Abstract: Multiplex networks are a representation of real-world complex systems as a set of entities (i.e. nodes) connected via different types of connections (i.e. layers). The observed connections in these networks may not be complete and the link prediction task is about locating the missing links across layers. Here, the main challenge is about collecting relevant evidence from different layers to assist the link prediction task.
