Quantifying biomechanical properties of the human vasculature could deepen our understanding of cardiovascular diseases. Standard nonlinear regression in constitutive modeling requires considerable high-quality data and an explicit form of…

In this paper we devise a generative random network model with core-periphery properties whose core nodes act as sublinear dominators, that is, if the network has $n$ nodes, the core has size $o(n)$ and dominates the entire network. We show…

Communities in networks are commonly considered as highly cohesive subgraphs which are well separated from the rest of the network. However, cohesion and separation often cannot be maximized at the same time, which is why a compromise is…

A key topic in network science is the detection of intermediate or meso-scale structures. Community, core-periphery, disassortative and other partitions allow us to understand the organisation and function of large networks. In this work we…

Achieving state-of-the-art results in face verification systems typically hinges on the availability of labeled face training data, a resource that often proves challenging to acquire in substantial quantities. In this research endeavor, we…

Discovering a unique causal structure is difficult due to both inherent identifiability issues, and the consequences of finite data. As such, uncertainty over causal structures, such as those obtained from a Bayesian posterior, are often…

Multilayer networks allow one to represent diverse and coupled connectivity patterns --- e.g., time-dependence, multiple subsystems, or both --- that arise in many applications and which are difficult or awkward to incorporate into standard…

Nanopore sensors detect the substructure of individual molecules from modulations in an ion current as molecules pass through them. In this work, we present the classification of features in the substructure as a case study to illustrate…

Recently, nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) has been widely adopted for community detection, because of its better interpretability. However, the existing NMF-based methods have the following three problems: 1) they directly transform…

We propose a method that meta-learns a knowledge on matrix factorization from various matrices, and uses the knowledge for factorizing unseen matrices. The proposed method uses a neural network that takes a matrix as input, and generates…

In this paper, we present a novel non-parametric clustering technique. Our technique is based on the notion that each latent cluster is comprised of layers that surround its core, where the external layers, or border points, implicitly…

Nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) with group sparsity constraints is formulated as a probabilistic graphical model and, assuming some observed data have been generated by the model, a feasible variational Bayesian algorithm is derived…

Variational Bayesian Inference is a popular methodology for approximating posterior distributions over Bayesian neural network weights. Recent work developing this class of methods has explored ever richer parameterizations of the…
