The structure of the network can be described by motifs, which are subgraphs that often repeat themselves. In order to understand the structure of network motifs, it is of great importance to study subgraphs from the perspective of…
Several approaches to cognition and intelligence research rely on statistics-based models testing, namely factor analysis. In the present work we exploit the emerging dynamical systems perspective putting the focus on the role of the…
Understanding the function of network motifs in an attempt to gain insight into how their combinations create larger reaction networks that drive cellular functions, has been a longstanding pursuit of systems biology. One specific objective…
In neural networks with identical neurons, the matrix of connection weights completely describes the network structure and thereby determines how it is processing information. However, due to the non-linearity of these systems, it is not…
In complex systems, groups of interacting objects may form prevalent and persistent spatiotemporal patterns, which we refer to as motifs. These motifs can exhibit features that reveal how individual objects interact with one another.…
A determinant property of the structure of a biological network is the distribution of local connectivity patterns, i.e., network motifs. In this work, a method for creating directed, unweighted networks while promoting a certain…
Investigating the frequency and distribution of small subgraphs with a few nodes/edges, i.e., motifs, is an effective analysis method for static networks. Motif-driven analysis is also useful for temporal networks where the spectrum of…
To any inhibition-dominated threshold-linear network (TLN) we can associate a directed graph that captures the pattern of strong and weak inhibition between neurons. Robust motifs are graphs for which the structure of fixed points in the…

The analysis of small recurrent substructures, so called network motifs, has become a standard tool of complex network science to unveil the design principles underlying the structure of empirical networks. In many natural systems network…
The identification of motifs--subgraphs that appear significantly more often in a particular network than in an ensemble of randomized networks--has become a ubiquitous method for uncovering potentially important subunits within networks…
A deluge of new data on social, technological and biological networked systems suggests that a large number of interactions among system units are not limited to pairs, but rather involve a higher number of nodes. To properly encode such…
The observation that some subgraphs, called motifs, appear more often in real networks than in their randomized counterparts has attracted much attention in the scientific community. In the prevalent approach the detection of motifs is…
Inspired by empirical studies of networked systems such as the Internet, social networks, and biological networks, researchers have in recent years developed a variety of techniques and models to help us understand or predict the behavior…
Detecting strong ties among users in social and information networks is a fundamental operation that can improve performance on a multitude of personalization and ranking tasks. Strong-tie edges are often readily obtained from the social…
Many data analysis problems rely on dynamic networks, such as social or communication network analyses. Providing a scalable overview of long sequences of such dynamic networks remains challenging due to the underlying large-scale data…
Analyzing and characterizing the differences between networks is a fundamental and challenging problem in network science. Previously, most network comparison methods that rely on topological properties have been restricted to measuring…
Physical and functional constraints on biological networks lead to complex topological patterns across multiple scales in their organization. A particular type of higher-order network feature that has received considerable interest is…
Networks are abundant in biological systems. Small sized over-represented network motifs have been discovered, and it has been suggested that these constitute functional building blocks. We ask whether larger dynamical network motifs exist…
Background: Networks in different domains are characterized by similar global characteristics while differing in local structures. To further extend this concept, we investigated network regularities on a fine scale in order to examine the…
