Abstract: Networks are often naturally modeled by
random processes in which nodes of the network are added
one-by-one, according to some random rule. Uniform
and preferential attachment trees are among the simplest
examples of such dynamically growing networks. The
statistical problems we address in this talk regard
discovering the past of the network when a present-day
snapshots observed. Such problems are sometimes termed
"network archeology". We present a few results that show
that, even in gigantic networks, a lot of information is
preserved from the very early days.
