Title: Complex Network Analysis: Problems, Applications and Techniques

Abstract: Complex network analysis is a field of study that focuses on the analysis, modeling, and 
understanding of complex systems represented as networks. These networks consist of nodes 
(representing entities or components) and edges (representing relationships or interactions) 
between these nodes. Complex network analysis has applications in various fields, including 
social science, biology, transportation, communication, and more. Researchers use it to gain 
insights into the structure and dynamics of complex systems, leading to applications in fields 
such as social network analysis, biological network analysis, transportation planning and 
many more. This talk introduces the foundations of network analysis. Then introduces various 
research problems such as Community Detection, Influence Analysis, Link Prediction and 
Recommender Systems, with a special emphasis on Link Prediction (LP). The talk explores 
existing LP techniques and concludes by highlighting the research gaps in this area.
