Inferring social ties from geographic coincidences.
We investigate the extent to which social ties between people can be inferred from co-occurrence in time and space: Given that two people have been in approximately the same geographic locale at approximately the same time, on multiple occasions, how likely are they to know each other? Furthermore, how does this likelihood depend on the spatial and temporal proximity of the co-occurrences? Such...
متن کاملInferring Social Ties across Heterogeneous Networks
It is well known that different types of social ties have essentially different influence on people. However, users in online social networks rarely categorize their contacts into “family”, “colleagues”, or “classmates”. While a bulk of research has focused on inferring particular types of relationships in a specific social network, few publications systematically study the generalization of th...
متن کاملInferring Geographic Coincidence in Ephemeral Social Networks
We study users’ behavioral patterns in ephemeral social networks, which are temporarily built based on events such as conferences. From the data distribution and social theory perspectives, we found several interesting patterns. For example, the duration of two random persons staying at the same place and at the same time obeys a two-stage power-law distribution. We develop a framework to infer...
متن کاملInferring social ties between users with human location history
The location-based social networks have been becoming flourishing in recent years. In this paper, we aim to estimate the similarity between users according to their physical location histories (represented by GPS trajectories). This similarity can be regarded as a potential social tie between users, thereby enabling friend and location recommendations. Different from previous work using social ...
متن کاملSeeing the Unseen Network: Inferring Hidden Social Ties from Respondent-Driven Sampling
Learning about the social structure of hidden and hard-toreach populations — such as drug users and sex workers — is a major goal of epidemiological and public health research on risk behaviors and disease prevention. Respondentdriven sampling (RDS) is a peer-referral process widely used by many health organizations, where research subjects recruit other subjects from their social network. In s...
