Network community-detection enhancement by proper weighting

Martin Hasler, Ali Ajdari Rad, Alireza Khadivi

In this article, we show how proper assignment of weights to the edges of a complex network can enhance the detection of communities and how it can circumvent the resolution limit and the extreme degeneracy problems associated with modularity. Our general ...

Towards better entity resolution techniques for Web document collections

Karl Aberer, Zoltán Miklós, Surender Reddy Yerva

As person names are non-unique, the same name on different Web pages might or might not refer to the same real-world person. This entity identification problem is one of the most challenging issues in realizing the Semantic Web or entity-oriented search. W ...

Efficient Processing of Ranking Queries in Novel Applications

Parisa Haghani

Ranking queries, which return only a subset of results matching a user query, have been studied extensively in the past decade due to their importance in a wide range of applications. In this thesis, we study ranking queries in novel environments and setti ...

Path Prediction and Predictive Range Querying in Spatial Network Databases

Ho Young Jeung

In automotive applications, movement-path prediction enables the delivery of predictive and relevant services to drivers, e.g., reporting traffic conditions and gas stations along the route ahead. Path prediction also enables better results of predictive r ...

A tractable analytical model for large-scale congested protein synthesis networks

Michel Bierlaire, Carolina Osorio Pizano

This paper presents a finite capacity queueing network model to evaluate congestion in protein synthesis networks. These networks are modeled as single server bufferless queues in a tandem topology. The model approximates the marginal stationary distributi ...
