A time evolving online social network generation algorithm

Abstract: The rapid growth of online social media usage in our daily lives has increased the importance of analyzing the dynamics of online social networks. However, the dynamic data of existing online social media platforms are not readily accessible. Hence, there is a necessity to synthesize networks emulating those of online social media for further study. In this work, we propose an epidemiology-inspired and community-based, time-evolving online social network generation algorithm (EpiCNet), to generate a time-evolv… Show more

“…In the context of patient health care data, a high-fidelity synthetic dataset would be able to capture complex clinical relationships and be clinically indistinguishable from real patient data [11][12][13]. Within the realm of social network analysis, a high-fidelity synthetic dataset would accurately capture the intricate connections, community structures, and communication patterns present in real social networks [14]. It would possess the same statistical properties, network topologies, and user behaviours, rendering it virtually indistinguishable from genuine social network data.…”

“…In modern scientific works, researchers are developing various methods for analyzing clusters in social networks [54]. The structure of social networks is analyzed from three levels: micro-level, meso-level, and macro-level based on the regular graph model, exponential random graph model, small world network model, and network model without scale [55], various models and algorithms for generating social networks are also being developed [56]. Review articles [57][58][59] provide a detailed analysis of current advances in identifying important nodes from a social network perspective, as well as the various social network centrality measures that have been developed.…”
