报告简介：

Online social networks represent a fundamental medium for the spreading and diffusion of various information where the actions of certain users increase the susceptibility of other users to the same; this results in the successive spread of information from a small set of initial users to a much larger set. Examples include the spread of malicious rumors and Internet hoax. It is important to root out the source and have timely quarantine in order to enhance the network cyber security. This talk will focus on the mathematical theories and algorithms of network inference in online social networks to rooting out malicious rumor sources by leveraging ideas in combinatorics, probability theory and graph theory. We conclude the talk with insights on putting the theory into practice in online social network software development.
