Detecting strong ties among users in social and information networks is a fundamental operation that can improve performance on a multitude of personalization and ranking tasks. There are a variety of ways a tie can be deemed “strong”, and in this work we use a data-driven (or supervised) approach by assuming that we are provided a sample set of edges labeled as strong ties in the network. Such...

A tie is a link between two persons in a social network. Here, we analyze tie strength in temporal co-authorship social networks by measuring ties persistence and transformation over time. Surprisingly, most ties tend to perish over time. Also, weak and random ties are more present in real co-authorship networks than bridges and strong ones.

This article combines studies of transitivity and homophily in an empirical analysis of personal network integration. Using a national sample of individual’s personal networks, the paper reveals that transitivity Ž . explains a majority of cases of network integration with two important caveats: 1 recent work on networks and social structure points to important structural constraints on persona...

This paper presents a perspective on the impact and use of new media that focuses on the strength of the interpersonal tie connecting communicators.

Internet, as a new channel of WOM, enables consumers to get multiply WOM messages. However, there is a very real consumer situation that consumers may receive opposite messages (positive-negative) from the same sources. According to tie strength, this paper divides e-WOM sources into strong tie sources and weak tie sources, examining how e-WOM sources moderate the influence of e-WOM presentatio...

Scholars have found contradictory effects of strong ties in interfirm relations. They are considered both beneficial and detrimental for knowledge acquisition and innovation. In consequence, the debate on this paradox is flourishing. We wish to contribute to the discussion using a construct –relational bondingoriginally developed in studies on vertical interfirm relationships in business-to-bus...

This study examined the relationship between the number of communication technologies used for social interactions (i.e., multimodal connectedness) and well-being across the lifespan. Consistent with the assumptions of media multiplexity, multimodal connectedness and frequency of strong-tie communication enhancedwell-being, but only for older-age cohorts (35–54 and 55–70+). For young adults (18...
