A Generative Model for Dynamic Contextual Friendship Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
Taking inspiration from real-life friendship formation patterns, we propose a new generative model of evolving social networks. Each person in the network has a distribution over social interaction spheres, which we term “contexts.” The model allows for birth and death of links and addition of new people. Model parameters are learned via Gibbs sampling, and results are demonstrated on real social networks. We study the robustness of our model by examining statistical properties of simulated networks, and compare against well-known properties of real social networks.

Improvement of generative adversarial networks for automatic text-to-image generation
This research is related to the use of deep learning tools and image processing technology in the automatic generation of images from text. Previous researches have used one sentence to produce images. In this research, a memory-based hierarchical model is presented that uses three different descriptions that are presented in the form of sentences to produce and improve the image. The proposed ...
متن کاملA Separable Model for Dynamic Networks.
Models of dynamic networks - networks that evolve over time - have manifold applications. We develop a discrete-time generative model for social network evolution that inherits the richness and flexibility of the class of exponential-family random graph models. The model - a Separable Temporal ERGM (STERGM) - facilitates separable modeling of the tie duration distributions and the structural dy...
متن کاملExploratory Study of a New Model for Evolving Networks
The study of social networks has gained new importance with the recent rise of large on-line communities. Most current approaches focus on deterministic (descriptive) models and are usually restricted to a preset number of people. Moreover, the dynamic aspect is often treated as an addendum to the static model. Taking inspiration from real-life friendship formation patterns, we propose a new ge...
متن کاملAutomatic Colorization of Grayscale Images Using Generative Adversarial Networks
Automatic colorization of gray scale images poses a unique challenge in Information Retrieval. The goal of this field is to colorize images which have lost some color channels (such as the RGB channels or the AB channels in the LAB color space) while only having the brightness channel available, which is usually the case in a vast array of old photos and portraits. Having the ability to coloriz...
متن کاملAnalysis & Generative Model for Trust Networks
Trust Networks are a specific kind of social network where edges in the network have positive and negative signs connoting friendship/trust and antagonism/distrust respectively. While the last few years have seen a rich body of work on generative models for social networks, there hasn’t been much work on understanding in what ways trust networks differ from social networks and to create generat...
