Mobile phone data provides rich dynamic information on human activities in social network analysis. In this paper, we represent data from two different modalities as a graph and functions defined on the vertex set of the graph. We propose a regularization ...
Using a representative national sample of personal networks, this article explores how the spatial dispersion of networks, residential mobility and social support are linked. Three issues will be addressed here. Firstly, how is the spatial dispersion of pe ...

This paper presents experiments on the automatic recognition of roles in meetings. The proposed approach combines two sources of information: the lexical choices made by people playing different roles on one hand, and the Social Networks describing the int ...
To address privacy concerns in Online Social Networks (OSNs), we propose to use a distributed, peer-to-peer approach coupled with encryption. To verify the feasibility of such an approach, we designed a two-tiered architecture and protocols that recreate t ...
