A graph-based sampling and consensus (GraphSAC) approach is introduced to effectively detect anomalous nodes in large-scale graphs. Existing approaches rely on connectivity and attributes of all nodes to assign an anomaly score per node.…

We consider the problem of detecting a random walk on a graph, based on observations of the graph nodes. When visited by the walk, each node of the graph observes a signal of elevated mean, which we assume can be different across different…

Conditions are presented for different types of identifiability of discrete variable models generated over an undirected graph in which one node represents a binary hidden variable. These models can be seen as extensions of the latent class…
