“Structure and Evolution of Online Social Networks”

Monday, April 2, 2007

Northeastern University


Abstract:
Online social networks have become major and driving phenomena on the web.

In this talk we focus on the properties of two large online social
networks, namely, the LiveJournal network of friends and the Flickr
network of contacts. In the context of LiveJournal, we formulate a
simple and general model of social networks that can explain the success
of Milgram's famous experiment that gave rise to 'six-degrees of
separation'. In the context of Flickr, we focus on the temporal
evolution of social networks from a graph-structure point of view.

Host: Ravi Sundaram
