Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) In recent years, a statistical approach for estimating unobserved model parameters from a small number of observations utilizing the sparsity of model parameters called sparse modeling have been extensively studied. In the literature, many applications of sparse modeling have been proposed in several fields such as signal processing, image processing, and compressed sensing. However, to the best of our knowledge, in the field of the information networking, a few applications have been studied. In our previous work, we have shown the effectiveness of sparse modeling for a network flow problem called minimum link flow problem, which finds, for given incoming/outgoing rate requirements at nodes, a set of flows satisfying requirements with the least number of links. This paper extends our sparse-modeling based approach to a more complex problem --- estimation of betweenness centrality, which is one of the major graph indices. In this paper, we present a sparse-modeling based solution for betweenness centrality estimation. Betweenness centralities of all nodes in an undirected graph are estimated from shortest-path trees, each of which is obtained as the solution for the minimum link flow problem formulated as the $l_1$-norm minimization problem. Furthermore, we investigate how accurately betweenness centrality can be estimated with our proposed sparse-modeling based estimation method. Our findings include that our proposed estimation method can accurately estimate a set of nodes whose top 10% betweenness centralities in a graph.
