Abstract
This paper studies the problem of identifying the contagion source when partial timestamps of a contagion process are available. We formulate the source localization problem as a ranking problem on graphs, where infected nodes are ranked according to their likelihood of being the source. Two ranking algorithms, cost-based ranking (CR) and tree-based ranking (TR), are proposed in this paper. Experimental evaluations with synthetic and real-world data show that our algorithms significantly improve the ranking accuracy compared with four existing algorithms.
