CS 6604: Selected Topics in Data Mining on Large Networks and Time-Series
Dr. Aditya Prakash 
Fall 2013

How do opinions get formed in online forums? Which people should we
immunize, to prevent an epidemic as fast as possible? Graphs---also
known as networks---—are powerful tools for modelling processes and
situations of interest in real-life like social-systems, cyber-security,
epidemiology and biology. They are ubiquitous, from online social
networks, gene-regulatory networks, to router graphs.

This course will cover recent research on the analysis of large networks
(both theoretical and empirical), algorithms behind network problems,
and their practical applications in various diverse settings. Topics
include diffusion and virus propagation in networks, community detection,
anomaly and outbreak detection and connections with work in public health
and social sciences.
