ABSTRACT
Recent work on unbiased sampling of OSNs has focused on estimation of the network characteristics such as degree distributions and clustering coefficients. In this work we shift the focus to node attributes. We show that existing sampling methods produce biased outputs and need modifications to alleviate the bias.

Sampling from Social Networks with Attributes
WWW '17: Proceedings of the 26th International Conference on World Wide WebSampling from large networks represents a fundamental challenge for social network research. In this paper, we explore the sensitivity of different sampling techniques (node sampling, edge sampling, random walk sampling, and snowball sampling) on social ...
Random sampling with fuzzy replacement
Highlights- The proposed method provides a bridge between sampling with and without replacement.
AbstractIn this study, the probability of selecting unit again of the selecting sample is determined by the fuzzification parameter. Accordingly, a random sampling method has been proposed providing a transition between with replacement or ...
Edge Detection-Guided Balanced Sampling
AbstractIn anchor-based object detection algorithms, achieving a balance between positive and negative samples during training is crucial. Many improved sampling methods have been proposed to address this issue. In our work, we propose an edge-detection ...
