Despite having impressive vision-language (VL) pretraining with BERT-based encoder for VL understanding, the of a universal encoder-decoder both understanding and generation remains challenging. The difficulty originates from inherently different peculiarities two disciplines, e.g., tasks capitalize on unrestricted message passing across modalities, while only employ visual-to-textual passing. ...

Efficient analysis of complex networks is often a challenging task due to its large size and the noise inherent in the system. One popular method of overcoming this problem is through graph sampling, that is extracting a representative subgraph from the larger network. The accuracy of the sample is validated by comparing the combinatorial properties of the subgraph and the original network. How...

Any network studied in the literature is inevitably just a sampled representative of its real-world analogue. Additionally, network sampling is lately often applied to large networks to allow for their faster and more efficient analysis. Nevertheless, the changes in network structure introduced by sampling are still far from understood. In this paper, we study the presence of characteristic gro...

Temporal networks have been increasingly used to model a diversity of systems that evolve in time; for example, human contact structures over which dynamic processes such as epidemics take place. A fundamental aspect of real-life networks is that they are sampled within temporal and spatial frames. Furthermore, one might wish to subsample networks to reduce their size for better visualization o...
