Abstract. Distinct social networks are interconnected via bridge users, who play thus a key role when crossing information is investigated in the context of Social Internetworking analysis. Unfortunately, not always users make their role of bridge explicit by specifying the so-called me edge (i.e., the edge connecting the accounts of the same user in two distinct social networks), missing thus a potentially very useful information. As a consequence, discovering missing me edges is an important problem to face in this context yet not so far investigated. In this paper, we propose a common-neighbors approach to detecting missing me edges, which returns good results in real life settings. Indeed, an experimental campaign shows both that the state-of-the-art common-neighbors approaches cannot be effectively applied to our problem and, conversely, that our approach returns precise and complete results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
