Learning interpretable network dynamics via universal neural symbolic regression


Discovering governing equations of complex network dynamics is a fundamental challenge in contemporary science with rich data, which can uncover the hidden patterns and mechanisms of the formation and evolution of complex phenomena in various fields and assist in decision-making. In this work, we develop a universal computational tool that can automatically, efficiently, and accurately learn the symbolic patterns of changes in complex system states by combining the excellent fitting capability of deep learning with the equation inference ability of pre-trained symbolic regression.

We perform extensive and intensive experimental verifications on more than ten representative scenarios from fields such as physics, biochemistry, ecology, and epidemiology. The results demonstrate the remarkable effectiveness and efficiency of our tool compared to state-of-the-art symbolic regression techniques for network dynamics. The application to real-world systems including global epidemic transmission and pedestrian movements has verified its practical applicability.

We believe that our tool can serve as a universal solution to dispel the fog of hidden mechanisms of changes in complex phenomena, advance toward interpretability, and inspire further scientific discoveries.

Detecting Co-Resident Attacks in 5G Clouds! Detecting co-resident attacks in 5G clouds involves identifying malicious activities where attackers share physical cloud resources with victims to steal data or disrupt services. Techniques like machine learning, behavioral analysis, and resource monitoring help detect unusual patterns, ensuring stronger security and privacy in 5G cloud environments. Detecting Co-Resident Attacks in 5G Clouds In a 5G cloud environment, many different users (including businesses and individuals) share the same physical infrastructure through virtualization technologies like Virtual Machines (VMs) and containers. Co-resident attacks occur when a malicious user manages to place their VM or container on the same physical server as a target. Once co-residency is achieved, attackers can exploit shared resources like CPU caches, memory buses, or network interfaces to gather sensitive information or launch denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. Why are Co-Resident Attack...

Network Architecture

An introduction to satellite network architecture Satellite networking is a digital revolution that connects people from across the world instantly -- from enabling real-time communications to making the world a safer place. A satellite is an artificial object put into the Earth's orbit to gather and distribute crucial data. Since the late 1950s, satellites have only transmitted and received data, as bent pipe satellites weren't able to perform other functions. In modern times, a group of satellites in the same orbit forms a satellite network. Satellite networks process data and provide accurate visual and textual information. Unlike terrestrial network infrastructure, satellite network scalability isn't limited by geography and cost. According to a March 2025 report from Goldman Sachs, the global satellite market is expected to hit $108 billion by 2035, growing sevenfold from its current valuation. Satellite networks consist of the following: The ground equipment. The sa...
