　　報告摘要:

　　    In a network environment, if decentralized nodes act on the basis of how their neighbors act at earlier time, these local actions often lead to interesting macro dynamics - cascades. There has been a growing body of research on these information cascades because of their big potential in various vital applications such as viral marketing, epidemic prevention, and traffic management, but how to predict the dynamic process of information spreading is still an open problem. In this talk, I will present some of our recent works on predictive modeling on information cascades, including one-hop cascade prediction, cascading outbreak prediction, as well as cascading process prediction.
