Detecting network anomalies using Forman–Ricci curvature and a case study for human brain networks

Abstract We analyze networks of functional correlations between brain regions to identify changes in their structure caused by Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (adhd). We express the task for finding changes as a network anomaly detection problem on temporal networks. We propose the use of a...
