As one of the most important and famous applications of blockchain technology, cryptocurrency has attracted extensive attention recently. Empowered by blockchain technology, all the transaction records of cryptocurrencies are irreversible and recorded in the blocks. These transaction records containing rich information and complete traces of financial activities are publicly accessible, thus providing researchers with unprecedented opportunities for data mining and knowledge discovery in this area. Networks are a general language for describing interacting systems in the real world, and a considerable part of existing work on cryptocurrency transactions is studied from a network perspective. This survey aims to analyze and summarize the existing literature on analyzing and understanding cryptocurrency transactions from a network perspective. Aiming to provide a systematic guideline for researchers and engineers, we present the background information of cryptocurrency transaction network analysis and review existing research in terms of three aspects, i.e., network modeling, network profiling, and network-based detection. For each aspect, we introduce the research issues, summarize the methods, and discuss the results and findings given in the literature. Furthermore, we present the main challenges and several future directions in this area.
Algorithmic fairness is a major concern in recent years as the influence of machine learning algorithms becomes more widespread. In this paper, we investigate the issue of algorithmic fairness from a network-centric perspective. Specifically, we intr
Mobile sensing is an emerging technology that utilizes agent-participatory data for decision making or state estimation, including multimedia applications. This article investigates the structure of mobile sensing schemes and introduces crowdsourcing
Following the remarkable success of the AlphaGO series, 2019 was a booming year that witnessed significant advances in multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) techniques. MARL corresponds to the learning problem in a multi-agent system in which mul
Online forums provide rich environments where users may post questions and comments about different topics. Understanding how people behave in online forums may shed light on the fundamental mechanisms by which collective thinking emerges in a group
The large-scale online management systems (e.g. Moodle), online web forums (e.g. Piazza), and online homework systems (e.g. WebAssign) have been widely used in the blended courses recently. Instructors can use these systems to deliver class content a
