Glossary

Collective classification:

A special case of collective learning: The class membership of entities can be predicted from the class memberships of entities in their (social) network environment. Example: Individuals’ income classes can be predicted from those of their friends

Collective learning:

Refers to the effect that an entity’s relationships, attributes, or class membership can be predicted not only from its attributes but also from its (social) network environment

Entities:

Are (abstract) objects. We denote an entity by a lowercase e. An actor in a social network can be modeled as an entity. There can be multiple types of entities in a domain (e.g., individuals, cities, companies), entity attributes (e.g., income, gender), and relationships between entities (e.g., knows, likes, brother, sister). Entities, relationships, and attributes are defined in the...
