Abstract:

When studying large transactional networks---such as telephone call detail data, credit card transactions, or web clickstream data---graphs are a convenient and informative way to represent data. When the graph edges have a time stamp, we have a "dynamic graph," where the edges are born and die through time. I will present a framework for representing and analyzing dynamic graphs with a focus on the massive graphs found in telecommunications and Internet data. I also will demonstrate the application of this model to a telecommunications fraud problem, where we are looking for patterns in the graph associated with fraud.
