The authors use a practical point of view and real case studies as well as numerous examples, and applications of the different approaches are illustrated throughout using R code to explain their usage and usefulness in practice. A lot of material is covered, including screening techniques devoted to identifying influential and noninfluential inputs, and theoretical aspects of Sobol' indices as well as sampling-based formulas, spectral methods, and metamodel-based approaches for estimation purposes.

This kind of data appears frequently in the cybersecurity domain and especially in the detection of abnormal behaviour in computer networks. In the cybersecurity area we may encounter graphs with a large number of vertices, nodes and complex dynamics. Therefore, novel and efficient algorithms for learning from graphs are of paramount importance. In the graph domain, there are several interesting tasks from a machine learning perspective, such as: node level prediction, edge level prediction or graph level prediction of some interesting properties. In addition, the data itself can provide more or less useful information depending on the application, for example: node level features, edge level features or graph level features. From a different perspective, we may have the transductive setting, in which the graphs in the data set share the same structure or the inductive setting in which the graph structure changes in time. We are interested in the development novel Graph Neural Network approaches to deal with complex networks (graphs with a large number of vertices and edges). Our goal is to be able to detect abnormal behavior in computer networks in order to provide security by design in a number of industrial applications. 30 November 2021 at 14:00 CET (UTC+1) ------------------------------------------------------- From: Karolina Kropielnicka [log in to unmask] Date: October 15, 2021 Subject: Postdoc Position, Computational Mathematics, Sopot, Poland We are inviting applications for a two-year postdoctoral research position on design and analysis of computational methodologies for dispersive PDEs.
