GROUP PROXIMITY MEASURE FOR RECOMMENDING GROUPS IN ONLINE SOCIAL NETWORKSBarna Saha and Lise Getoor
University of Maryland
SNA-KDD Workshop ‘08
Presented by
Sai Moturu
Oct 17
OVERVIEW
Setting: Communities in Online Social Networks
Goal: Recommending groups/communities to users
Problem: Defining proximity between communities
Approach: Group Proximity Measure
Experiments: Flickr, Live Journal, You Tube
ESCAPE PROBABILITY
Ei,j – Escape probability from i to j – probability that a random walk from node i will visit node j before visiting i
Vk(i,j) – Probability that a random walk from node k will visit node j before visiting node i
Computed using the Fast algorithm by Tong et al.
APPROACH OUTLINE
Let Gi and Gj be two groups Ci/Cj represents the core and Oi/Oj represents the
outliers Find CORE
Find Ci & Cj Obtain Concise Graph
Shrink Ci & Cj into two vertices Vi & Vj Remove self loop and replace parallel edges with a single
edge and representative weight Call the concise graph G’
Compute Escape Probability in G’
FINDING CORE
Degree Centrality For a node, its degree in the group is the number of
members of the group it is linked to Pick all members with a degree above a certain threshold
Subgraph Pick the subgraph within a group that has maximum ratio of
edges/vertices
PREDICTING FUTURE GROWTH
Link Cardinality Estimation Group Proximity Measure Number of links in between Product of the size of the two groups
Classification
CONTRIBUTIONS
New link-base proximity measure for groups in online social networks
Using proximity measure and structural properties to predict number of new links that will develop between two groups
New recommendation system based on group proximity and history of user’s group membership
