Exploring Supervised Methods for Temporal Link Prediction in Heterogeneous Social Networks

چکیده
In the link prediction problem, formulated as a binary classification problem, we want to classify each pair of disconnected nodes in the network whether they will be connected by a link in the future. We study link formation in social networks with two types of links over several time periods. To solve the link prediction problem, we follow the approach of counting 3-node graphlets and suggest three extensions to the original method. By performing experiments on two real-world social networks we show that the new methods have a predictive power, however, network evolution cannot be explained by one specific feature at all time points. We also observe that some network properties can point at features which are more effective for temporal link prediction.

Link Prediction across Heterogeneous Social Networks: A Survey
Online social networks have gained great success in recent years. Some online social networks only involving users and social links among users can be represented as homogeneous networks. Meanwhile, some other social networks containing abundant information, which include multiple kinds of nodes and complex relationships, can be denoted as heterogeneous networks. Predicting the missing links or...

Nowadays, online social networks are considered as one of the most important emerging phenomena of human societies. In these networks, prediction of link by relying on the knowledge existing of the interaction between network actors provides an estimation of the probability of creation of a new relationship in future. A wide range of applications can be found for link prediction such as electro...
متن کاملTime Series Based Link Prediction
Link prediction is a task in Social Network Analysis that consists of predicting connections that are most likely to appear considering previous observed links in a social network. The majority of works in this area only performs the task by exploring the state of the network at a specific moment to make the prediction of new links, without considering the behavior of links as time goes by. In ...
متن کاملLink Prediction in Heterogeneous Collaboration Networks
Traditional link prediction techniques primarily focus on the effect of potential linkages on the local network neighborhood or the paths between nodes. In this article, we study both supervised and unsupervised link prediction in networks where instances can simultaneously belong to multiple communities, engendering different types of collaborations. Links in these networks arise from heteroge...
متن کاملPseudo Cold Start Link Prediction with Multiple Sources in Social Networks
Link prediction is an important task in social networks and data mining for understanding the mechanisms by which the social networks form and evolve. In most link prediction researches, it is assumed either a snapshot of the social network or a social network with some missing links is available. Most existing researches therefore approach this problem by exploring the topological structure of...
