Deduplication, also referred to as "entity resolution", is a common and crucial pre-processing step in the construction of social networks. Traditional deduplication methods compare the attributes (such as name and age) of potential matching pairs to estimate a match probability for a pair. Recently research has used clustering techniques for...

Travel time is a key aspect of capturing and evaluating the operational performance and service quality of transportation systems, and travel time improvement is a common objective for travelers, service providers, transportation practitioners and agencies. However, the reliability of travel times, including the probability of unexpected delays, is an important...
There is a rich history on the study of the interplay between symmetry and synchronization in networks. At the most fundamental level, many synchronization patterns are induced by underlying network symmetries. However, when stability is taken into account, the relation between symmetry and synchronization is far from monotonic. In this...
The linear food chain of high school biology textbooks has been replaced by the food web, the increasingly complex network of trophic interactions in an ecosystem. This complexity, however, masks a number of robust statistical properties. Yet much research to date has concentrated upon predicting and testing the existence of...
