Keywords: mobile phone datasets; big data analysis 1 Introduction As the Internet has been the technological breakthrough of the ’90s, mobile phones have changed our communication habits in the first decade of the twenty-first cen- tury. In a few years, the world coverage of mobile phone subscriptions has raised from 12% of the world population in 2000 up to 96% in 2014 – 6.8 billion subscribers – corresponding to a penetration of 128% in the developed world and 90% in de- veloping countries [1]. Mobile communication has initiated the decline of landline use – decreasing both in developing and developed world since 2005 – and allows people to be connected even in the most remote places of the world. In short, mobile phones are ubiquitous.

  • Multilevel Hierarchical Kernel Spectral Clustering for Real-Life Large
    Multilevel Hierarchical Kernel Spectral Clustering for Real-Life Large Scale Complex Networks Raghvendra Mall, Rocco Langone and Johan A.K. Suykens Department of Electrical Engineering, KU Leuven, ESAT-STADIUS, Kasteelpark Arenberg,10 B-3001 Leuven, Belgium {raghvendra.mall,rocco.langone,johan.suykens}@esat.kuleuven.be Abstract Kernel spectral clustering corresponds to a weighted kernel principal compo- nent analysis problem in a constrained optimization framework. The primal formulation leads to an eigen-decomposition of a centered Laplacian matrix at the dual level. The dual formulation allows to build a model on a repre- sentative subgraph of the large scale network in the training phase and the model parameters are estimated in the validation stage. The KSC model has a powerful out-of-sample extension property which allows cluster affiliation for the unseen nodes of the big data network. In this paper we exploit the structure of the projections in the eigenspace during the validation stage to automatically determine a set of increasing distance thresholds. We use these distance thresholds in the test phase to obtain multiple levels of hierarchy for the large scale network. The hierarchical structure in the network is de- termined in a bottom-up fashion. We empirically showcase that real-world networks have multilevel hierarchical organization which cannot be detected efficiently by several state-of-the-art large scale hierarchical community de- arXiv:1411.7640v2 [cs.SI] 2 Dec 2014 tection techniques like the Louvain, OSLOM and Infomap methods. We show a major advantage our proposed approach i.e. the ability to locate good quality clusters at both the coarser and finer levels of hierarchy using internal cluster quality metrics on 7 real-life networks.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. I.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus caijse a blurred image. You will find a good image of die page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etif., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet ang to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below tf e first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that thetextual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • Fast Community Detection Using Local Neighbourhood Search
    Fast community detection using local neighbourhood search Arnaud Browet,∗ P.-A. Absil, and Paul Van Dooren Universit´ecatholique de Louvain Department of Mathematical Engineering, Institute of Information and Communication Technologies, Electronics and Applied Mathematics (ICTEAM) Av. Georges Lema^ıtre 4-6, B-1348 Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium. (Dated: August 30, 2013) Communities play a crucial role to describe and analyse modern networks. However, the size of those networks has grown tremendously with the increase of computational power and data storage. While various methods have been developed to extract community structures, their computational cost or the difficulty to parallelize existing algorithms make partitioning real networks into commu- nities a challenging problem. In this paper, we propose to alter an efficient algorithm, the Louvain method, such that communities are defined as the connected components of a tree-like assignment graph. Within this framework, we precisely describe the different steps of our algorithm and demon- strate its highly parallelizable nature. We then show that despite its simplicity, our algorithm has a partitioning quality similar to the original method on benchmark graphs and even outperforms other algorithms. We also show that, even on a single processor, our method is much faster and allows the analysis of very large networks.

  • Principles of Tissue Fractionation
    1. Theoret. Biol. (1964) 6, 33-59 Principles of Tissue Fractionation CHRISTIAN DE DUVE Laboratory of Physiological Chemistry University of Louvain, Belgium and The Rockefeiler Institute, New York, N. Y., U.S.A. (Received 15 April 1963) This paper representsan attempt to develop logically the basic premises that tissuefractionation is : (a) a chemical method to be conducted according to the ground rules which govern chemical fractionation in general; (b) potentially applicable to the separationand characterization of all elements of cellular organization, whether known or unknown, which are not irretrievably lost in the initial grinding of the cells. It is shownthat the approach which best answersthese prerequisites is a purely analytical one, untrammeled by any preconceivedidea of the cyto- logical composition of the isolated fractions, and allowing their bio- chemicalproperties to be expressedas continuous functions of the physical parameterwhich determinesthe behaviour of subcellularcomponents in the fractionation systemchosen, Examples are given which illustrate the appli- cation of density gradient centrifugation in this type of approach, as well as the advantageswhich can be derived from the useof mediaof different composition. The resultsof suchexperiments are expressedin the form of distribution curves of biochemical constituents, as with other fractionation methods such as chromatography or electrophoresis,but with the differencethat the independent variable is related to a property, not of the constituent but of its host-particles. These curves can be taken to represent the mass distribution of the particles themselvesif the constituent is assumedto be homogeneouslydistributed amongstthem (postulateof biochemicalhomo- geneity). This assumptionhas been verified for a number of enzymes,which provide valuable markers to fix the position of their host-particleson the distribution diagrams.

  • A Weight-Based Information Filtration Algorithm for Stock-Correlation Networks
    A Weight-based Information Filtration Algorithm for Stock-Correlation Networks Seyed Soheil Hosseini, Nick Wormald ∗, and Tianhai Tian School of Mathematics, Monash University Abstract Several algorithms have been proposed to filter information on a complete graph of corre- lations across stocks to build a stock-correlation network. Among them the planar maximally filtered graph (PMFG) algorithm uses 3n − 6 edges to build a graph whose features include a high frequency of small cliques and a good clustering of stocks. We propose a new algo- rithm which we call proportional degree (PD) to filter information on the complete graph of normalised mutual information (NMI) across stocks. Our results show that the PD algorithm produces a network showing better homogeneity with respect to cliques, as compared to eco- nomic sectoral classification than its PMFG counterpart. We also show that the partition of the PD network obtained through normalised spectral clustering (NSC) agrees better with the NSC of the complete graph than the corresponding one obtained from PMFG. Finally, we show that the clusters in the PD network are more robust with respect to the removal of random sets of edges than those in the PMFG network. Key words— stock-correlation network, PD network, PMFG network, normalised mutual in- formation arXiv:1904.06007v1 [q-fin.ST] 12 Apr 2019 1 Introduction ‘Complex systems’ is the term referring to the study of systems with a significant number of com- ponents in which we want to find out how the relationships between those components affect the behaviour of the system.

That additional information is modeled by a fuzzy measure that represents the risk of polarization. Particularly, we are interested in dealing with the problem of taking into account the polarization of nodes in the community detection problem. Adding this type of information to the community detection problem makes it more realistic, as a community is more likely to be defined if the corresponding elements are willing to maintain a peaceful dialogue. The polarization capacity is modeled by a fuzzy measure based on the JDJpol measure of polarization related to two poles. We also present an efficient algorithm for finding groups whose elements are no polarized. Hereafter, we work in a real case. It is a network obtained from Twitter, concerning the political position against the Spanish government taken by Citation: Gutiérrez, I.; Guevara, J.A.; several influential users.
