Talk: Scalable, Robust and Integrative Algorithms for Analyzing Big Network Data
Speaker: Dr. Xiang Zhang, Case Western Reserve University
Date: 4/11/16 Time: 10:30-11:30am Location: 366 WVH
Abstract:
Networks (or graphs) provide a natural data model for numerous applications ranging from social, web, scientific data to biological and medical data. The real-world networks are usually very large, noisy and collected in different domains. Motivated by these properties of the data, in this talk, I will focus on three important algorithmic issues in analyzing large network data, i.e., scalability, robustness and integrativeness. I will use query and clustering, which are of fundamental importance to many advanced tasks, as examples to illustrate how we address these issues. In particular, I will introduce a local search algorithm for proximity query, a node weighting method for local clustering, and the network of networks model for integrating multiple networks.
