Towards Practical Link Prediction Approaches in Signed Social Networks

Published:03 July 2018Publication History

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this research is to design practical link prediction models in signed social networks. Current works focus on the sign prediction, based on the assumption that it is already known whether there is a link between any two users. In other words, the no-relation status is ignored. Meanwhile, the strength of existing links are assumed to be equal, which is also not realistic. In this study, we will redefine the link prediction problem in signed networks and take a deep investigation on no-relation status. Then, we aim to propose a personalized ranking model from the individual's perspective. This research explores link prediction models in a more realistic scenario, and it will contribute to ongoing research in development of link prediction and recommendations in signed networks. Furthermore, our research will provide a better understanding on the link formation mechanism behind signed network evolution.
