چکیده

The rapid growth of Geo-Social Networks (GeoSNs) provides a new and rich form of data. Users of GeoSNs can capture their geographic locations and share them with other users via an operation named checkin. Thus, GeoSNs can track the connections (and the time of these connections) of geographic data to their users. In addition, the users are organized in a social network, which can be extended to a heterogeneous network if the connections to places via checkins are also considered. The goal of this paper is to analyze the opportunities in clustering this rich form of data. We first present a model for clustering geographic locations, based on GeoSN data. Then, we discuss how this model can be extended to consider temporal information from checkins. Finally, we study how the accuracy of community detection approaches can be improved by taking into account the checkins of users in a GeoSN.

Detecting Overlapping Communities in Social Networks using Deep Learning

In network analysis, a community is typically considered of as a group of nodes with a great density of edges among themselves and a low density of edges relative to other network parts. Detecting a community structure is important in any network analysis task, especially for revealing patterns between specified nodes. There is a variety of approaches presented in the literature for overlapping...

Merging Similarity and Trust Based Social Networks to Enhance the Accuracy of Trust-Aware Recommender Systems

In recent years, collaborative filtering (CF) methods are important and widely accepted techniques are available for recommender systems. One of these techniques is user based that produces useful recommendations based on the similarity by the ratings of likeminded users. However, these systems suffer from several inherent shortcomings such as data sparsity and cold start problems. With the dev...

Evaluating Influential Nodes in Social Networks by Local Centrality with a Coefficient

Influential nodes are rare in social networks, but their influence can quickly spread to most nodes in the network. Identifying influential nodes allows us to better control epidemic outbreaks, accelerate information propagation, conduct successful e-commerce advertisements, and so on. Classic methods for ranking influential nodes have limitations because they ignore the impact of the topology ...
