• Title: A Latent Space Model for Multilayer Network Data
• Authors: Juan Sosa and Brenda Betancourt
• Abstract summary: We propose a Bayesian statistical model to simultaneously characterize two or more social networks defined over a common set of actors. The key feature of the model is a hierarchical prior distribution that allows us to represent the entire system jointly. Our model's capabilities are illustrated using several real-world data sets, taking into account different types of actors, sizes, and relations.

• Abstract: In this work, we propose a Bayesian statistical model to simultaneously characterize two or more social networks defined over a common set of actors. The key feature of the model is a hierarchical prior distribution that allows us to represent the entire system jointly, achieving a compromise between dependent and independent networks. Among others things, such a specification easily allows us to visualize multilayer network data in a low-dimensional Euclidean space, generate a weighted network that reflects the consensus affinity between actors, establish a measure of correlation between networks, assess cognitive judgements that subjects form about the relationships among actors, and perform clustering tasks at different social instances. Our model's capabilities are illustrated using several real-world data sets, taking into account different types of actors, sizes, and relations.

• Multi-Agent Imitation Learning with Copulas [102.27052968901894]
  Multi-agent imitation learning aims to train multiple agents to perform tasks from demonstrations by learning a mapping between observations and actions. In this paper, we propose to use copula, a powerful statistical tool for capturing dependence among random variables, to explicitly model the correlation and coordination in multi-agent systems. Our proposed model is able to separately learn marginals that capture the local behavioral patterns of each individual agent, as well as a copula function that solely and fully captures the dependence structure among agents.

Our model learns from data how much of the network structure is shared between layers and pools information across layers as appropriate. We compare the model to competing methods in the literature on simulated networks and on a multiplex network describing the worldwide trade of agricultural products.

  Co-Salient Object Detection (CoSOD) aims at discovering salient objects that repeatedly appear in a given query group containing two or more relevant images. One challenging issue is how to effectively capture co-saliency cues by modeling and exploiting inter-image relationships. We present an end-to-end collaborative aggregation-and-distribution network (CoADNet) to capture both salient and repetitive visual patterns from multiple images.
