Knowledge Extraction from Biological and Social Graphs

Abstract

Many problems from the real life deal with the generation of enormous, varied, dynamic, and interconnected datasets coming from different and heterogeneous sources. This PhD Thesis focuses on the proposal of novel knowledge extraction techniques from graphs, mainly based on Big Data methodologies. Two application contexts are considered: Biological and Medical data, with the final aim of identifying biomarkers for diagnosis, treatment, prognosis, and prevention of diseases. Social data, for the optimization of advertising campaigns, the comparison of user profiles, and neighborhood analysis.
