Abstract
Methods and systems to identify collaborative communities of individuals from graphs of multiple types of relationships amongst the individuals, including to mine data related to multiple types of relationships amongst individuals, construct graphs to represent the respective types of relationships amongst individuals, and perform a multiplex graph convolutional network (MGCN) artificial intelligence machine learning (AIML) analysis across the multiple graphs to identify the collaborative communities. A mathematical representation of the graphs may be learned/tuned to optimize clustering of the individuals. Multiple parameters (inter-graph weights, consensus regularization function) may be jointly tuned based on a joint optimization function. The collaborative communities may be displayed such that relative positions of the individuals represent measures of influence exerted by the respective individuals within the respective collaborative communities.
