Neuroscientists are actively pursuing high-precision maps, or graphs, consisting of networks of neurons and connecting synapses in mammalian and non-mammalian brains. Such graphs, when coupled with physiological and behavioral data, are…

This paper considers the problem of inferring the structure of a network from indirect observations. Each observation (a "trace") is the unordered set of nodes which are activated along a path through the network. Since a trace does not…

Most empirical studies of complex networks do not return direct, error-free measurements of network structure. Instead, they typically rely on indirect measurements that are often error-prone and unreliable. A fundamental problem in…

We study the problem of inferring network topology from information cascades, in which the amount of time taken for information to diffuse across an edge in the network follows an unknown distribution. Unlike previous studies, which assume…
