A Simple Algorithm for Scalable Monte Carlo Inference
The methods of statistical physics are widely used for modelling complex networks.
Community detection in graphs
The modern science of networks has brought significant advances to our understanding of complex systems.
Semantics derived automatically from language corpora contain human-like biases
Here we show for the first time that human-like semantic biases result from the application of standard machine learning to ordinary language---the same sort of language humans are exposed to every day.
A network approach to topic models
By adapting existing community-detection methods -- using a stochastic block model (SBM) with non-parametric priors -- we obtain a more versatile and principled framework for topic modeling (e. g., it automatically detects the number of topics and hierarchically clusters both the words and documents).
Latent Variable Time-varying Network Inference
The estimation of the contribution of the latent factors is embedded in the model which produces both sparse and low-rank components for each time point.
A Recurrent Graph Neural Network for Multi-Relational Data
The era of data deluge has sparked the interest in graph-based learning methods in a number of disciplines such as sociology, biology, neuroscience, or engineering.
On the Long-term Impact of Algorithmic Decision Policies: Effort Unfairness and Feature Segregation through Social Learning
Most existing notions of algorithmic fairness are one-shot: they ensure some form of allocative equality at the time of decision making, but do not account for the adverse impact of the algorithmic decisions today on the long-term welfare and prosperity of certain segments of the population.
Adversarial Balancing-based Representation Learning for Causal Effect Inference with Observational Data
The challenges for this problem are two-fold: on the one hand, we have to derive a causal estimator to estimate the causal quantity from observational data, where there exists confounding bias; on the other hand, we have to deal with the identification of CATE when the distribution of covariates in treatment and control groups are imbalanced.
Efficient comparison of independence structures of log-linear models
Our method relies only on the independence structure of the models, which is useful when the interest lies in obtaining knowledge from said structure, or when comparing the performance of structure learning algorithms, among other possible uses.
A Distributed Hybrid Community Detection Methodology for Social Networks
Nowadays, the amount of digitally available information has tremendously grown, with real-world data graphs outreaching the millions or even billions of vertices.
