Given a set of variables and the correlations among them, we develop a method for finding clustering among the variables. The method takes advantage of information implicit in higher-order (not just pairwise) correlations. The idea is to…

The topology of production networks determines the propagation mechanisms of local shocks and thus the co-movement of industries. As a result, we need a more precisely defined production network to model economic growth accurately. In this…

We propose a multi-phase approach to explore network structures. In this method, structure analysis is not carried out on the observed network directly. Instead, certain similarity measures of the nodes are derived from the network firstly,…

Rapid technological innovation threatens to leave much of the global workforce behind. Today's economy juxtaposes white-hot demand for skilled labor against stagnant employment prospects for workers unprepared to participate in a digital…

Node copying is an important mechanism for network formation, yet most models assume uniform copying rules. Motivated by observations of heterogeneous triadic closure in real networks, we introduce the concept of a hidden network model - a…
