In recent years we witnessed an impressive advance in the social networks field, which became a "hot" topic and a focus of considerable attention. Also, the development of methods that focus on the analysis and understanding of the evolution of data are gaining momentum. In this paper we present an approach to visualize the evolution of dynamic social networks by using Tucker decomposition and ...

Easy access and vast amount of data, especially from long period of time, allows to divide social network into timeframes and create temporal social network. Such network enables to analyse its dynamics. One aspect of the dynamics is analysis of social communities evolution, i.e., how particular group changes over time. To do so, the complete group evolution history is needed. That is why in th...

Recently, anthropologists and biologists have given considerable attention to the ways in which these two processes intersect to jointly shape culture. In t...

Several studies have demonstrated the influence of a number of factors on the intricate microscopic process of tie replacement, but the macrosco...
