Efficient PAC Learnability of Dynamical Systems Over Multilayer Networks

ICML 2024poster

Networked dynamical systems are widely used as formal models of real-world cascading phenomena, such as the spread of diseases and information. Prior research has addressed the problem of learning the behavior of an unknown dynamical system when the underlying network has a single layer. In this wor…

Efficiently Learning the Topology and Behavior of a Networked Dynamical System Via Active Queries

ICML 2022spotlight

Using a discrete dynamical system model, many papers have addressed the problem of learning the behavior (i.e., the local function at each node) of a networked system through active queries, assuming that the network topology is known. We address the problem of inferring both the topology of the net…

Finding Nontrivial Minimum Fixed Points in Discrete Dynamical Systems: Complexity, Special Case Algorithms and Heuristics

AAAI 2022technical

Networked discrete dynamical systems are often used to model the spread of contagions and decision-making by agents in coordination games. Fixed points of such dynamical systems represent configurations to which the system converges. In the dissemination of undesirable contagions (such as rumors and…
