Implicit Affinity Networks
IMPLICIT AFFINITY NETWORKS Matthew Smith Department of Computer Science Master of Science Although they clearly exist, affinities among individuals are not all easily identified. Yet, they offer unique opportunities to discover new social networks, strengthen ties among individuals, and provide recommendations. We propose the idea of Implicit Affinity Networks (IANs) to build, visualize, and tr...
متن کاملImplicit affinity networks and social capital
Social networks are typically constructed based on explicit and well-defined relationships among individuals. In this paper, we describe another class of social networks, known as Implicit Affinity Networks (IANs), where links are implicit in the patterns of natural affinities among individuals. An effective mathematical formulation of social capital based on implicit and explicit connections i...
متن کاملComputationally Inferred Genealogical Networks Uncover Long-Term Trends in Assortative Mating
Genealogical networks, also known as family trees or population pedigrees, are commonly studied by genealogists wanting to know about their ancestry, but they also provide a valuable resource for disciplines such as digital demography, genetics, and computational social science. These networks are typically constructed by hand through a very time-consuming process, which requires comparing larg...
متن کاملMining Inheritance Rules from Genealogical Data
Data mining extracts implicit, previously unknown and potentially useful information from databases. Many approaches have been proposed to extract information, and one of the most important ones is finding association rules. Although a large number of researches have been devoted to this subject, to the best of our knowledge, no previous researches find association rules from genealogical data....
متن کاملRecommending Groups to Users Using User-Group Engagement and Time-Dependent Matrix Factorization
Social networks often provide group features to help users with similar interests associate and consume content together. Recommending groups to users poses challenges due to their complex relationship: user-group affinity is typically measured implicitly and varies with time; similarly, group characteristics change as users join and leave. To tackle these challenges, we adapt existing matrix f...
