SUMMARY:Towards Detecting Influential Individuals in Social Networks
DESCRIPTION:I discuss the problem of detecting influential individuals in
 social networks. Viral marketing campaigns seek to recruit a small number
 of influential individuals who are able to cover the largest target
 audience. Most of the literature assumes the network is known\, but usually
 there is no information about the topology. I present models where topology
 is usually unknown at first\, but gradually it is discovered thanks to the
 local information provided by the recruited members. I show preliminary
 results (simulations) obtained by the analysis of algorithms based on
 different levels of local information. (Joint work with Alonso
 Silva)\n\nBio: Patricio Reyes holds a B.Sc. in Mathematics (2000) and a
 M.Sc. in Mathematical Engineering (2003) from the University of Chile. He
 got his Ph.D. in Computer Science (2009) working at the French National
 Institute for Research in Computer Science and  Control\, INRIA. He has
 worked as an associate researcher at CMM\, the  Chilean Centre for
 Mathematical Modelling (research unit of CNRS\, France) and the Mine
 Planning Lab at the University of Chile. At present\, he is a postdoctoral
 visitor in the Department of Statistics at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid
 since 2012. His main research interests are: social network analysis\;
 data-gathering  algorithms in networks\; routing &amp\; scheduling in
 wireless mesh networks\; mine planning.
