Community Detection In Complex Networks Using A New Agglomerative Approach, Majid Arasteh, Somayeh Alizadeh
Community Detection In Complex Networks Using A New Agglomerative Approach, Majid Arasteh, Somayeh Alizadeh
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Complex networks are used for the representation of complex systems such as social networks. Graph analysis comprises various tools such as community detection algorithms to uncover hidden data. Community detection aims to detect similar subgroups of networks that have tight interconnections with each other while, there is a sparse connection among different subgroups. In this paper, a greedy and agglomerative approach is proposed to detect communities. The proposed method is fast and often detects high-quality communities. The suggested method has several steps. In the first step, each node is assigned to a separated community. In the second step, a vertex …
Understanding Attribute And Social Circle Correlation In Social Networks, Pranav Nerurkar, Madhav Chandane, Sunil Bhirud
Understanding Attribute And Social Circle Correlation In Social Networks, Pranav Nerurkar, Madhav Chandane, Sunil Bhirud
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Social circles, groups, lists, etc. are functionalities that allow users of online social network (OSN) platforms to manually organize their social media contacts. However, this facility provided by OSNs has not received appreciation from users due to the tedious nature of the task of organizing the ones that are only contacted periodically. In view of the numerous benefits of this functionality, it may be advantageous to investigate measures that lead to enhancements in its efficacy by allowing for automatic creation of customized groups of users (social circles, groups, lists, etc). The field of study for this purpose, i.e. creating coarse-grained …

Privacy Issues In Post Dissemination On Facebook, Burcu Sayi̇n Günel, Serap Şahi̇n, Dimitris G. Kogias, Charalampos Z. Patrikakis
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
With social networks (SNs) being populated by a still increasing numbers of people who take advantage of the communication and collaboration capabilities that they offer, the probability of the exposure of people's personal moments to a wider than expected audience is also increasing. By studying the functionalities and characteristics that modern SNs offer, along with the people's habits and common behaviors in them, it is easy to understand that several privacy risks may exist, many of which people may be unaware of. In this paper, we focus on users' interactions with posts in a social network (SN), using Facebook as …
Influence Maximization In Social Networks: An Integer Programming Approach, Muhammed Emre Keski̇n, Mehmet Güray Güler
Influence Maximization In Social Networks: An Integer Programming Approach, Muhammed Emre Keski̇n, Mehmet Güray Güler
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
The use of social networks has been spreading rapidly in recent years. There is a growing interest in influence maximization in social networks, especially after observing that the effects of social events of the Arab Spring, Gezi events of Turkey, uprising in Ukraine, etc. have been built by the help of social networks. Consequently, many institutions like political parties or commercial firms are willing to spread their messages throughout social networks. There are many studies that concentrate on finding the most influential initial nodes, called seeds, which maximize the spread of an intended message over the social network. However, most …

A Reputation-Based Privacy Management System For Social Networking Sites, Mehmet Erkan Yüksel, Asim Si̇nan Yüksel, Abdül Hali̇m Zai̇m
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Social networking sites form a special type of virtual community where we share our personal information with people and develop new relationships on the Internet. These sites allow the users to share just about everything, including photos, videos, favorite music, and games, and record all user interactions and retain them for potential use in social data mining. This storing and sharing of large amounts of information causes privacy problems for the users of these websites. In order to prevent these problems, we have to provide strict privacy policies, data protection mechanisms, and trusted and built-in applications that help to protect …
