</div>
<div style="font-size:12.8px">Connections are ubiquitous in
different domains; from collaborations and associations
between people, to proteins and genes interacting to carry
out a biological function. To study the structure and
dynamics of the interconnected world around us, we need
models and algorithms that integrate three principal
elements: connection, content, and time. In order to
achieve these integrated models, I will discuss bringing
machine learning, network science, and data mining
together. As a step toward this direction, I talk about
narrowing the gap between clustering (based on content),
community detection (using connections), and extending
them to the dynamic settings (time). Throughout the talk,
I will give examples from the broader impacts of this
research in computational social science, combating online
human trafficking, and educational data mining.</div>
