   Invited Talk
   Big Network Analysis: Algorithms and Applications
   Prof. Jie Tang
   Department of Computer Science and Technology at Tsinghua University


   Abstract
   Online social networks connect our physical daily life and the virtual Web space. The user
   generated data is becoming big, heterogeneous, and highly connected. In this talk, I will first
   present our recently developed methodologies and algorithms for connecting multiple
   heterogeneous networks (COSNET) and top-k similarity search (Panther). Both algorithms
   have been deployed to an online academic search and mining system AMiner, which has
   collected a large scholar dataset, with more than 130,000,000 researcher profiles and
   100,000,000 papers from multiple publication databases. With COSNET, we connect AMiner
   with several professional social networks, such as LinkedIn and VideoLectures, which
   significantly enriches the scholar metadata. Panther is used to find similar authors in AMiner
   and can return top-k similar vertices 300× faster than the state-of-the-art methods..


   Biographical Sketch
                                  Jie Tang is an associate professor with the Department of
                                  Computer Science and Technology at Tsinghua University, and
                                  was also visiting scholar at Cornell University. His interests
                                  include social network analysis, data mining, and machine
                                  learning. He has published more than 200 journal/conference
                                  papers and holds 20 patents. His papers have been cited by
                                  more than 6,000 times (Google Scholar). He served as PC Co-
                                  Chair of CIKM’16, WSDM’15, ASONAM’15, SocInfo’12, KDD-
                                  CUP/Poster/Workshop/Local/Publication Co-Chair of KDD’11-
                                  15, and Associate Editor-in-Chief of ACM TKDD, Editors of IEEE
                                  TKDE/TBD and ACM TIST. He leads the project AMiner.org for
                                  academic social network analysis and mining, which has
                                  attracted more than 8 million independent IP accesses from 220
   countries/regions in the world. He was honored with the Newton Advanced Scholarship Award,
   CCF Young Scientist Award, and NSFC Excellent Young Scholar.
