We propose extensions of the classical JSM-method and the Naı̈ve Bayesian classifier for the case of triadic relational data. We performed a series of experiments on various types of data (both real and synthetic) to estimate quality of classification techniques and compare them with other classification algorithms that generate hypotheses, e.g. ID3 and Random Forest. In addition to classificati...

In social networks the Strong Triadic Closure is an assignment of the edges with strong or weak labels such that any two vertices that have a common neighbor with a strong edge are adjacent. The problem of maximizing the number of strong edges that satisfy the strong triadic closure was recently shown to be NP-complete for general graphs. Here we initiate the study of graph classes for which th...

We present a new network model accounting for homophily and triadic closure in the evolution of social networks. In particular, in our model, each node is characterized by a number of features and the probability of a link between two nodes depends on common features. The bipartite network of the actors and features evolves according to a dynamics that depends on three parameters that respectiv...

Mechanisms such as triadic closure and preferential attachment drive the evolution of social networks. Many models use these mechanisms to predict future links, and they generate realistic networks with scale-free degree distributions. These social networks also have community structure, or sets of vertices which are more connected to each other than the rest of the network. To study the evolut...

this study investigated the effect of sequencing tasks from simple to complex along +/- reasoning demands on fluency in writing task performance of english as foreign language (efl) learners. the participants of this study included 90 intermediate efl learners from three intact class divisions at the islamic azad uni- versity, shahr-e-qods branch. they were distributed in three groups: experime...

this study investigated the impact of sequencing tasks from simple to complex along +/- reasoning demands on the fluency of writing task performance among efl learners. the participants of the study were 90 inter- mediate efl learners from three classes at islamic azad university, shahr-e-qods branch in iran. they were distributed in three groups: experimental a, experimental b, and a control g...

The social triad—a group of three people—is one of the simplest and most fundamental social groups. Extensive network and social theories have been developed to understand its structure, such as triadic closure and social balance. Over the course of a triadic closure—the transition from two ties to three among three users, the strength dynamics of its social ties, however, are much less well un...

Pitch tracking and pitch marking (PM) are two important speech signal analysis techniques for several applications. The accuracy of both pitch marking and tracking is significant to generate smooth synthesized speech by controlling the pitch and duration of voiced speech in Text-to-Speech (TTS) system for example. In this paper, we present a novel hybrid approach, combining electro-glotto-graph...

We propose a communication-driven mechanism for predicting triadic closure in complex networks. It is mathematically formulated on the basis of communicability distance functions that account for the “goodness” of communication between nodes in the network. We study 25 real-world networks and show that the proposed method predicts correctly 20% of triadic closures in these networks, in contrast...

Reality, both material and conceptual, functions as a complex network of continuous adaptive morphological formation. The morphological form is a well-formed formula (wff), a Sign, an organized process of information. The Sign is formed within a triadic set of relations, which are encoded spatial and temporal measurements. Using a Cartesian quadrant, the six possible relational modes are examin...
