On the largest common subtree of uniform attachment trees

Johannes Bäumler, Céline Kerriou, Bas Lodewijks +4

We study the largest common subtree of two independent unlabeled uniform attachment trees (also known as random recursive trees). Our main result shows that, when the two trees hav…

Image Augmentation as Test Generation for Deep Learning-Based Image Retrieval Systems

Yehan De Silva, Anirudh Sridhar, Armin Lotfy +6

Ensuring the reliability of deep learning-based image retrieval systems is a software engineering challenge. This paper presents a dual contribution: (1) a literature review of aug…

Correlated uniform attachment trees

Johannes Bäumler, Miklós Z. Rácz, Nathan Ross +1

We introduce and study a new model of correlated uniform attachment (UA) trees, where correlation is sprinkled throughout the time evolution of the process. In this model, two UA t…

Finding Super-spreaders in SIS Epidemics

Anirudh Sridhar, Arnob Ghosh

In network epidemic models, controlling the spread of a disease often requires targeted interventions such as vaccinating high-risk individuals based on network structure. However,…

Detecting Mutual Excitations in Non-Stationary Hawkes Processes

Elchanan Mossel, Anirudh Sridhar

We consider the problem of learning the network of mutual excitations (i.e., the dependency graph) in a non-stationary, multivariate Hawkes process. We consider a general setting w…

Detecting Abrupt Changes in Point Processes: Fundamental Limits and Applications

Anna Brandenberger, Elchanan Mossel, Anirudh Sridhar

We consider the problem of detecting abrupt changes (i.e., large jump discontinuities) in the rate function of a point process. The rate function is assumed to be fully unknown, no…

Finding Super-spreaders in Network Cascades

Elchanan Mossel, Anirudh Sridhar

Suppose that a cascade (e.g., an epidemic) spreads on an unknown graph, and only the infection times of vertices are observed. What can be learned about the graph from the infectio…

Quickest Inference of Susceptible-Infected Cascades in Sparse Networks

Anirudh Sridhar, Tirza Routtenberg, H. Vincent Poor

We consider the task of estimating a network cascade as fast as possible. The cascade is assumed to spread according to a general Susceptible-Infected process with heterogeneous tr…

Matching Correlated Inhomogeneous Random Graphs using the -core Estimator

Miklós Z. Rácz, Anirudh Sridhar

We consider the task of estimating the latent vertex correspondence between two edge-correlated random graphs with generic, inhomogeneous structure. We study the so-called \emph{$k…

Average-case and smoothed analysis of graph isomorphism

Julia Gaudio, Miklós Z. Rácz, Anirudh Sridhar

We propose a simple and efficient local algorithm for graph isomorphism which succeeds for a large class of sparse graphs. This algorithm produces a low-depth canonical labeling, w…

Spreading Processes with Mutations over Multi-layer Networks

Mansi Sood, Anirudh Sridhar, Rashad Eletreby +4

A key scientific challenge during the outbreak of novel infectious diseases is to predict how the course of the epidemic changes under different countermeasures that limit interact…

Recovering the Graph Underlying Networked Dynamical Systems under Partial Observability: A Deep Learning Approach

Sérgio Machado, Anirudh Sridhar, Paulo Gil +3

We study the problem of graph structure identification, i.e., of recovering the graph of dependencies among time series. We model these time series data as components of the state…

Exact Community Recovery in Correlated Stochastic Block Models

Julia Gaudio, Miklos Z. Racz, Anirudh Sridhar

We consider the problem of learning latent community structure from multiple correlated networks. We study edge-correlated stochastic block models with two balanced communities, fo…

Quickest Inference of Network Cascades with Noisy Information

Anirudh Sridhar, H. Vincent Poor

We study the problem of estimating the source of a network cascade given a time series of noisy information about the spread. Initially, there is a single vertex affected by the ca…

The Role of Masks in Mitigating Viral Spread on Networks

Yurun Tian, Anirudh Sridhar, Chai Wah Wu +4

Masks have remained an important mitigation strategy in the fight against COVID-19 due to their ability to prevent the transmission of respiratory droplets between individuals. In…

On the Accuracy of Deterministic Models for Viral Spread on Networks

Anirudh Sridhar, Soummya Kar

We consider the emergent behavior of viral spread when agents in a large population interact with each other over a contact network. When the number of agents is large and the cont…

Mean-field Approximations for Stochastic Population Processes with Heterogeneous Interactions

Anirudh Sridhar, Soummya Kar

This paper studies a general class of stochastic population processes in which agents interact with one another over a network. Agents update their behaviors in a random and decent…
