Mining complex networks: A new challenge for supporting diagnostic decisions

It is in this context that a recent focus in machine learning (Mitchell 1997, Kolaczyk 2014, Witten, Frank, & Hall 2011, Marsland 2011) has been to extend traditional problems to complex interaction systems and more generally to networks (Getoor & Taskar 2007, Bansal, Blum, & Chawla 2002). In this case traditional algorithms not only may benefit of information provided by links between instances but even could fail to give an accurate inference (Zoppis, Merico, Antoniotti, Mishra, & Mauri 2007, Zoppis & Mauri 2008).
