Soulmate or Acquaintance? Visualizing Tie Strength for Trust Inference
نویسندگان
چکیده
Prior social science research has shown that tie strength is a useful indicator of context-dependent trust in many real-world relationships. Yet, it is often challenging to gauge trust in online environments. Given a multitude of variables that represent social relationships, we explore how to visualize interpersonal tie strength to empower people to make informed, context-dependent online trust decisions. Our goal is to develop visualizations that are meaningful, expressive, and comprehensible. In this paper, we describe the design of four visualizations. We also report on the results of two user studies, where users commented that our visualizations are highly comprehensive, meaningful, and easy to understand.

From acquaintance to best friend forever: robust and fine-grained inference of social tie strengths
Social networks often provide only a binary perspective on social ties: two individuals are either connected or not. While sometimes external information can be used to infer the strength of social ties, access to such information may be restricted or impractical. Sintos and Tsaparas (KDD 2014) first suggested to infer the strength of social ties from the topology of the network alone, by lever...
متن کاملImpact of Consolidating Web Based Social Networks on Derived Trust Factors
Individuals are typically members of a variety of web-based social networks (both explicit and implied), but existing trust inference mechanisms typically draw only on a single network in order to calculate trust between any two individuals. This both reduces the likelihood that a trust value can be calculated (as both people have to be members of the same network), and reduces the quality of a...
متن کاملPatients Attitude towards Surgeons Attire in Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital Drogheda
Background A doctor’s competence and professionalism is often judged on the basis of attire. Our Lady of Lourdes (OLOL) is a leading Irish hospital in the implementation of Bare Below the Elbows (BBTE) policy, however surgical attire is not standardised and there is great variability in attire worn on wards. We aimed to evaluate patients attitude towards surgeons attire in OLOL. Methods A pro...
متن کاملRelationGram: Tie-Strength Visualization for User-Controlled Online Identity Authentication
We consider the specific problem of how users can securely authenticate online identities (e.g., associate a Facebook ID with its owner). Based on prior social science research demonstrating that the social tie strength is a useful indicator of trust in many real-world relationships, we explore how tie strength can be visualized using welldefined and measurable parameters. We then apply the vis...
متن کاملAdaptive Neural Fuzzy Inference System Models for Predicting the Shear Strength of Reinforced Concrete Deep Beams
A reinforced concrete member in which the total span or shear span is especially small in relation to its depth is called a deep beam. In this study, a new approach based on the Adaptive Neural Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) is used to predict the shear strength of reinforced concrete (RC) deep beams. A constitutive relationship was obtained correlating the ultimate load with seven mechanical a...
