Influence maximization (IM) is formulated as selecting a set of initial users from a social network to maximize the expected number of influenced users. Researchers have made great progress in designing various traditional methods, and…

Given a hypergraph, influence maximization (IM) is to discover a seed set containing $k$ vertices that have the maximal influence. Although the existing vertex-based IM algorithms perform better than the hyperedge-based algorithms by…

Influence maximization (IM) is the task of finding the most important nodes in order to maximize the spread of influence or information on a network. This task is typically studied on static or temporal networks where the complete topology…

Influence maximization (IM) is the problem of finding a seed vertex set that maximizes the expected number of vertices influenced under a given diffusion model. Due to the NP-Hardness of finding an optimal seed set, approximation algorithms…

A hitting set for a collection of sets is a set that has a non-empty intersection with each set in the collection; the hitting set problem is to find a hitting set of minimum cardinality. Motivated by instances of the hitting set problem…

Since the structure of complex networks is often unknown, we may identify the most influential seed nodes by exploring only a part of the underlying network, given a small budget for node queries. We propose IM-META, a solution to influence…

The mixing time of a graph is an important metric, which is not only useful in analyzing connectivity and expansion properties of the network, but also serves as a key parameter in designing efficient algorithms. We introduce a new notion…

Community detection is an important task in network analysis. A community (also referred to as a cluster) is a set of cohesive vertices that have more connections inside the set than outside. In many social and information networks, these…

Most networks tend to show complex and multiple relationships between entities. Networks are usually modeled by graphs or hypergraphs; nonetheless a given entity can occur many times in a relationship: this brings the need to deal with…

The problem of selecting an optimal seed set to maximise influence in networks has been a subject of intense research in recent years. However, despite numerous works addressing this area, it remains a topic that requires further…

Propagation of contagion through networks is a fundamental process. It is used to model the spread of information, influence, or a viral infection. Diffusion patterns can be specified by a probabilistic model, such as Independent Cascade…

Paper proposes a model of large networks based on a random preferential attachment graph with addition of complete subgraphs (cliques). The proposed model refers to models of random graphs following the nonlinear preferential attachment…

Given a network and a set of vertices called seeds to initially inject information, influence spread is the expected number of vertices that eventually receive the information under a certain stochastic model of information propagation.…

The spread of influence in networks is a topic of great importance in many application areas. For instance, one would like to maximise the coverage, limiting the budget for marketing campaign initialisation and use the potential of social…

Recently an increasing amount of research is devoted to the question of how the most influential nodes (seeds) can be found effectively in a complex network. There are a number of measures proposed for this purpose, for instance,…

This paper is concerned with distributed computation of several commonly used centrality measures in complex networks. In particular, we propose deterministic algorithms, which converge in finite time, for the distributed computation of the…

Hitting times provide a fundamental measure of distance in random processes, quantifying the expected number of steps for a random walk starting at node $u$ to reach node $v$. They have broad applications across domains such as network…

$H$-Packing is the problem of finding a maximum number of vertex-disjoint copies of $H$ in a given graph $G$. $H$-Partition is the special case of finding a set of vertex-disjoint copies that cover each vertex of $G$ exactly once. Our goal…

Recent works leveraging Graph Neural Networks to approach graph matching tasks have shown promising results. Recent progress in learning discrete distributions poses new opportunities for learning graph matching models. In this work, we…

High-dimensional feature selection is a central problem in a variety of application domains such as machine learning, image analysis, and genomics. In this paper, we propose graph-based tests as a useful basis for feature selection. We…
