Download or read book Link Prediction in Social Networks written by Srinivas Virinchi and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-01-22 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work presents link prediction similarity measures for social networks that exploit the degree distribution of the networks. In the context of link prediction in dense networks, the text proposes similarity measures based on Markov inequality degree thresholding (MIDTs), which only consider nodes whose degree is above a threshold for a possible link. Also presented are similarity measures based on cliques (CNC, AAC, RAC), which assign extra weight between nodes sharing a greater number of cliques. Additionally, a locally adaptive (LA) similarity measure is proposed that assigns different weights to common nodes based on the degree distribution of the local neighborhood and the degree distribution of the network. In the context of link prediction in dense networks, the text introduces a novel two-phase framework that adds edges to the sparse graph to forma boost graph.
Download or read book A Novel RNN based Ensemble Model for Link Prediction on Dynamic Social Network written by Chen-Min Su and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social networking sites have gained much popularity in the recent years. With millions of people connected virtually generate loads of data to be analyzed to infer meaningful associations among links, arising in different applications ranging from recommendation systems to social networks. Most of the existing methods predict interactions between individuals for static networks, ignoring the dynamic features of social networks. In this paper, we describe the most popular similarity indices and compare their performance in their ability to show links with the highest probability of being added from the initial network. Moreover, we propose a novel RNN-based ensemble model for link prediction on a dynamic social network. We ensemble some similarity indices to obtain a higher performance of link prediction. It applies long short-term memory (LSTM) neural network to predict the possibility of potential links of social network. Finally, we evaluate the link prediction performances of our proposed method and 11 similarity indices with different accuracy measures. ex: AUC, precision, recall, error rate. We also discuss window size influence with AUC. Experimental results show that our method can always find an ensemble with better accuracy than all similarity indices regardless of the dataset.
Download or read book Link Prediction in Social Networks by Neutrosophic Graph written by Rupkumar Mahapatra and published by Infinite Study. This book was released on with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The computation of link prediction is one of the most important tasks on a social network. Several methods are available in the literature to predict links in networks and RSM index is one of them. The RSM index is applicable in the fuzzy environment and it does not incorporate the notion of falsity and indecency parameters which occur frequently in uncertain environments. In the present method, the behaviors of the common neighbor and the other parameters, like nature of job, location, etc., are considered. In this paper, more parameters are included in the RSM index for making it more flexible and realistic and it is best fitted in the neutrosophic environment. Many important properties are studied for this modified RSM index. A small network from Facebook is considered to illustrate the problem.

Download or read book Understanding User Interactions Through Link Analysis in Social Networks written by Mo Yu and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social networks exist in many places throughout the world. A typical example of a social network captures a group of human beings and their associated interactions, with vertices representing human beings and links representing human interactions. Most social networks are dynamic, and they grow with both vertices and links. From the perspective of link analysis, link prediction is a fundamental task, because social network growth and development depend heavily on user interactions, and link prediction results can be easily applied to boost user interactions. Also, link prediction has a wide range of applications, such as recommendation systems. In this thesis, our research aims at developing effective link prediction models.In the real world, most social networks are heterogeneous and have various types of links. However, current social network research often treat all links homogeneously. Such a simplification has negative implications for link prediction. Different types of links have different properties. We should be able identify such properties to design distinctive models to predict different links. Also, by identifying link types, we can focus on only those links that are under our interests, and break large social networks into small subnetworks to increase computational efficiency in link prediction. Thus, to facilitate link prediction, and to achieve a deeper understanding of social networks, we also need effective link classification models.To conduct our research for link prediction, we design two recommender systems and test their effectiveness on data from a major U.S. online dating site. Online dating is a fast growing market in recent years, and most sites adopt recommender systems to suggest potential dates. We notice that, for most social networks, new links can be introduced in two ways. First, they can be added when new members join. Second, existing members can establish connections among themselves. As a result, we conduct two distinctive studies. In the first study, we aim to provide reciprocal online dating recommendation for new users. To accomplish this task, we take a hybrid approach. We analyze the preferences of existing users based on their activities, and cluster them into different communities. We then link new users to such communities in a probabilistic way and make recommendations for new users based on activities of communities formed by existing users. Compared with the baseline, our model achieves significant improvements across multiple evaluations. In the second study, we analyze interaction patterns for existing online dating users and design a new collaborative filtering algorithm to make recommendations for them. The algorithm considers both the taste and attractiveness of users. We apply these two considerations to two main design stages of collaborative filtering. When compared against two separate baselines, our algorithm achieves better results in both precision and recall, especially for those reciprocal connections. Because links in online dating networks are homogeneous, we take another dataset for our research of link classification. We conduct a study on a cellphone network, where some of its user pairs are labeled with one of three relationship types. Cellphone networks are some of the largest social networks in the world, and they contain various types of links. To design an effective method of classifying user pairs, we extract three categories of features: network topology, communication, and co-location features. By applying several classification algorithms over these features, we successfully classify three types of links. We also find that communication features are very powerful in identifying family relationship, while co-location features provide best performance in identifying colleague relationships.With this research, we hope to provide some insights about the origin, development, and nature of links in social networks.
Download or read book Social Network Analysis written by Sabrine Mallek and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social networks are large structures that depict social linkage between millions of actors. Social network analysis came out as a tool to study and monitor the patterning of such structures. One of the most important challenges in social network analysis is the link prediction problem. Link prediction investigates the potential existence of new associations among unlinked social entities. Most link prediction approaches focus on a single source of information, i.e. network topology (e.g. node neighborhood) assuming social data to be fully trustworthy. Yet, such data are usually noisy, missing and prone to observation errors causing distortions and likely inaccurate results. Thus, this thesis proposes to handle the link prediction problem under uncertainty. First, two new graph-based models for uniplex and multiplex social networks are introduced to address uncertainty in social data. The handled uncertainty appears at the links level and is represented and managed through the belief function theory framework. Next, we present eight link prediction methods using belief functions based on different sources of information in uniplex and multiplex social networks. Our proposals build upon the available information in data about the social network. We combine structural information to social circles information and node attributes along with supervised learning to predict new links. Tests are performed to validate the feasibility and the interest of our link prediction approaches compared to the ones from literature. Obtained results on social data from real-world demonstrate that our proposals are relevant and valid in the link prediction context.
Download or read book Learning Automata Approach for Social Networks written by Alireza Rezvanian and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-01-22 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book begins by briefly explaining learning automata (LA) models and a recently developed cellular learning automaton (CLA) named wavefront CLA. Analyzing social networks is increasingly important, so as to identify behavioral patterns in interactions among individuals and in the networks’ evolution, and to develop the algorithms required for meaningful analysis. As an emerging artificial intelligence research area, learning automata (LA) has already had a significant impact in many areas of social networks. Here, the research areas related to learning and social networks are addressed from bibliometric and network analysis perspectives. In turn, the second part of the book highlights a range of LA-based applications addressing social network problems, from network sampling, community detection, link prediction, and trust management, to recommender systems and finally influence maximization. Given its scope, the book offers a valuable guide for all researchers whose work involves reinforcement learning, social networks and/or artificial intelligence.

Download or read book Link Age written by Samet Akcay and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work extends a previous one that investigated link age and its effect on network evolu- tion. Whether aging adversely influences prediction power of links in network evolution is the fundamental question partially answered in the previous work. Additionally, this study argues whether reliable old connections in a network have a great impact on future link predictions. One of our hypotheses is that aging of a link is a crucial factor in link prediction. The other one is that prediction power of a link usually lessens over time. Using logistic regression and mixture extension, younger links are observed to dominate the link prediction process in most cases. However, this is not always the case. We cannot ignore the links that are old but still powerful. In addition to prediction power of the links, using a mixture model improves the overall link prediction accuracy. The findings of this research support the implications of the previous work that some old and unstable links might be removed from the network.

This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the growing popularity of the Internet, an online society has been formed between people and people, which called social network. Through social network interaction, we can understand users' circle of friend-making and recommend which users are suitable to be added as friends. We present social networks graphically, using time-step to fix the interval, and divide it into dynamic network, to observe evolutionary trend between links, then predict which links will appear or disappear from the graph in the future. This is called Dynamic Network Link Prediction (DNLP). We propose a new model based on CNN+LSTM, C3D-LSTM, which predict for dynamic networks. C3D-LSTM combined Conv3D and LSTM. We separate the data in 3D form, and train the dataset, then comparing with GRU, LSTM, Conv2D-LSTM to see which one is better. In the result, C3D-LSTM had the best performance.
