Efficient Edge Rewiring Strategies for Enhancing PageRank Fairness

Changan Liu, Haoxin Sun, Ahad N. Zehmakan +1

We study the notion of unfairness in social networks, where a group such as females in a male-dominated industry are disadvantaged in access to important information, e.g. job post…

A Fast Algorithm for Moderating Critical Nodes via Edge Removal

Changan Liu, Xiaotian Zhou, Ahad N. Zehmakan +1

Critical nodes in networks are extremely vulnerable to malicious attacks to trigger negative cascading events such as the spread of misinformation and diseases. Therefore, effectiv…
