If you have a question about this talk, please contact Tim Hughes. We describe several recent results on large network analysis with a special emphasis on community detection and on the analysis of mobile phone datasets. In particular, we describe the Louvain method that and can be routinely used for analyzing networks with billions of nodes or links. We analyze communities obtained on a social network constructed from mobile phone communications that span periods covering several months. We also describe applications of mobile phone dataset analysis for a range of applications such as urban planning, traffic optimization, monitoring of development policy, crisis management, and control of epidemics. With these applications in mind, we analyze the privacy threats of anonymized mobile phone dataset and show that human behavior puts fundamental natural constraints to the privacy of individuals.
