+Graphs have been extensively studied for their propagative abilities:
+connectivity, routing, gossip algorithms, etc.  A diffusion process taking
+place over a graph provides valuable information about the presence and weights
+of its edges. \emph{Cascades} are a specific type of diffusion processes in
+which a particular infectious behavior spreads over the nodes of the graph.  By
+only observing the ``infection times'' of the nodes in the graph, one might
+hope to recover the underlying graph and the parameters of the cascade model.
+This problem is known in the literature as the \emph{Network Inference problem}.
