Time Varying Network

Time-varying networks model systems where connections between nodes change over time, a characteristic of many real-world systems like social networks, financial markets, and biological processes. Current research focuses on developing efficient algorithms for decentralized optimization and inference over these dynamic networks, employing techniques like deep learning, gossip protocols, and variance reduction methods to address challenges posed by changing topologies and communication delays. These advancements are crucial for improving the scalability and robustness of applications ranging from distributed machine learning and sensor networks to the analysis of complex biological systems and financial risk assessment.
