Real-world systems are often comprised of interconnected units, and can be represented as networks, with nodes and edges. In a social system, for instance, individuals may have social ties and financial relationships. In these settings, when a node (the unit analysis) is exposed to a treatment, its effects may spill over to connected units; then estimating both the direct effect of the treatment and its spillover effects presents several challenges. First, assumptions about the mechanism through which spillover effects occur along the observed network are required. Second, in observational studies, where the treatment assignment has not been randomized, confounding and homophily are further potential threats to the identification and to the estimation of causal effects, on networks. Here, we make two structural assumptions: (i) neighborhood interference, which assumes interference operates only through a function of the immediate neighbors' treatments, and (ii) unconfoundedness of the individual and neighborhood treatment, which rules out the presence of unmeasured confounding variables, including those driving homophily. Under these assumptions we develop a new covariate-adjustment estimator for direct treatment and spillover effects in observational studies on networks. We proposed an estimation strategy based on a generalized propensity score that balances individual and neighborhood covariates across units under different levels of individual treatment and of exposure to neighbors' treatment. Adjustment for propensity score is performed using a penalized spline regression. Our inference strategy capitalizes on a three-step Bayesian procedure, which allows to take account for the uncertainty in the propensity score estimation, and avoids model feedback. The correlation among connected units is taken into account using a community detection algorithm, and incorporating random effects in the outcome model. All these sources of variability, including variability of

In this article, I explore the synergy between Large Language Models (LLMs) and computational chemistry in the context of digital reticular chemistry and propose a workflow leveraging these technologies to advance research and discovery in the field. I argue that understanding the intricacies of new tools is imperative before integrating them into applications, and that the proposed workflow, though robust, merely offers a glimpse into the expansive potential and applications of this field.

Entity alignment (EA) identifies equivalent entities that locate in different knowledge graphs (KGs), and has attracted growing research interests over the last few years with the advancement of KG embedding techniques. Although a pile of embedding-based EA frameworks have been developed, they mainly focus on improving the performance of entity representation learning, while largely overlook the subsequent stage that matches

in entity embedding spaces. Nevertheless, accurately matching entities based on learned entity representations is crucial to the overall alignment performance, as it coordinates individual alignment decisions and determines the global matching result. Hence, it is essential to understand how well existing solutions for matching KGs in entity embedding spaces perform on present benchmarks, as well as their strengths and weaknesses. To this end, in this article we provide a comprehensive survey and evaluation of matching algorithms for KGs in entity embedding spaces in terms of effectiveness and efficiency on both classic settings and new scenarios that better mirror real-life challenges. Based on in-depth analysis, we provide useful insights into the design trade-offs and good paradigms of existing works, and suggest promising directions for future development.

The rapid expansion of the Internet-of-Things (IoT) has never before attracted the attention of cybercriminals. The increasing prevalence of cyberattacks against IoT devices and intermediary communication channels lends credence to this assertion. If an IoT attack goes unnoticed for too long, it might disrupt services severely, costing money. In addition, it poses the risk of having one's identity stolen. For IoT-enabled services to be dependable, secure and financially fruitful, real-time intrusion detection on IoT devices is a must. A new intrusion detection design for IoT devices based on Deep Learning (DL) is presented in this research. In order to identify potentially harmful traffic that could lead to assaults on Internet of Things (IoT) gadgets, this smart framework employs a 4layer deep Fully-Connected (FC) network architecture. To simplify deployment, the suggested system was designed to work with any available communication protocol. During experimental performance evaluation, the suggested system has proven to be effective against both simulated and real invasions. According to the data, the proposed model is more accurate than existing methods. This novel deep learning-based IDS has highest detection rate of 95.7 percent, making it suitable for bolstering the safety of IoT networks.
