Main Abstract:
Viral spread on large graphs has many real-life applications such as malware propagation in computer networks and rumor (or misinformation) spread in Twitter-like online social networks. Although viral spread on large graphs has been intensively analyzed on classical models such as Susceptible-Infectious-Recovered, there still exits a deficit of effective methods in practice to contain epidemic spread once it passes a critical threshold. Against this backdrop, we explore methods of containing viral spread in large networks with the focus on sparse random networks. The viral containment strategy is to partition a large network into small components and then to ensure the sanity of all messages delivered across different components. With such a defense mechanism in place, an epidemic spread starting from any node is limited to only those nodes belonging to the same component as the initial infection node. We establish both lower and upper bounds on the costs of inspecting inter-component messages. We further propose heuristic-based approaches to partition large input graphs into small components. Finally, we study the performance of our proposed algorithms under different network topologies and different edge weight models.

[1]: In this work, we study the notion of competing campaigns in a social network and address the problem of influence limitation where a "bad" campaign starts propagating from a certain node in the network and use the notion of limiting campaigns to counteract the effect of misinformation. The problem can be summarized as identifying a subset of individuals that need to be convinced to adopt the competing (or "good") campaign so as to minimize the number of people that adopt the "bad" campaign at the end of both propagation processes. We show that this optimization problem is NP-hard and provide approximation guarantees for a greedy solution for various definitions of this problem by proving that they are submodular. We experimentally compare the performance of the greedy method to various heuristics. The experiments reveal that in most cases inexpensive heuristics such as degree centrality compare well with the greedy approach. We also study the influence limitation problem in the presence of missing data where the current states of nodes in the network are only known with a certain probability and show that prediction in this setting is a supermodular problem. We propose a prediction algorithm that is based on generating random spanning trees and evaluate the performance of this approach. The experiments reveal that using the prediction algorithm, we are able to tolerate about 90 missing data before the performance of the algorithm starts degrading and even with large amounts of missing data the performance degrades only to 75 of the performance that would be achieved with complete data.
Another motivating application of this work is containment of rumor or misinformation diffusion in large social networks. Research on this topic is still at its infancy. Budak considered the problem of limiting the spread of misinformation in social networks [1] . Their approach was to convince a small set of users in the online social network to spread good'' rumors that cancel out the influence of bad ones. Convincing people to spread good'' rumors in social networks, albeit an interesting idea, may not be feasible in practice. The strategy we consider in this work, however, does not require involvement of individual users.
