Modern social media like Twitter or Facebook encompass a significant and growing share of the population, which is actively using it to create, share and exchange messages. This has a particularly profound effect on the way how news and events are spreading.Given the relevance of social media both as sensor of the real world (e.g., news detection) and its impact on the real world (e.g., shitsto...

A new family of kernels for statistical learning is introduced that exploits the geometric structure of statistical models. Based on the heat equation on the Riemannian manifold defined by the Fisher information metric, information diffusion kernels generalize the Gaussian kernel of Euclidean space, and provide a natural way of combining generative statistical modeling with non-parametric discr...

because of the newness of information technology (it) and internet in the world, and because of intrinsic constraint of multimedia and traditional news systems such as: newspaper, bulletin, radio and television in interactive communication, diffusion of news and information in internet has possessed special situation. but it is possible sometimes that the use of internet doesn’t achieve anticip...

[1]. INTRODUCTION In this report there will be a discussion for Information Diffusion. There will be discussions on what information diffusion is, its key characteristics and on several other aspects of these kinds of networks. This report will focus on peer to peer models in information diffusion. There will be discussions on epidemic model, OSN and other details related to information diffusi...
