Maintenance scheduling of manufacturing systems based on optimal price of the network

Olga Fink

Goods can exhibit positive externalities impacting decisions of customers in social networks. Suppliers can integrate these externalities in their pricing strategies to increase their revenue. Besides optimizing the prize, suppliers also have to consider t ...

Opinion Formation over Adaptive Networks

Virginia Bordignon

An adaptive network consists of multiple communicating agents, equipped with sensing and learning abilities that allow them to extract meaningful information from measurements. The objective of the network is to solve a global inference problem in a decent ...

Investigating cognitive ability using action-based models of structural brain networks

Enrico Amico

Recent developments in network neuroscience have highlighted the importance of developing techniques for analysing and modelling brain networks. A particularly powerful approach for studying complex neural systems is to formulate generative models that use ...

Applicability of the landscape evolution model in the absence of rills

David Andrew Barry, Paolo Perona, Seifeddine Jomaa, Andrea Rinaldo, Mohsen Cheraghi, Andrea Cimatoribus

Despite numerous applications of physically-based models for incised landscapes, their applicability for overland flow on unchanneled surfaces is not known. This work challenges a widely used landscape evolution model for the case of non-uniform rainfall a ...

Information Retrieval Under Network Uncertainty: Robust Internet Ranking

Ralf Seifert, Anna Timonina-Farkas

Internet ranking algorithms play a crucial role in information technologies and numerical analysis due to their efficiency in high dimensions and wide range of possible applications, including scientometrics and systemic risk in finance (SinkRank, DebtRank ...

True scale-free networks hidden by finite size effects

Andrea Rinaldo, Samir Suweis, Amos Maritan

We analyze about 200 naturally occurring networks with distinct dynamical origins to formally test whether the commonly assumed hypothesis of an underlying scale-free structure is generally viable. This has recently been questioned on the basis of statisti ...

The physics of higher-order interactions in complex systems

Enrico Amico, Benedetta Franceschiello

Network representations of complex systems are limited to pairwise interactions, but real-world systems often involve higher-order interactions. This Perspective looks at the new physics emerging from attempts to characterize these interactions. ...

Turning crowds into communities: The collectives of online citizen science

Jérôme Baudry

Over the past two decades, a number of digital platforms have been developed with the aim of engaging citizens in scientific research projects. The success of these platforms depends in no small part on their ability to attract and retain participants, tur ...

Scale-dependent measure of network centrality from diffusion dynamics

Alexis Arnaudon

Classic measures of graph centrality capture distinct aspects of node importance, from the local (e.g., degree) to the global (e.g., closeness). Here we exploit the connection between diffusion and geometry to introduce a multiscale centrality measure. A n ...

Morphology and morphodynamics of braided rivers: an experimental investigation

Daniel Vito Papa

Braided rivers form some of the most fascinating fluvial patterns found on Earth. They are identifiable by their unique morphology of complex networks of intertwined channels that spread across wide floodplains. Detailed knowledge of their dynamics is need ...

MPGM: Scalable and Accurate Multiple Network Alignment

Matthias Grossglauser, Ehsan Kazemi

Protein-protein interaction (PPI) network alignment is a canonical operation to transfer biological knowledge among species. The alignment of PPI-networks has many applications, such as the prediction of protein function, detection of conserved network mot ...

WatchNet plus plus : efficient and accurate depth-based network for detecting people attacks and intrusion

Jean-Marc Odobez, Olivier Canévet, Michael Villamizar

We present an efficient and accurate people detection approach based on deep learning to detect people attacks and intrusion in video surveillance scenarios Unlike other approaches using background segmentation and pre-processing techniques, which are not ...

The organisation of science: topics, incentives and funding

Omar Ballester Gonzalez

Ever since the links between the development of new technologies and economic growth became evident, researchers have attempted to study how the creation of knowledge fosters progress. If pushing the frontier of knowledge has an impact on progress and well ...

Institutions and Incentives in Knowledge Production and Diffusion: From Science to Innovation

Charles Chadi Ayoubi

This thesis presents four essays providing novel empirical and theoretical insights on the incentives and institutional structures that favor knowledge production and diffusion. The first two studies analyze these processes in the realm of scientific resea ...

Unsupervised Robust Nonparametric Learning Of Hidden Community Properties

Akhilesh Deepak Gotmare, Martin Jaggi, Mikhail Langovoy

We consider learning of fundamental properties of communities in large noisy networks, in the prototypical situation where the nodes or users are split into two classes according to a binary property, e.g., according to their opinions or preferences on a t ...

Extrapolating Paths with Graph Neural Networks

Jean-Baptiste Francis Marie Juliette Cordonnier, Andreas Loukas

We consider the problem of path inference: given a path prefix, i.e., a partially observed sequence of nodes in a graph, we want to predict which nodes are in the missing suffix. In particular, we focus on natural paths occurring as a by-product of the int ...
