Social Network Analysis Using Cultural Algorithms And Its Variants, Pooya Moradian Zadeh Apr 2017

Social Network Analysis Using Cultural Algorithms And Its Variants, Pooya Moradian Zadeh

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Finding relationships between social entities and discovering the underlying structures of networks are fundamental tasks for analyzing social networks. In recent years, various methods have been suggested to study these networks efficiently, however, due to the dynamic and complex nature that these networks have, a lot of open problems still exist in the field. The aim of this research is to propose an integrated computational model to study the structure and behavior of the complex social network. The focus of this research work is on two major classic problems in the field which are called community detection and link prediction. …


The Role Of Prior Knowledge In Multi-Population Cultural Algorithms For Community Detection In Dynamic Social Networks, Mukund Pandey Jan 2017

The Role Of Prior Knowledge In Multi-Population Cultural Algorithms For Community Detection In Dynamic Social Networks, Mukund Pandey

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The relationship between a community and the knowledge that it encompasses is a fundamentally important aspect of any social network. Communities, with some level of similarity, implicitly tend to have some level of similarity in their knowledge as well. This work does the analysis on the role of prior knowledge in Multi-Population Cultural Algorithm (MPCA) for community detection in dynamic social networks. MPCA can be used to find the communities in a social network. The knowledge gained in this process is useful to analyze the communities in other social networks having some level of similarity. Our work assumes that knowledge …
