in computer vision, such as bringing two deformable objects in correspondence. Naturally, a wide range of applicable algorithms have been proposed in the last…
We define and study greedy matchings in vertex-ordered bipartite graphs. It is shown that each vertex-ordered bipartite graph has a unique greedy matching. The proof uses (a weak form of) Newman's lemma. The vertex ordering is called a…
Our problem of interest is to cluster vertices of a graph by identifying underlying community structure. Among various vertex clustering approaches, spectral clustering is one of the most popular methods because it is easy to implement…
A Bayesian network is a widely used probabilistic graphical model with applications in knowledge discovery and prediction. Learning a Bayesian network (BN) from data can be cast as an optimization problem using the well-known…
Degree sequence (DS) problems are around for at least hundred twenty years, and with the advent of network science, more and more complicated, structured DS problems were invented. Interestingly enough all those problems so far are…
Selecting a connected subnetwork enriched in individually important vertices is an approach commonly used in many areas of bioinformatics, including analysis of gene expression data, mutations, metabolomic profiles and others. It can be…
Existing graph neural networks (GNNs) largely rely on node embeddings, which represent a node as a vector by its identity, type, or content. However, graphs with unattributed nodes widely exist in real-world applications (e.g., anonymized…
