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…
Location-based social network data offers the promise of collecting the data from a large base of users over a longer span of time at negligible cost. While several studies have applied social network data to activity and mobility analysis,…
The number of people on social networks has grown exponentially. Users share very large volumes of personal informations and content every days. This content could be tagged with geo-spatial and temporal coordinates that may be considered…
We are witnessing an enormous growth in the volume of data generated by various online services. An important portion of this data contains geographic references, since many of these services are \emph{location-enhanced} and thus produce…
The prosperity of location-based social networking services enables geo-social group queries for group-based activity planning and marketing. This paper proposes a new family of geo-social group queries with minimum acquaintance constraint…
The rapid growth of location-based services(LBSs)has greatly enriched people's urban lives and attracted millions of users in recent years. Location-based social networks(LBSNs)allow users to check-in at a physical location and share daily…
Community networks (CNs) have seen an increase in the last fifteen years. Their members contact nodes which operate Internet proxies, web servers, user file storage and video streaming services, to name a few. Detecting communities of nodes…
A $k$-clique is a dense graph, consisting of $k$ fully-connected nodes, that finds numerous applications, such as community detection and network analysis. In this paper, we study a new problem, that finds a maximum set of disjoint…
Despite the overwhelming success of the existing Social Networking Services (SNS), their centralized ownership and control have led to serious concerns in user privacy, censorship vulnerability and operational robustness of these services.…
The data scarcity of user preferences and the cold-start problem often appear in real-world applications and limit the recommendation accuracy of collaborative filtering strategies. Leveraging the selections of social friends and foes can…
We consider a practical top-k route search problem: given a collection of points of interest (POIs) with rated features and traveling costs between POIs, a user wants to find k routes from a source to a destination and limited in a cost…
Subgraph matching is a core task in graph analytics, widely used in domains such as biology, finance, and social networks. Existing top-k diversified methods typically focus on maximizing vertex coverage, but often return results in the…
Conventional recommendation systems (RSs) are typically optimized to enhance performance metrics uniformly across all training samples. This makes it hard for data-driven RSs to cater to a diverse set of users due to the varying properties…
In many instances one may want to gain situational awareness in an environment by monitoring the content of local social media users. Often the challenge is how to build a set of users from a target location. Here we introduce a method for…
Next Point-of-Interest (POI) recommendation is of great value for both location-based service providers and users. Recently Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) have been proved to be effective on sequential recommendation tasks. However,…
The strategic placement of bike-sharing infrastructure shapes urban accessibility and mobility outcomes. However, station-allocation approaches vary in their assumptions and decision logic. This study examines how alternative modelling…
Conventional recommendation systems (RSs) are typically optimized to enhance performance metrics uniformly across all training samples, inadvertently overlooking the needs of diverse user populations. The performance disparity among various…
In this paper, we propose and study the problem of top-m rank aggregation of spatial objects in streaming queries, where, given a set of objects O, a stream of spatial queries (kNN or range), the goal is to report m objects with the highest…
Accurate localization in diverse environments is a fundamental challenge in computer vision and robotics. The task involves determining a sensor's precise position and orientation, typically a camera, within a given space. Traditional…
The tremendous popularity gained by Online Social Networks (OSNs) raises natural concerns about user privacy in social media platforms. Though users in OSNs can tune their privacy by deliberately deciding what to share, the interaction with…
