arXiv:2606. 29596v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Characterizing the scenario underlying an epidemic from its disease cascade is an important task in simulation analytics.
arXiv:2608. 05016v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Predicting the existence and type of links (edges) between nodes in a multi-relational graph is key for applications from social interaction prediction to knowledge relationship identification.
Predicting the existence and type of links (edges) between nodes in a multi-relational graph is key for applications from social interaction prediction to knowledge relationship identification. Enhancing local features with relevant global information is crucial for accurate link prediction, yet it remains challenging.
The paper evaluates deep graph generative models against traditional network science models by comparing the topological similarity of generated networks to real-world networks and their effectiveness in identifying node immunization strategies for epidemic or misinformation spread. It finds that two deep graph generative models produce synthetic networks that closely resemble real-world structural properties, enabling them to identify effective immunization strategies.
arXiv:2601. 16233v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: HIV is a retrovirus that attacks the human immune system and can lead to death without proper treatment.
arXiv:2608.29535v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Infectious disease transmission is shaped by patterns of human interaction, which adapt as epidemic conditions change. Capturing these context-depend...
arXiv:2606. 02867v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Human behaviour during epidemics affects infectious disease dynamics, but quantifying this remains deeply challenging.
The paper introduces an action‑conditioned Network World Model that learns how a network’s diffusion dynamics evolve under interventions over time. This model can quickly predict the outcomes of actions, enabling a coding agent to design and refine algorithms that select actions to maximize expected performance on complex network tasks. Experiments on eight network tasks and five diffusion models show that the resulting algorithms match or surpass the best existing baselines in 138 of 141 settings while achieving up to 14.5× faster rollouts than traditional Monte Carlo simulation.
arXiv:2607. 06757v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agent-based modeling (ABM) has the capability to model millions of individuals and their interactions, which is useful for policy making.
arXiv:2606. 08306v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Network dynamics - including spreading, influence maximisation, and epidemic modelling - remain largely confined to the transductive paradigm, where models are trained on a single network and cannot be reused on unseen graphs without retraining.
arXiv:2606. 06360v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modelling individual decision-making during infectious disease outbreaks is crucial for understanding behavioural dynamics and informing effective public health interventions.
The paper introduces DISCO, a deep‑learning framework for detecting overlapping communities in networks. DISCO integrates a diffusion‑based structural prior, sparse multi‑head attention, and a Bernoulli‑Poisson edge‑reconstruction objective to infer community affiliations from node attributes and structural profiles. Experiments show competitive performance against existing graph convolutional and attention methods, and a cybersecurity proof‑of‑concept demonstrates how community changes can signal anomalies in dynamic communication networks.
The paper introduces TERN, a forecasting model that uses a delta‑rule fast‑weight memory with channel‑wise decay and learned erasure gates, combined with a seasonal reference and online adaptation. It addresses challenges in influenza forecasting such as limited seasonal data, shifting wave patterns, and misleading information after peaks. On three Cola‑GNN influenza benchmarks, TERN outperformed existing epidemic graph models and general forecasters, matching or exceeding seasonal references and demonstrating the value of its memory component.
