Sofia is Chair of Statistical Data Science at EPFL. She is a Fellow of the IMS for "seminal contributions to the theory and application of large and heterogeneous networks, random fields and point process, for advancing research in data science”.
Modelling multiplex networks
Multiple networks are complex and highly non-Euclidean objects. This talk will focus on what is known as multiplex networks, representing multiple interaction between the same set of objects, but where the interactions may be of several different types. We shall discuss how a graph limit framework can be used for such objects, and how to naturally characterise the complexity of the whole system of interactions. This characterisation will be used on complexity measures introduced in information theory, and the notion of entropy. This gives us a tool to generally think about systems of relationship.
Details
The talk will take place on Monday 9th December at 11am in MS.03. Lunch will be provided afterwards in the The Street (the Zeeman Atrium).
