Anomaly detection in temporal graph data: An iterative tensor decomposition and masking approach

Sensors and Internet-of-Things scenarios promise a wealth of interaction data that can be naturally represented by means of timevarying graphs. This brings forth new challenges for the identification and removal of temporal graph anomalies that entail complex correlations of topological features and activity patterns. Here we present an anomaly detection approach for temporal graph data based on an iterative tensor decomposition and masking procedure. We test this approach using highresolution social network data from wearable sensors and show that it successfully detects anomalies due to sensor wearing time protocols.published_or_final_versio

Age-specific seriousness of avian influenza A(H7N9) in the second-wave epidemic in China

Poster Presentations 2 - Diseases at the Interface of Humans, Wildlife and Other Animals: no. 23.049PURPOSE: In spring 2013, a novel avian influenza A(H7N9) emerged in China causing more than 130 human infections mostly in the eastern provinces. The hospital fatality risk of A(H7N9) were about 35% and caused severe illness especially in older patients. In winter 2013-14, a second wave of A(H7N9) began with higher burden in the southern provinces in China. We estimated the relative risk of serious illness of patients aged 65 or above in the second wave of A(H7N9) epidemic, accounting for potential age-specific differences in poultry exposure …published_or_final_versio
