Abstract

Described is a system for detecting attacks on networks. A hierarchical representation of activity of a communication network is used to detect and predict sources of misinformation in the communication network. The hierarchical representation includes temporal patterns of communication between at least one pair of nodes, each temporal pattern representing a motif, having a size, in the hierarchical representation. Changes in motifs provide a signal for a misinformation attack.
