Multirelational Organization Of Large-Scale Social Networks In An Online World, Renaud Lambiotte
Multirelational Organization Of Large-Scale Social Networks In An Online World, Renaud Lambiotte
Renaud Lambiotte
The capacity to collect fingerprints of individuals in online media has revolutionized the way researchers explore human society. Social systems can be seen as a nonlinear superposition of a multitude of complex social networks, where nodes represent individuals and links capture a variety of different social relations. Much emphasis has been put on the network topology of social interactions, however, the multidimensional nature of these interactions has largely been ignored, mostly because of lack of data. Here, for the first time, we analyze a complete, multirelational, large social network of a society consisting of the 300,000 odd players of a …

Social, technological and information systems can often be described in terms of complex networks that have a topology of interconnected nodes that combines organization and randomness. The typical size of large networks such as social network services, mobile phone networks or the web now counts in millions when not billions of nodes and these scales demand new methods to retrieve comprehensive information from their structure. A promising approach consists in decomposing the networks into sub-units or communities, which are sets of highly connected nodes. The identification of these communities is of crucial importance as they may help to uncover a-priori …
