Semi-supervised Embedding in Attributed Networks with Outliers
In this paper, we propose a novel framework, called Semi-supervised Embedding
in Attributed Networks with Outliers (SEANO), to learn a low-dimensional vector
representation that systematically captures the topological proximity,
attribute affinity and label similarity of vertices in a partially labeled
attributed network (PLAN). Our method is designed to work in both transductive
and inductive settings while explicitly alleviating noise effects from
outliers. Experimental results on various datasets drawn from the web, text and
image domains demonstrate the advantages of SEANO over state-of-the-art methods
in semi-supervised classification under transductive as well as inductive
settings. We also show that a subset of parameters in SEANO is interpretable as
outlier score and can significantly outperform baseline methods when applied
for detecting network outliers. Finally, we present the use of SEANO in a
challenging real-world setting -- flood mapping of satellite images and show
that it is able to outperform modern remote sensing algorithms for this task.Comment: in Proceedings of SIAM International Conference on Data Mining

Graph Summarization
The continuous and rapid growth of highly interconnected datasets, which are
both voluminous and complex, calls for the development of adequate processing
and analytical techniques. One method for condensing and simplifying such
datasets is graph summarization. It denotes a series of application-specific
algorithms designed to transform graphs into more compact representations while
preserving structural patterns, query answers, or specific property
distributions. As this problem is common to several areas studying graph
topologies, different approaches, such as clustering, compression, sampling, or
influence detection, have been proposed, primarily based on statistical and
optimization methods. The focus of our chapter is to pinpoint the main graph
summarization methods, but especially to focus on the most recent approaches
and novel research trends on this topic, not yet covered by previous surveys.Comment: To appear in the Encyclopedia of Big Data Technologie
