Networks out of control
COM-512 / 6 crédits
Enseignant(s): Grossglauser Matthias, Thiran Patrick
Langue: Anglais
Remark: Cours biennal
Summary
The goal of this class is to acquire mathematical tools and engineering insight about networks whose structure is random, as well as learning and control techniques applicable to such network data.
Content
- Random graph models: Erdös-Renyi graphs, random regular graphs, random geometric graphs, small worlds, stochastic block model, power-laws and scale-free graphs.
- Learning graphs from data: centrality metrics, embeddings, network alignment, network motifs.
- Processes on graphs: bond/site percolation, bootstrap percolation, epidemics, navigation.
Keywords
Random graphs, network data, machine learning, graph processes.
