What is a Social Network ?
• Entities (persons, companies, organizations)• Connections between entities (friendship,
collaboration)
![Page 3: Web Science Course 2014 - Lecture : Social Networks - *](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56815f52550346895dce2fda/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)

Examples of Social Networks
• „Real World“ relationships between people (friends, colleagues, relatives, …)
• Online Networks: Facebook, Flickr, Twitter …• Trading Networks between companies or
countries• Collaborations and rivalries beween persons,
organizations, and countries• Extension: Technological Networks (WWW, Road
Networks, Power Grids, ...)

Research Questions
• How do social networks form and how can we model the structure of Social Networks?
• How does information and innovation propagate in Social Networks?
• How do diseases propagate in Social Networks?• How does trade and buisiness work in Social
Networks? • How to detect communities within Social Networks? • ….

PART I: Homophily and Segregation
![Page 12: Web Science Course 2014 - Lecture : Social Networks - *](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56815f52550346895dce2fda/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Properties of Nodes and Homophily
• Properties: age, gender, education, location, profession, political opinion, …
• Homophily: Similar nodes are more likely to form links.
• Reasons for homophily: – Selection of similar persons as contacts– Becoming more similar to contacts

Positive and Negative RelationshipsNegative Relationships: – “Real Life”: people you don’t like, rivals, enemies– Online: Slashdot, Epinions– Economy: competitors– Countries: enemies

Structural BalanceBalanced Unbalanced

Structural Balance: Global Consequences
![Page 25: Web Science Course 2014 - Lecture : Social Networks - *](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56815f52550346895dce2fda/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
Weak Structural Balance• In addition to triangles in Structural Balance: – Allow: triangles with 3 negative edges
• Global consequences:
![Page 26: Web Science Course 2014 - Lecture : Social Networks - *](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56815f52550346895dce2fda/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
26
Further Generalizations
• Incomplete networks: Structural Balance iff can be extended to complete balanced network by adding signed edges
• Approximate Balanced Networks: Balance property can be violated for fraction of triangles

Small World and „Six Degrees of Separation“
• Small Word Phenomenon: Paths connecting two people in a social network are short(Pop Culture: „Six Degrees of Separation“)
• Milgram Experiment (1960s): – Ask set of „starters“ to forward a letter to „target“
person– „starters“ are given some information, e.g. address,
occupation– Rule: forward letter to person‘s you know on a first-
name basis

• Watts-Strogatz model does not explain feasibility of decentralized search

Modelling Decentralized Search• Idea: probability of random edge beteen
nodes v and w decay with distance: ~ d(v,w)q
