چکیده

We deliver a short overview of different centrality measures and influence concepts in social networks, and present the relation-algebraic approach to the concepts of power and influence. First, we briefly discuss four kinds of measures of centrality: the ones based on degree, closeness, betweenness, and the eigenvector-related measures. We consider centrality of a node and of a network. Moreover, we give a classification of the centrality measures based on a topology of network flows. Furthermore, we present a certain model of influence in a social network and discuss some applications of relation algebra and RelView to this model.

Supervised Rank Aggregation for Predicting Influence in Social Networks

Much work in Social Network Analysis has focused on the identification of the most important actors in a social network. This has resulted in several measures of influence, authority, centrality or prestige. While most of such sociometrics (e.g., PageRank) are driven by intuitions based on an actors location in a network, asking for the “most influential” actors in itself is an ill-posed questi...

Patterns of Interactions in Complex Social Networks Based on Coloured Motifs Analysis

Coloured network motifs are small subgraphs that enable to discover and interpret the patterns of interaction within the complex networks. The analysis of three-nodes motifs where the colour of the node reflects its high – white node or low – black node centrality in the social network is presented in the paper. The importance of the vertices is assessed by utilizing two measures: degree presti...

The Derivatives of Centrality and their Applications in Visualizing Social Networks

In this paper, we introduce the notion of derivatives of centrality metrics for graph visualizations. As centrality represents the prestige or importance of a node in a network, its derivative with respect to any other node represents the influencing power it has over that node. Therefore, derivatives tell us how much a given node influences the importance of another node, even if they are not ...
