Abstract
Methods and systems for determining a time dependent relevancy score of an agent node among an evolving heterogeneous network are described. A processor may expand the heterogeneous network by generating temporal heterogeneous networks representing states of the heterogeneous network at different times. The processor may extract a set of agent nodes from each temporal heterogeneous network and may generate a relationship network based on the extracted agent nodes for each temporal heterogeneous network. The processor may remove the agent node from the temporal heterogeneous network to generate a conditional relationship network excluding the removed agent node. The processor may determine a relevancy score for the agent node based on the corresponding relationship network and the conditional relationship network. Each relevancy score for the agent node may correspond to a temporal heterogeneous network and may indicate an impact of removing the agent node from the corresponding temporal heterogeneous network.
