Zhang, S. (author), Hanjalic, A. (author), Wang, H. (author)Nodal spreading influence is the capability of a node to activate the rest of the network when it is the seed of spreading. Combining nodal properties (centrality metrics) derived from local and global topological information respectively has been shown to better predict nodal influence than using a single metric. In this work, we investigate...journal article 2024

Zhang, T. (author), El Ali, Abdallah (author), Wang, Chen (author), Hanjalic, A. (author), Cesar, Pablo (author)Instead of predicting just one emotion for one activity (e.g., video watching), fine-grained emotion recognition enables more temporally precise recognition. Previous works on fine-grained emotion recognition require segment-by-segment, fine-grained emotion labels to train the recognition algorithm. However, experiments to collect these...journal article 2023

Zou, L. (author), Zhan, Xiu xiu (author), Sun, Jie (author), Hanjalic, A. (author), Wang, H. (author)Temporal networks refer to networks like physical contact networks whose topology changes over time. Predicting future temporal network is crucial e.g., to forecast the epidemics. Existing prediction methods are either relatively accurate but black-box, or white-box but less accurate. The lack of interpretable and accurate prediction methods...journal article 2022

Fernández Robledo, O. (author), Zhan, X. (author), Hanjalic, A. (author), Wang, H. (author)Multiple network embedding algorithms have been proposed to perform the prediction of missing or future links in complex networks. However, we lack the understanding of how network topology affects their performance, or which algorithms are more likely to perform better given the topological properties of the network. In this paper, we...journal article 2022

Wang, X. (author), Qiao, T. (author), Zhu, Jihua (author), Hanjalic, A. (author), Scharenborg, O.E. (author)Text-based technologies, such as text translation from one language to another, and image captioning, are gaining popularity. However, approximately half of the world's languages are estimated to be lacking a commonly used written form. Consequently, these languages cannot benefit from text-based technologies. This paper presents 1) a new...journal article 2021

Bi, Jialin (author), Jin, Ji (author), Qu, Cunquan (author), Zhan, X. (author), Wang, Guanghui (author), Yan, Guiying (author)Identifying important nodes in networks is essential to analysing their structure and understanding their dynamical processes. In addition, myriad real systems are time-varying and can be represented as temporal networks. Motivated by classic gravity in physics, we propose a temporal gravity model to identify important nodes in temporal...journal article 2021

Wang, X. (author), Qiao, T. (author), Zhu, Jihua (author), Hanjalic, A. (author), Scharenborg, O.E. (author)An estimated half of the world’s languages do not have a written form, making it impossible for these languages to benefit from any existing text-based technologies. In this paper, a speech-to-image generation (S2IG) framework is proposed which translates speech descriptions to photo-realistic images without using any text information, thus...conference paper 2020

Zhan, X. (author), Hanjalic, A. (author), Wang, H. (author)In this paper, we explore how to effectively suppress the diffusion of (mis)information via blocking/removing the temporal contacts between selected node pairs. Information diffusion can be modelled as, e.g., an SI (Susceptible-Infected) spreading process, on a temporal social network: an infected (information possessing) node spreads the...conference paper 2020

Wang, Tan (author), Hanjalic, A. (author), Xu, Xing (author), Shen, Heng Tao (author), Yang, Yang (author), Song, Jingkuan (author)A major challenge in matching images and text is that they have intrinsically different data distributions and feature representations. Most existing approaches are based either on embedding or classification, the first one mapping image and text instances into a common embedding space for distance measuring, and the second one regarding...conference paper 2019

Zhan, X. (author), Hanjalic, A. (author), Wang, H. (author)Progress has been made in understanding how temporal network features affect the percentage of nodes reached by an information diffusion process. In this work, we explore further: which node pairs are likely to contribute to the actual diffusion of information, i.e., appear in a diffusion trajectory? How is this likelihood related to the...journal article 2019

Liu, L. (author), Qu, B. (author), Chen, Bin (author), Hanjalic, A. (author), Wang, H. (author)Traces of user activities recorded in online social networks open new possibilities to systematically understand the information diffusion process on social networks. From the online social network WeChat, we collected a large number of information cascade trees, each of which tells the spreading trajectory of a message/information such as which...journal article 2018

(author)DNSSEC offers protection against spoofing of DNS data by providing origin authentication, ensuring data integrity and authentication of non-existence by using public-key cryptography. Although the relevance of securing a technology as crucial to the Internet as DNS is obvious, the DNSSEC implementation increases the complexity of the deployed...journal article 2015

Liu, M. (author), Li, D. (author), Qin, P. (author), Liu, C. (author), Wang, H. (author), Wang, F. (author)Networks can be used to describe the interconnections among individuals, which play an important role in the spread of disease. Although the small-world effect has been found to have a significant impact on epidemics in single networks, the small-world effect on epidemics in interconnected networks has rarely been considered. Here, we study the...journal article 2015

Li, C. (author), Li, Q. (author), Van Mieghem, P.F.A. (author), Stanley, H.E. (author), Wang, H.

In order to understand the correlations between centrality metrics and to approximate a high-complexity centrality metric by a strongly correlated low-complexity metric, we first study the correlation...journal article 2015

Wang, C. (author), Hindriks, K.V. (author), Babuska, R. (author)Learning object affordances and manipulation skills is essential for developing cognitive service robots. We propose an active affordance learning approach in continuous state and action spaces without manual discretization of states or exploratory motor primitives. During exploration in the action space, the robot learns a forward model to...conference paper 2014

Qu, B. (author), Li, Q. (author), Havlin, S. (author), Stanley, E. (author), Wang, H. (author)Dynamic social opinion models have been widely studied on undirected networks, and most of them are based on spin interaction models that produce a consensus. In reality, however, many networks such as Twitter and the World Wide Web are directed and are composed of both unidirectional and bidirectional links. Moreover, from choosing a coffee...journal article 2014

Li, C. (author), Wang, H. (author), Van Mieghem, P.F.A. (author)Epidemics have so far been mostly studied in undirected networks. However, many real-world networks, such as the online social network Twitter and the world wide web, on which information, emotion, or malware spreads, are directed networks, composed of both unidirectional links and bidirectional links. We define the directionality ? as the...journal article 2013

Wang, H. (author), Li, Q. (author), D'Agostino, G. (author), Havlin, S. (author), Stanley, H.E. (author), Van Mieghem, P. (author)Most real-world networks are not isolated. In order to function fully, they are interconnected with other networks, and this interconnection influences their dynamic processes. For example, when the spread of a disease involves two species, the dynamics of the spread within each species (the contact network) differs from that of the spread...journal article 2013

Trajanovski, S. (author), Wang, H. (author), Van Mieghem, P. (author)Modularity has been explored as an important quantitative metric for community and cluster detection in networks. Finding the maximum modularity of a given graph has been proven to be NPcomplete and therefore, several heuristic algorithms have been proposed. We investigate the problem of finding the maximum modularity of classes of graphs that...journal article 2012
