中文简介:
在许多现实世界的场景中,几乎不可能收集明确的社交网络数据。在这种情况下,必须从基础观察中推断出整个网络。在这里,我们制定了基于网络扩散或疾病传播数据推断潜在社交网络的问题。我们认为传染病在一个未被观察到的社交网络的边缘传播,我们只观察节点被感染的时间,而不是那些感染它们的人。鉴于此类节点感染时间,我们然后确定最佳解释观察数据的最佳网络。我们提出了一种基于凸规划的最大似然法,它具有鼓励稀疏性的类似惩罚项。对实数和合成数据的实验表明,我们的方法接近完美地恢复了基础网络结构以及传染传播模型的参数。此外,我们的方法可以很好地扩展,因为它可以在几分钟内推断出数千个节点上的最佳网络。
课程简介: In many real-world scenarios, it is nearly impossible to collect explicit social network data. In such cases, whole networks must be inferred from underlying observations. Here, we formulate the problem of inferring latent social networks based on network diffusion or disease propagation data. We consider contagions propagating over the edges of an unobserved social network, where we only observe the times when nodes became infected, but not who infected them. Given such node infection times, we then identify the optimal network that best explains the observed data. We present a maximum likelihood approach based on convex programming with a1-like penalty term that encourages sparsity. Experiments on real and synthetic data reveal that our method near-perfectly recovers the underlying network structure as well as the parameters of the contagion propagation model. Moreover, our approach scales well as it can infer optimal networks on thousands of nodes in a matter of minutes.
