Dynamic stochastic block models, clustering and segmentation in dynamic graphs / Modèles à bloques stochastiques dynamiques pour la classification et la segmentation des graphes dynamiques

Corneli, Marco 17 November 2017 (has links)
Cette thèse porte sur l’analyse de graphes dynamiques, définis en temps discret ou continu. Nous introduisons une nouvelle extension dynamique du modèle a blocs stochastiques (SBM), appelée dSBM, qui utilise des processus de Poisson non homogènes pour modéliser les interactions parmi les paires de nœuds d’un graphe dynamique. Les fonctions d’intensité des processus ne dépendent que des classes des nœuds comme dans SBM. De plus, ces fonctions d’intensité ont des propriétés de régularité sur des intervalles temporels qui sont à estimer, et à l’intérieur desquels les processus de Poisson redeviennent homogènes. Un récent algorithme d’estimation pour SBM, qui repose sur la maximisation d’un critère exact (ICL exacte) est ici adopté pour estimer les paramètres de dSBM et sélectionner simultanément le modèle optimal. Ensuite, un algorithme exact pour la détection de rupture dans les séries temporelles, la méthode «pruned exact linear time» (PELT), est étendu pour faire de la détection de rupture dans des données de graphe dynamique selon le modèle dSBM. Enfin, le modèle dSBM est étendu ultérieurement pour faire de l’analyse de réseau textuel dynamique. Les réseaux sociaux sont un exemple de réseaux textuels: les acteurs s’échangent des documents (posts, tweets, etc.) dont le contenu textuel peut être utilisé pour faire de la classification et détecter la structure temporelle du graphe dynamique. Le modèle que nous introduisons est appelé «dynamic stochastic topic block model» (dSTBM). / This thesis focuses on the statistical analysis of dynamic graphs, both defined in discrete or continuous time. We introduce a new extension of the stochastic block model (SBM) for dynamic graphs. The proposed approach, called dSBM, adopts non homogeneous Poisson processes to model the interaction times between pairs of nodes in dynamic graphs, either in discrete or continuous time. The intensity functions of the processes only depend on the node clusters, in a block modelling perspective. Moreover, all the intensity functions share some regularity properties on hidden time intervals that need to be estimated. A recent estimation algorithm for SBM, based on the greedy maximization of an exact criterion (exact ICL) is adopted for inference and model selection in dSBM. Moreover, an exact algorithm for change point detection in time series, the "pruned exact linear time" (PELT) method is extended to deal with dynamic graph data modelled via dSBM. The approach we propose can be used for change point analysis in graph data. Finally, a further extension of dSBM is developed to analyse dynamic net- works with textual edges (like social networks, for instance). In this context, the graph edges are associated with documents exchanged between the corresponding vertices. The textual content of the documents can provide additional information about the dynamic graph topological structure. The new model we propose is called "dynamic stochastic topic block model" (dSTBM).Graphs are mathematical structures very suitable to model interactions between objects or actors of interest. Several real networks such as communication networks, financial transaction networks, mobile telephone networks and social networks (Facebook, Linkedin, etc.) can be modelled via graphs. When observing a network, the time variable comes into play in two different ways: we can study the time dates at which the interactions occur and/or the interaction time spans. This thesis only focuses on the first time dimension and each interaction is assumed to be instantaneous, for simplicity. Hence, the network evolution is given by the interaction time dates only. In this framework, graphs can be used in two different ways to model networks. Discrete time […] Continuous time […]. In this thesis both these perspectives are adopted, alternatively. We consider new unsupervised methods to cluster the vertices of a graph into groups of homogeneous connection profiles. In this manuscript, the node groups are assumed to be time invariant to avoid possible identifiability issues. Moreover, the approaches that we propose aim to detect structural changes in the way the node clusters interact with each other. The building block of this thesis is the stochastic block model (SBM), a probabilistic approach initially used in social sciences. The standard SBM assumes that the nodes of a graph belong to hidden (disjoint) clusters and that the probability of observing an edge between two nodes only depends on their clusters. Since no further assumption is made on the connection probabilities, SBM is a very flexible model able to detect different network topologies (hubs, stars, communities, etc.).
