Community detection is a key task to further understand the function and the structure of complex networks. Therefore, a strategy used to assess this task must be able to avoid biased and incorrect results that might invalidate further…
An online labor platform faces an online learning problem in matching workers with jobs and using the performance on these jobs to create better future matches. This learning problem is complicated by the rise of complex tasks on these…
Machine learning is at the heart of managing the real-world problems associated with massive data. With the success of neural networks on such large-scale problems, more research in machine learning is being conducted now than ever before.…
Automatic solutions which enable the selection of the best algorithms for a new problem are commonly found in the literature. One research area which has recently received considerable efforts is Collaborative Filtering. Existing work…
The identification of community structure in a social network is an important problem tackled in the literature of network analysis. There are many solutions to this problem using a static scenario, when facing a dynamic scenario some…
Time series classification (TSC) is the problem of learning labels from time dependent data. One class of algorithms is derived from a bag of words approach. A window is run along a series, the subseries is shortened and discretised to form…
We study a problem of allocating divisible jobs, arriving online, to workers in a crowdsourcing setting which involves learning two parameters of strategically behaving workers. Each job is split into a certain number of tasks that are then…
Federated learning (FL) is a promising paradigm that can enable collaborative model training between vehicles while protecting data privacy, thereby significantly improving the performance of intelligent transportation systems (ITSs). In…
Crowdsourcing models applied to work on mobile devices continuously reach new ways of solving sophisticated problems, now with a use of portable advanced devices, where users are not limited to a stationary use. There exists an open problem…
An algorithm for the detection of overlapping natural communities in networks was proposed by Lancichinetti, Fortunato, and Kertesz (LFK) last year. The LFK algorithm constructs natural communities of (in principle) all nodes of a graph by…
Opportunistic networks could become the solution to provide communication support in both cities where the cellular network could be overloaded, and in scenarios where a fixed infrastructure is not available, like in remote and developing…
We propose a new formulation for the multi-robot task allocation problem that incorporates (a) complex precedence relationships between tasks, (b) efficient intra-task coordination, and (c) cooperation through the formation of robot…
Many real-world complex networks exhibit a community structure, in which the modules correspond to actual functional units. Identifying these communities is a key challenge for scientists. A common approach is to search for the network…
We derive rigorous bounds for well-defined community structure in complex networks for a stochastic block model (SBM) benchmark. In particular, we analyze the effect of inter-community "noise" (inter-community edges) on any "community…
Link prediction problem has increasingly become prominent in many domains such as social network analyses, bioinformatics experiments, transportation networks, criminal investigations and so forth. A variety of techniques has been developed…
Hypergraphs, describing networks where interactions take place among any number of units, are a natural tool to model many real-world social and biological systems. In this work we propose a principled framework to model the organization of…
The use of team for teaching programming can be effective in the classroom because it helps students to generate and acquire new knowledge in less time, but these groups to be formed without taking into account some respects, may cause an…
