Luca Aiello (Yahoo, UK)

Social Networks below the Surface: An Exploration of the Nature of Social Processes.

Graphs are powerful abstractions of interactions between entities that has allowed researchers to build rigorous models to describe the evolution of complex systems, especially social networks, and the dynamics of the phenomena that these systems support, such as the process of information exchange. The explosion of data from online social media has encouraged the often uncritical adoption of the notion of social tie as the atomic interaction quantum of any social network structure. However, links are not all created equal and, similarly, the information that spreads in networks is variegated in nature. In our work we aim at reaching a better understanding of the nature of social structures and of the information that is carried along them. We look at how a social network evolves by analyzing full longitudinal traces of link creation in large-scale social platforms, showing how the process of bonding can be biased by algorithmic artifacts (such as friendship recommender systems) that influence the creation of links in a way that can change the global structural properties of the network. Moreover, by operationalizing theories from social science, we provide evidence that links might be expression of very different social processes that reflect fundamentally different structural properties of the social graph. Then, by illustrating two specific case studies (the production of quality content and the diffusion of deviant content) we will show how content type, link types, and overall network structure are all connected and have effect on each another. With our work, we hope to convey the message that a more nuanced description of social structures and processes is needed to better understand human interactions and societies, both online and offline.

Quantifying the effects of online social networks on subjective well-being and mental health

The introduction of social media has had contradictory effects. As a social species we require social relations for our well-being, but recent results indicate that widespread social media use leads to increased feelings of dissatisfaction and reduced happiness. The key to this paradox may lie in the unequal distribution of social relations in social networks and how these distributions affect our collective and individual subjective well-being. In this talk I will discuss the results of our investigations into how large-scale social networks can affect societal happiness levels and how we can leverage social media data to quantify the morbidity and progression of mood disorders in the population.

Vulnerability to infections: applications for risk assessment in infection prevention and control

Our understanding of communicable diseases prevention and control is rooted in the theory of host population transmission dynamics. The network of host-to-host contacts along which transmission can occur drives the epidemiology of communicable diseases, determining how quickly they spread and who gets infected. A large body of epidemiological, mathematical and computational studies have provided a number of insights into the understanding of the process and the identification of efficient control strategies. The explosion of time resolved contact data has however opened the stage to new challenges. What are the structural and temporal aspects, and possibly their non-trivial interplay, that are critical for disease spread? To answer this question, I will introduce the infection propagator approach, a theoretical framework for the assessment of the degree of vulnerability of a host population to disease epidemics, once we account for the time variation of its contact pattern. By reinterpreting the tensor formalism of multi-layer networks, this approach allows the analytical computation of the epidemic threshold for an arbitrary time-varying network of host contacts, i.e. the critical pathogen transmissibility above which large-scale propagation occurs. I will apply this framework to a set of empirical time-varying contact networks and show how it can be used to test different intervention strategies for infection prevention and control in realistic settings.

Sifting through Measures on Networks: From a Theoretical Framework to an Empirical Guide

In this talk, I will discuss two problems on network data. (1) Measuring tie-strength: Given a set of people and a set of events attended by them, how should we measure connectedness or tie strength between each pair of persons? The underlying assumption is that attendance at mutual events produces an implicit social network between people. I will describe an axiomatic solution to this problem. (2) Measuring similarity between networks: Given two networks (without known node-correspondences), how should we measure similarity between them? This problem occurs frequently in many real-world applications such as transfer learning, re-identification, and change detection. I will present an empirical guide on how to select a network-similarity method.

The Virtual Brain: biologically realistic network modeling merging structure and dynamics

Over the past decade we have demonstrated that the fusion of subject-specific structural information of the human brain with mathematical dynamic models allows building biologically realistic brain network models, which have a predictive value, beyond the explanatory power of each approach independently. The network nodes hold neural population models, which are derived using mean field techniques from statistical physics expressing ensemble activity via collective variables. This approach has been successfully applied to the modeling of the resting state dynamics of individual human brains, as well as clinical situations including stroke and epilepsy research. In epilepsy, we reconstruct personalized connectivity matrices of human epileptic patients using Diffusion Tensor weighted Imaging (DTI). Subsets of brain regions generating seizures in patients with refractory partial epilepsy are referred to as the epileptogenic zone (EZ). During a seizure, paroxysmal activity is not restricted to the EZ, but may recruit other brain regions and propagate activity through large brain networks, which comprise brain regions that are not necessarily epileptogenic. The identification of the EZ is crucial for candidates for neurosurgery and requires unambiguous criteria that evaluate the degree of epileptogenicity of brain regions. Stability analyses of propagating waves provide a set of indices quantifying the degree of epileptogenicity and predict conditions, under which seizures propagate to nonepileptogenic brain regions, explaining the responses to intracerebral electric stimulation in epileptogenic and nonepileptogenic areas. We demonstrate the predictive value of our seizure propagation model by validating it against empirical patient data.  In conjunction, our results provide guidance in the presurgical evaluation of epileptogenicity based on electrographic signatures in intracerebral electroencephalograms.

Contagion Processes on Multilayer Networks

This talk will deal with two of the most representative and studied dynamical processes on networks: disease contagion and information spreading. We will first summarize some basic and fundamental results concerning disease and information spreading in single-layered networks. Then, we will increasingly add complexity to the models, in the form of more sophisticated analyses on so called multilayer networks, which are made up by more than one layer and represent more accurately several real-world systems where disease spreading or information contagion/diffusion is most relevant.

Digital traces and participation for forecasting the flu

The ability to rapidly recognize and respond to both global and local health threats remains a critical public health priority. The ever-growing digital world represents an unprecedented opportunity to harvest for tools to face emerging and re-emerging public health issues. This digital means of disease and, more in general, health and behavior-related information detection has been made possible by the growing influence of Internet technology, which has significantly changed the landscape of public health surveillance, epidemic intelligence gathering and forecasting of epidemic spreading. Informal digital channels such as social networking sites, blogs, chat rooms, Web searches, local news media, crowdsourcing platforms have been credited with providing information that are not easily accessible by more traditional channels, such as census or traditional surveillance. We have explored how digital traces left by humans interacting with each other on the web (i.e. geo-located Twitter data used to extract mobility patterns on a Europe-wide scale) and voluntarily provided self reports on health related matters (self reported Influenza-like Illness symptoms to detect in real time and with high geographical resolution the seeds for seasonal influenza outbreaks) can become a crucial tool in informing dynamical models for epidemic spreading on a national and global scale.

Jari Saramäki (Aalto University, Finland)

Social networks, time, and individual differences

In the traditional “bare-bones” network approach, nodes are nodes and links and links, and that is all there is. For social networks, this means that individuals are distinguishable only on the basis of their network characteristics (degree, centrality, etc). However, we all know that people are different and behave in different ways. These differences can be approached with more fine-grained behavioural data, in particular with the help of data on time-stamped interactions that allow constructing dynamic and temporal social networks. In this talk, I will focus on exploring individual differences with the help of temporal data on electronic interactions (calls, emails, etc). I will first talk about longer timescales and the similarities and differences in how we maintain our personal networks. Then, I will focus on shorter timescales of circadian patterns, and show how various data sets reveal chronotypes of individuals (morning/evening-active persons) and chronotype compositions of populations.

From the physics of reaction-diffusion processes in complex networks to infectious disease forecast

Mathematical and computational methods have gained importance in the public-health domain, especially in epidemic modeling, by providing quantitative analysis in support of the policy-making processes. At the same time, the epidemic modeling metaphor has been introduced to describe a wide array of different phenomena. The spread of information, cultural norms, and social behavior can be all conceptually modeled as a contagion process. Although the basic mechanisms of each phenomenon are different, their effective mathematical description often defines similar constitutive equations and dynamical behaviors framed in the general theory of reaction-diffusion processes. In this lecture I will review the theoretical framework developed in recent years to understand the dynamic of reaction-diffusion processes in expanded schemes that explicitly include the many realistic features that characterize human mobility behavior, and complex interactions patterns. I will also discuss how this framework is at the core of data-driven computational approaches that, through the integration of large-scale data sets and the explicit simulation of entire populations down to the scale of single individuals, are successfully used in the analysis and forecast of real epidemics.

Tutorial

Foster Provost (New York University)

Predictive Modeling with Social Networks

Over the past decade there has been a surge of interest in methods for analyzing complex social networks: from communication networks, to friendship networks, to professional and organizational networks.  For predictive modeling, the dependencies among linked entities in the networks present an opportunity to improve inference about properties of individuals, as birds of a feather do indeed flock together. For example, when estimating whom to target with a product offer, who is likely to leave the organization, who has committed financial malfeasance, and many more aspects of individuals, it often is quite helpful to consider the status of people's friends along these dimensions, and even more interestingly, our predictions about the status of people's friends. This tutorial will explore the unique opportunities and challenges for predictive modeling with social network data. We will begin with a description of the problem setting, including examples of various applications of social network mining (e.g., targeted marketing, on-line advertising, churn prediction, financial malfeasance, fraud detection).  We will then present a number of characteristics of social network data that differentiate them from the traditional settings for inference and learning, and outline the resulting opportunities for significantly improved inference and learning. We will discuss specific techniques for capitalizing on each of the opportunities in statistical models, and outline both methodological issues and potential modeling pathologies that are unique to network data.
The focus in this tutorial will be to cover the basics, to discuss real applications and results where possible, and to provide a framework for understanding the more advanced concepts.  We also will provide supplemental material on more advanced concepts, including links to the literature.
Prerequisites: The tutorial assumes a basic knowledge of statistical inference, predictive modeling, and machine learning.
