Complex Networks and Artificial Intelligence

1. Mining and analysis of complex networks This is the oldest research area of the group, as it dates back to 2010. It mainly deals with the creation of networks (assemblies of entities and their pairwise relations), their analysis using the tools provided by the Social Network Analysis and the application of algorithms borrowed from Artificial Intelligence (link prediction). The group benefited from the collaboration with the 'Arma dei Carabinieri' in studying official documents related to judicial acts against criminal organizations, mining criminal networks and studying them. 2. Artificial Intelligence for Health This line of research, in collaboration with CNR, aims at applying most recent and insightful algorithms of Artificial Intelligence to the prediction of the insurgence of pathologies in patients under treatment for kidney diseases. 3. Neural Networks for Complex Networks This is a recent area of interest. It benefits from the collaboration with scientists from the Chongqing University of Technology who are experts in Neural Networks, which are the cutting edge of research in Computer Science. We are currently applying some architectures of Neural Networks to Complex Network aiming at empowering link prediction and community detection.
