Algorithmic and Statistical Approaches for Large Social Networks
NIPS 2012 Workshop
December 7, 2012 at Lake Tahoe, Nevada, US
http://www.datalab.uci.edu/nips-workshop-2012
About the workshop
Statistical models for social networks struggle with the tension between scalability - the ability to effectively and efficiently model networks with large numbers of nodes - and fidelity to social processes. Recent developments within the field have sought to address these issues in various ways, including algorithmic innovations, use of scalable latent variable models, and clever use of covariate information.
The workshop will consist of a combination of invited speakers and contributed talks and posters, with ample time allowed for open discussion.
We invite contributions to
the development of new statistical and machine learning theories and algorithms for large social networks
computational aspects of exploratory data analysis and statistical modeling of such data
specific case studies and applications involving large social network data sets, in particular if they provide insight on computational and statistical issues
