Title: Sparse Approximations for Time-Series Networks

Abstract: In many real-world networks, such as the human brain, online social networks, and gene regulatory networks, different agents/entities interact with others over time.  This talk will discuss methods to infer and approximate the network topology, that is to identify which agents are interacting with which other agents, without specific distributional assumptions.
