The clustering coefficient of a node in a social network is a fundamental measure that quantifies how tightly-knit the community is around the node. Its computation can be reduce...
We formulate and study a decentralized multi-armed bandit (MAB) problem. There are distributed players competing for independent arms. Each arm, when played, offers i.i.d. reward a...
Many online networks are measured and studied via sampling techniques, which typically collect a relatively small fraction of nodes and their associated edges. Past work in this a...

Despite recent advances in uncovering the quantitative features of stationary human activity patterns, many applications, from pandemic prediction to emergency response, require a...
Multiple data sources containing different types of features may be available for a given task. For instance, users’ profiles can be used to build recommendation systems. In a...
