title = "Temporal motifs",
abstract = "We discuss the temporal motifs approach that is aimed at detecting significant, intrinsically dynamic, mesoscopic structures and patterns in temporal networks, which cannot be seen in static or aggregated networks. Such patterns involve several nodes and their timed contacts. The approach consists of three phases: (1) identifying temporal subgraphs, (2) assigning the subgraphs to equivalence classes, and (3) assessing the relevance, surprise and significance of class-wise counts against some reference. We discuss these phases in detail, and apply the presented method to a temporal network of mobile telephone calls.",
