Electrical measures of importance for network edges
Charalampos Mavroforakis, Boston University, USA
Abstract:Measures that quantify the importance of nodes and edges in networks are valuable in the analysis of various types of data, including social, biological, computer networks and more. With rare exceptions, the applicability of such measures to large datasets is hindered by the lack of fast algorithms for their computation.
In this talk, we mainly focus on the importance...

Doctoral dissertation
University of Helsinki main building, lecture hall XV (Unioninkatu 34, 4th floor),Contemporary social scientists describe the current societal circumstances as the late modern era, which is characterized by an abundance of both options and uncertainties. Theorists sometimes associate these characteristics with the development of information and communication technologies (ICTs). Some argue that computer-mediated, networked...

Kumpula, Exactum B119Title: Tilted Variational Bayes
Abstract: We present a novel method for approximate inference. Using some of the constructs from expectation propagation (EP), we derive a lower bound of the marginal likelihood in a similar fashion to variational Bayes (VB). The method combines some of the benefits of VB and EP: it can be used with light-tailed likelihoods (where traditional VB fails), and it provides a lower...

Kumpula, Exactum B119Title: Data Visualization by Neighbor Embedding
Abstract: Modern data analysis is not only massive but also complex in terms of various structural information. Visual representations and interaction techniques take advantage of the human eye's broad bandwidth pathway into the mind to allow users to see, explore, and understand large amounts of information in an efficient way. Therefore, data visualization is...

DNA pattern-assembly: introduction and recent breakthroughs.
Dr. Shinnosuke Seki, Aalto University
Abstract:Self-assembly is a process through which disorganized, relatively simple components autonomously coalesce according to local rules to form more complex target structures, in the absence of orders from an external global conductor. DNA self-assembly can produce various nanoscale structures experimentally, including regular arrays, fractal structures, simley faces, logic...
