When engagement meets similarity: efficient (k, r)-core computation on social networks

F Zhang, Y Zhang, L Qin, W Zhang, X Lin - arXiv preprint arXiv:1611.03254, 2016 - arxiv.org
In this paper, we investigate the problem of (k, r)-core which intends to find cohesive
subgraphs on social networks considering both user engagement and similarity …

Preventing Unraveling in Social Networks: The Anchored -Core Problem

K Bhawalkar, J Kleinberg, K Lewi, T Roughgarden… - SIAM Journal on Discrete …, 2015 - SIAM
We consider a model of user engagement in social networks, where each player incurs a
cost to remain engaged but derives a benefit proportional to the number of engaged …

Finding critical users for social network engagement: The collapsed k-core problem

F Zhang, Y Zhang, L Qin, W Zhang, X Lin - Proceedings of the AAAI …, 2017 - ojs.aaai.org
In social networks, the leave of critical users may significantly break network engagement,
ie, lead a large number of other users to drop out. A popular model to measure social …

OLAK: an efficient algorithm to prevent unraveling in social networks

F Zhang, W Zhang, Y Zhang, L Qin, X Lin - Proceedings of the VLDB …, 2017 - dl.acm.org
In this paper, we study the problem of the anchored k-core. Given a graph G, an integer k
and a budget b, we aim to identify b vertices in G so that we can determine the largest …

[PDF][PDF] K-Core Maximization: An Edge Addition Approach.

Z Zhou, F Zhang, X Lin, W Zhang, C Chen - IJCAI, 2019 - ijcai.org
A popular model to measure the stability of a network is k-core-the maximal induced
subgraph in which every vertex has at least k neighbors. Many studies maximize the number …

Global reinforcement of social networks: The anchored coreness problem

Q Linghu, F Zhang, X Lin, W Zhang… - Proceedings of the 2020 …, 2020 - dl.acm.org
The stability of a social network has been widely studied as an important indicator for both
the network holders and the participants. Existing works on reinforcing networks focus on a …

Efficiently reinforcing social networks over user engagement and tie strength

F Zhang, Y Zhang, L Qin, W Zhang… - 2018 IEEE 34th …, 2018 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
User engagement and tie strength are fundamental and important components in social
networks. The model of k-truss not only captures actively engaged users, but also ensures …

Finding top-r influential communities under aggregation functions

Y Peng, S Bian, R Li, S Wang… - 2022 IEEE 38th …, 2022 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Community search is a problem that seeks cohesive and connected subgraphs in a graph
that satisfy certain topology constraints, eg, degree constraints. The majority of existing …

Critical nodes identification in large networks: the inclined and detached models

R Sun, C Chen, X Liu, S Xu, X Wang, X Lin - World Wide Web, 2022 - Springer
In social networks, the departure of some users can lead to the dropout of others from the
community in cascade. Therefore, the engagement of critical users can significantly …

Incremental graph computation: Anchored vertex tracking in dynamic social networks

T Cai, S Yang, J Li, QZ Sheng, J Yang… - … on Knowledge and …, 2022 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
User engagement has recently received significant attention in understanding the decay and
expansion of communities in many online social networking platforms. When a user chooses …
