STEPS 101

Reception prior to talk in Packard Lobby

Abstract:  Complex networks are ubiquitous in many domains.  Examples 
include technological, informational, social, and biological networks. In this talk, I will present an overview of models, algorithms, and tools that we have developed for learning and mining in such networked data. I will pay special attention to issues surrounding scalability, sparsity of labels, various levels of relational dependency, and performance consistency across assorted domains.
