RankMerging: Apprentissage supervisé de classements pour la prédiction de liens dans les grands réseaux sociaux
In EGC 2015, vol. RNTI-E-28, pp.395-400
Abstract
Uncovering missing links in social networks is a difficult task because of their sparsity, and because links may represent different types of relationships, characterized by different structural patterns. In this paper, we define a simple supervised learning-to-rank framework, called RankMerging, which aims at combining information provided by various unsupervised rankings. As an illustration, we apply the method to the case of a cell phone service provider, which aims at discovering links among contractors of its competitors. We show that our method substantially improves the performance of the available classification methods.
