Abstract:This paper studied the static and dynamic characteristics of the real social networks as well as their proposed generative models, among which the Butterfly Model [1] is useful while not being flexible enough to generate the social networks with the expected power-law exponent. Therefore, a novel Flexible Butterfly Model (FBM) is proposed based on the Butterfly Model and combined with the Monte Carlo method and a Bayesian Graph Model for the training of the FBM Model is built in order to learn parameters from … Show more
