Influence maximization in stochastic and adversarial settings

Po-Ling Loh (University of Pennsylvania)
E18-304

Abstract: We consider the problem of influence maximization in fixed networks, for both stochastic and adversarial contagion models. In the stochastic setting, nodes are infected in waves according to linear threshold or independent cascade models. We establish upper and lower bounds for the influence of a subset of nodes in the network, where the influence…

Interpretable prediction models for network-linked data

Liza Levina (University of Michigan)
E18-304

Prediction problems typically assume the training data are independent samples, but in many modern applications samples come from individuals connected by a network. For example, in adolescent health studies of risk-taking behaviors, information on the subjects’ social networks is often available and plays an important role through network cohesion, the empirically observed phenomenon of friends…

Shotgun Assembly of Graphs

Elchanan Mossel (MIT)
E18-304

We will present some results and some open problems related to shotgun assembly of graphs for random generating models.Shotgun assembly of graphs is the problem of recovering a random graph or a randomly labelled graphs from small pieces. This problem generalizes the theoretically elegant and practically important problem of shotgun assembly of DNA sequences. The…
