Foundations and modelling of dynamic networks using Dynamic Graph Neural Networks: A survey
Dynamic networks are used in a wide range of fields, including social network
analysis, recommender systems, and epidemiology. Representing complex networks
as structures changing over time allow network models to leverage not only
structural but also temporal patterns. However, as dynamic network literature
stems from diverse fields and makes use of inconsistent terminology, it is
challenging to navigate. Meanwhile, graph neural networks (GNNs) have gained a
lot of attention in recent years for their ability to perform well on a range
of network science tasks, such as link prediction and node classification.
Despite the popularity of graph neural networks and the proven benefits of
dynamic network models, there has been little focus on graph neural networks
for dynamic networks. To address the challenges resulting from the fact that
this research crosses diverse fields as well as to survey dynamic graph neural
networks, this work is split into two main parts. First, to address the
ambiguity of the dynamic network terminology we establish a foundation of
dynamic networks with consistent, detailed terminology and notation. Second, we
present a comprehensive survey of dynamic graph neural network models using the
proposed terminologyComment: 28 pages, 9 figures, 8 table
Securing Heterogeneous Privacy Protection in Social Network Records based Encryption Scheme
This survey places of interest the major issues concerning privacy and security in online social networks. Firstly, we discuss investigate that aims to protect user data from the an assortment of attack vantage points together with other users, advertisers, third party request developers, and the online social arrangement provider itself. Next we cover social network supposition of user attributes, locate hubs, and link prediction. Because online social networks are so saturated with sensitive information, network inference plays a major privacy role. Social Networking sites go upwards since of all these reasons. In recent years indicates that for many people they are now the mainstream communication knowledge. Social networking sites come under few of the most frequently browsed categories websites in the world. Nevertheless Social Networking sites are also vulnerable to various problems threats and attacks such as revelation of information, identity thefts etc. Privacy practice in social networking sites often appear convoluted as in sequence sharing stands in discord with the need to reduce disclosure-related abuses. Facebook is one such most popular and widely used Social Networking sites which have its own healthy set of Privacy policy
Influence of Personal Preferences on Link Dynamics in Social Networks
We study a unique network dataset including periodic surveys and electronic
logs of dyadic contacts via smartphones. The participants were a sample of
freshmen entering university in the Fall 2011. Their opinions on a variety of
political and social issues and lists of activities on campus were regularly
recorded at the beginning and end of each semester for the first three years of
study. We identify a behavioral network defined by call and text data, and a
cognitive network based on friendship nominations in ego-network surveys. Both
networks are limited to study participants. Since a wide range of attributes on
each node were collected in self-reports, we refer to these networks as
attribute-rich networks. We study whether student preferences for certain
attributes of friends can predict formation and dissolution of edges in both
networks. We introduce a method for computing student preferences for different
attributes which we use to predict link formation and dissolution. We then rank
these attributes according to their importance for making predictions. We find
that personal preferences, in particular political views, and preferences for
common activities help predict link formation and dissolution in both the
behavioral and cognitive networks.Comment: 12 page
