. Some of these filters are Gabor-like and resemble those produced by the sparseness-maximization network. In addition, the outputs of these filters are as independent as possible, since this infomax network performs Independent Components Analysis or ICA, for sparse (super-gaussian) component

of the desired maximal cliques. We present experimental results on several real life social networks. Our results show that the preprocessing methods achieve significant reduction in the graph size. Also our algorithm has fewer intermediate steps and is faster than the competing algorithms adapted from

Clustering nodes in a graph is a useful general technique in data mining of large network data sets. In this context, Newman and Girvan [9] recently proposed an objective function for graph clustering called the Q function which allows automatic selection of the number of clusters. Empirically

Abstract: We propose a resource-sharing scheme that supports three kinds of sharing scenarios in a WDM mesh network with path-based protection and sparse OEO regeneration. Several approaches are used to maximize the sharing of wavelength-links and OEO regenerators. 02003 optical Society of America

patterns of phone owners can be exploited to optimize data forwarding efficiency. The question remains, how can we stimulate phone owners to serve as data relays? In this paper, we combine network science principles and Lyapunov optimization techniques, to maximize global social profit across this hybrid

statistical approximations, we developed new algorithms that permit the exact least squares estimation of all the effects in equation (2). These algorithms, which are based on the iterative conjugate gradient method, deal with the high dimensionality of the data by using sparse matrices. Our methods have some

, or principal components analysis, inappropriate for finding efficient codes for natural images. We suggest that a good objective for an efficient coding of natural scenes is to maximize the sparseness of the representation, and we show that a network that learns sparse codes of natural scenes succeeds

We present a mix network topology that is based on sparse expander graphs, with each mix only communicating with a few neighbouring others. We analyse the anonymity such networks provide, and compare it with fully connected mix networks and mix cascades. We prove that such a topology is efficient

Abstract The iterations of many sparse estimation algorithms are comprised of a fixed linear filter cascaded with a thresholding nonlinearity, which collectively resemble a typical neural network layer. Consequently, a lengthy sequence of algorithm iterations can be viewed as a deep network
