Social Sensors in Epidemiological Networks via Graph Eigenvectors [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 In this paper, we consider epidemiological networks which are used for modeling the transmission of contagious diseases through a population. Specifically, we study the so-called social sensors problem: given an epidemiological network, can we find a small set of nodes such that by monitoring disease transmission on these nodes, we can get ahead of the
