gFlora: a topology-aware method to discover functional co-response groups in soil microbial communities

Nan Chen, Merlijn Schram, Doina Bucur

We aim to learn the functional co-response group: a group of taxa whose co-response effect (the representative characteristic of the group showing the total topological abundance o…

Learning the mechanisms of network growth

Lourens Touwen, Doina Bucur, Remco van der Hofstad +2

We propose a novel model-selection method for dynamic networks. Our approach involves training a classifier on a large body of synthetic network data. The data is generated by simu…

Parallels in the symbolism of star constellations

Doina Bucur

We answer the question whether, when forming constellations in the night sky, people in astronomical cultures around the world and through time consistently imagined and assigned t…

Understanding Sparse Neural Networks from their Topology via Multipartite Graph Representations

Elia Cunegatti, Matteo Farina, Doina Bucur +1

Pruning-at-Initialization (PaI) algorithms provide Sparse Neural Networks (SNNs) which are computationally more efficient than their dense counterparts, and try to avoid performanc…

Bias in Automated Image Colorization: Metrics and Error Types

Frank Stapel, Floris Weers, Doina Bucur

We measure the color shifts present in colorized images from the ADE20K dataset, when colorized by the automatic GAN-based DeOldify model. We introduce fine-grained local and regio…

Dynamic detection of mobile malware using smartphone data and machine learning

J. S. Panman de Wit, J. van der Ham, D. Bucur

Mobile malware are malicious programs that target mobile devices. They are an increasing problem, as seen in the rise of detected mobile malware samples per year. The number of act…

Independent Prototype Propagation for Zero-Shot Compositionality

Frank Ruis, Gertjan Burghouts, Doina Bucur

Humans are good at compositional zero-shot reasoning; someone who has never seen a zebra before could nevertheless recognize one when we tell them it looks like a horse with black…

Top influencers can be identified universally by combining classical centralities

Doina Bucur

Information flow, opinion, and epidemics spread over structured networks. When using individual node centrality indicators to predict which nodes will be among the top influencers…
