Explores weak ties' significance in social networks, job finding, and information diffusion, emphasizing the Triadic Closure principle and the paradox of weak ties in job finding.
Introduces Support Vector Clustering (SVC) using a Gaussian kernel for high-dimensional feature space mapping and explains its constraints and Lagrangian.
Explores the stochastic blockmodel, spectral clustering, and non-parametric understanding of blockmodels, emphasizing metrics for comparing graph models.
Delves into centrality and hubs in network neuroscience, exploring node importance, small-world networks, brain structural connectome, and percolation theory.
