The latest volume of the East China Normal University Scientific Reports published by World Scientific, has been released.
Entitled Network Data Mining and Analysis, the work is authored by three leading researchers and academics from East China Normal University (ECNU) and Singapore Management University (SMU): Associate Prof Ming Gao (ECNU), Prof Ee-Ping Lim (SMU) and Associate Prof David Lo (SMU).
The book's coverage spans from basic concepts about network data, including the types of networks, graph representations in different research communities, and the expander graphs, to the research of networking mining and analysis. Topics from newly emerging fields such as network strength measurement, network linkage, network structure analysis and link prediction, and some local community detection are also included.
Network Data Mining and Analysis answers these questions:
- What are social communities in bipartite graphs and signed graphs?
- How robust are the networks? How can we apply the robustness of networks?
- How can we find identical social users across heterogeneous social networks?
The research in this book has been supported by the National Key Research and Development Program of China under grant 2016YFB1000905; the National Research Foundation, Prime Minister's Office, Singapore under its International Research Centres in Singapore Funding Initiative; and the NSFC under Grant No. U1401256.
This book retails for US$98 / £85 (hardback). To know more about the book visit http://www.worldscientific.com/worldscibooks/10.1142/11120.
