CoSoGMIR: A Social Graph Contagion Diffusion Framework using the Movement-Interaction-Return Technique

Abstract

Besides the inherent benefits of exchanging information and interactions between nodes on a social graph, they can also become a means for the propagation of knowledge. Social graphs have also become a veritable structure for the spread of disease outbreaks. These and its set of protocols are deployed as measures to curb its widespread effects as it has also left network experts puzzled. The recent lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic continue to reiterate that diseases will always be around. Nodal exposure, adoption/diffusion of disease(s) among interacting nodes vis-a-vis migration of nodes that cause further spread of contagion (concerning COVID-19 and other epidemics) has continued to leave experts bewildered towards rejigging set protocols. We model COVID-19 as a Markovian process with node targeting, propagation and recovery using migration-interaction as a threshold feat on a social graph. The migration-interaction design seeks to provision the graph with minimization and block of targeted diffusion of the contagion using seedset(s) nodes with a susceptible-infect policy. The study results showed that migration and interaction of nodes via the mobility approach have become an imperative factor that must be added when modeling the propagation of contagion or epidemics.

Enhancing the Random Forest Model via Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique for Credit-Card Fraud Detection

“…Streamlit : is an easy-to-use and simple interface for evaluating the credit-card fraud detection ensemble. It facilitates user interactions and batches all submitted transactions for analysis [97]. Its other features include: (a) users can input transaction data, which is then sent to the Flask API for processing, and (b) it displays instantaneous results that classify a transaction as either fraudulent or legitimate.…”

StreamBoostE: A Hybrid Boosting-Collaborative Filter Scheme for Adaptive User-Item Recommender for Streaming Services

“…With advances in the evolution of collaborative filtering, its scope of potential application domain is also poised to expand with key opportunities that are characterized by diverse user interests and preference -yielding a variety of options that may otherwise not be feasible to be evaluated, manually [40]. Thus, profiling user preferences and matching them against the most relevant choices will continue to yield a wide variety and array of real-world recommender tasks.…”

“…The adoption of machine learning models as low-cost, computational alternatives to tradition schemes -have since yielded successfully trained heuristics and algorithms, which can effectively recognize user interests and preference patterns [39]. Machine learning (ML) models learns these patterns via features of interest, which helps them identify these patterns as signature classification that deviates from the norm [40]. A variety of ML have yielded resultant success with its adoption in collaborative filtering algorithm to include: Logistic Regression [41]- [43], Deep Learning [44]- [46], Bayesian model [47]- [49], Support Vector Machine [50]- [52], Random Forest [53]- [55], K-Nearest Neighbors [56]- [58], and in other models [59]- [61].…”

NiCuSBlockIoT: Sensor-based Cargo Assets Management and Traceability Blockchain Support for Nigerian Custom Services

“…Interaction among society's resident vis-à-vis their corresponding migration process as the need arises, from one place to another [1] has continued to form baseline as well as foundation upon which globalization is advanced. But, a consequent effect of such interaction, integration, advances and migration activities [2] is the relative ease in acceleration and propagation of infectious disease [3], and its consequent spread evolution from an epidemic to a pandemic [4].…”
