Abstract

Group interactions are prevalent in various complex systems (e.g., collaborations of researchers and group discussions on online Q\&A sites), and they are commonly modeled as hypergraphs. Hyperedges, which compose a hypergraph, are non-empty subsets of any number of nodes, and thus each hyperedge naturally represents a group interaction among entities. The higher-order nature of hypergraphs brings about unique structural properties that have not been considered in ordinary pairwise graphs. In this tutorial, we offer a comprehensive overview of a new research topic called hypergraph mining. Specifically, we first present recently revealed structural properties of real-world hypergraphs, including (a) static and dynamic patterns, (b) global and local patterns, and (c) connectivity and overlapping patterns.  Together with the patterns, we describe advanced data mining tools used for their discovery. Lastly, we introduce simple yet realistic hypergraph generative models that provide an explanation of the structural properties.

Abstract

Responsible AI becomes critical where fairness and robustness must be satisfied together. Traditionally, the two topics have been studied by different communities for different applications. Fair training primarily deals with biased data where structured data is typically considered. In comparison, robust training is designed for noisy or poisoned data where image data is typically considered. Nevertheless, fair training and robust training are fundamentally similar in fixing inherent flaws of real-world data. In this tutorial, we will first cover fairness techniques that consist of pre-processing, in-processing, and post-processing unfairness mitigation techniques, depending on whether the mitigation occurs before, during, or after the model training. Next, we will briefly give an overview of robust training techniques where most of the research is on combating various label noises. Finally, we will cover the recent trend of combining fair and robust training in three flavors: fairness-oriented, robust-oriented, and equal mergers.
