G ROUP PROXIMITY MEASURE FOR RECOMMENDING GROUPS IN ONLINE SOCIAL NETWORKS Barna Saha and Lise Getoor University of Maryland SNA-KDD Workshop ‘08 Presented by Sai Moturu Oct 17

O VERVIEW Setting: Communities in Online Social Networks Goal: Recommending groups/communities to users Problem: Defining proximity between communities Approach: Group Proximity Measure Experiments: Flickr, Live Journal, You Tube

E SCAPE P ROBABILITY E i,j – Escape probability from i to j – probability that a random walk from node i will visit node j before visiting i V k (i,j) – Probability that a random walk from node k will visit node j before visiting node i Computed using the Fast algorithm by Tong et al.
4
A PPROACH O UTLINE Let G i and G j be two groups C i /C j represents the core and O i /O j represents the outliers Find CORE Find C i & C j Obtain Concise Graph Shrink C i & C j into two vertices V i & V j Remove self loop and replace parallel edges with a single edge and representative weight Call the concise graph G’ Compute Escape Probability in G’
5
F INDING CORE Degree Centrality For a node, its degree in the group is the number of members of the group it is linked to Pick all members with a degree above a certain threshold Subgraph Pick the subgraph within a group that has maximum ratio of edges/vertices
