Diffusion on Complex Networks and what it can tell us about Epidemiology and Wikipedia
Date:
This was a presentation given to the current Ph.D and Masters students at Rutgers University as part of a series of talks titled SSPAR (Student Seminars in Physics and Astronomy at Rutgers.) What can be determined about a complex landscape or network by moving through it in the most unintelligent way? This talk covered an answer to this question by presenting a formalism which combines Bayes’ theorem with random walk theory with applications given in the worlds of computer science and epidemiology.
