Abstract. Estimating influence of a node is an important problem in social network analyses. We address this problem in a particular class of model for opinion propagation in whic...
In this study, nonnegative matrix factorization is recast as the problem of approximating a polytope on the probability simplex by another polytope with fewer facets. Working on th...
The paper addresses object localization via a distributed sensor network. A centralized estimation approach is undertaken along with a selective node activation strategy to ensure...
In this paper we use a Unified Relationship Matrix (URM) to represent a set of heterogeneous data objects (e.g., web pages, queries) and their interrelationships (e.g., hyperlinks...
