Analyzing Wikipedia Membership Dataset and PredictingUnconnected Nodes in the Signed Networks
share
In the age of digital interaction, person-to-person relationships existing on social media may be different from the very same interactions that exist offline. Examining potential or spurious relationships between members in a social network is a fertile area of research for computer scientists – here we examine how relationships can be predicted between two unconnected people in a social network by using area under Precison-Recall curve and ROC. Modeling the social network as a signed graph, we compare Triadic model,Latent Information model and Sentiment model and use them to predict peer to peer interactions, first using a plain signed network, and second using a signed network with comments as context. We see that our models are much better than random model and could complement each other in different cases.
