Abstract

Network reconstruction from data is a data mining task which is receiving a significant attention due to its applicability in several domains. For example, it can be applied in social network analysis, where the goal is to identify connections among users and, thus, sub-communities. Another example can be found in computational biology, where the goal is to identify previously unknown relationships among biological entities and, thus, relevant interaction networks. Such task is usually solved by adopting methods for link prediction and for the identification of relevant sub-networks. Focusing on the biological domain, in [4] and [3] we proposed two methods for learning to combine the output of several link prediction algorithms and for the identification of biological significant interaction networks involving two important types of RNA molecules, i.e. microRNAs (miRNAs) and messenger RNAs (mRNAs). The relevance of this application comes from the importance of identifying (previously unknown) regulatory and cooperation activities for the understanding of the biological roles of miRNAs and mRNAs. In this paper, we review the contribution given by the combination of the proposed methods for network reconstruction and the solutions we adopt in order to meet specific challenges coming from the specific domain we consider. © 2014 Springer-Verlag.
