The widespread use of online social networks (e.g., Facebook) increases the interest of researchers on how influence propagates through these networks. One of the most important research issues in this field is the so-called influence maximization problem, which essentially consists in selecting the most influential users (i.e., those who are able to maximize the spread of influence through the social network). Due to its practical importance in various applications (e.g., viral marketing), such a problem has been studied in several variants. Nevertheless, the current open challenge in the resolution of the influence maximization problem still concerns achieving a good trade-off between accuracy and computational time. In this context, based on independent cascade modeling of social networks, we propose a novel low-complexity and highly accurate algorithm for selecting an initial group of nodes to maximize the spread of influence in large-scale networks. In particular, the key idea consists in iteratively removing the overlap of influence spread induced by different seed nodes. The application to several numerical experiments based on real datasets proves that the proposed algorithm effectively finds practical near-optimal solutions of the addressed influence maximization problem in a computationally efficient fashion. Finally, the comparison with the state of the art algorithms demonstrates that in large scale scenarios the proposed approach shows higher performance in terms of influence spread and running time.","PeriodicalId":355781,"journal":{"name":"2020 7th International Conference on Control, Decision and Information Technologies (CoDIT)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134157877","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, preliminary but nontrivial analyses of flux measurements produced in a Tokamak machine are shown and discussed, with the aim of introducing an application of some algorithms for feature selection to detect hidden, relevant relationships within given sets of channels. All the statistical details, and therefore the feature selection procedure itself, are introduced in view of further deepenings, such as the aforementioned problem of tomographically reconstructing plasma profiles from flux measurements or modelling the system in terms of its input-output relationship.","PeriodicalId":355781,"journal":{"name":"2020 7th International Conference on Control, Decision and Information Technologies (CoDIT)","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130980262","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nowadays, one of the most critical issues is the misalignment between the needs of the companies and the actual competences of the workers.

This paper presents a novel method for recognizing and finding anomalies in complex networks. Specifically, it targets multi-layer social network data aiming at finding abnormal behavior of some (groups of) nodes in the network. The method starts by measuring the centrality of all nodes in each layer of the multi-layer network, continues by applying many-objective optimization with full enumeration based on minimization, and obtains the Pareto Front. Objective functions to be optimized simultaneously are the centrality of each layer in the network and thus, the number of objective function are the numbers of existing layers of a multi-layer networks. After the Pareto Front settles, the set of nodes in the Pareto Front are considered as a basis for finding the set of suspected anomaly nodes, using the novel ACE-Score. The ACE-Score is calculated by considering the centrality of a node in the i - th layer, the mean of the centrality in that layer, the standard deviation, and the edge density of each layer. A high ACE-Score then indicates candidate anomalous nodes. We evaluate the approach on generated synthetic network as well as real-world complex networks, demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed approach. A key feature of our proposed approach is its interpretability and explainability, since we can directly assess anomalous nodes with respect to the network topology.","PeriodicalId":355781,"journal":{"name":"2020 7th International Conference on Control, Decision and Information Technologies (CoDIT)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132993563","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition, the estimated measurement is utilized to update the mode probability in IMM-based filter when the current measurement is not available to the remote estimators.
