Online Social Networks (OSNs), such as Facebook and Twitter, have become an integral part of our daily lives. There are hundreds of OSNs, each with its own focus in that each offers particular services and functionalities. Recent studies…
Several one-fits-all intervention policies were introduced by the Online Social Networks (OSNs) platforms to mitigate potential harms. Nevertheless, some studies showed the limited effectiveness of these approaches. An alternative to this…
Currently, most of the online social networks (OSN) keep their data secret and in centralized manner. Researchers are allowed to crawl the underlying social graphs (and data) but with limited rates, leading to only partial views of the true…
In this study, the influence of objects is investigated in the scenario of human action recognition with large number of classes. We hypothesize that the objects the humans are interacting will have good say in determining the action being…
Decentralized Online Social Networks (DOSNs) represent a growing trend in the social media landscape, as opposed to the well-known centralized peers, which are often in the spotlight due to privacy concerns and a vision typically focused on…
Social networks have ensured the expanding disproportion between the face of WWW stored traditionally in search engine repositories and the actual ever changing face of Web. Exponential growth of web users and the ease with which they can…
User preference profiling is an important task in modern online social networks (OSN). With the proliferation of image-centric social platforms, such as Pinterest, visual contents have become one of the most informative data streams for…
In this paper, we explore salient questions about user interests, conversations and friendships in the Facebook social network, using a novel latent space model that integrates several data types. A key challenge of studying Facebook's data…
Networks represent relationships between entities in many complex systems, spanning from online social interactions to biological cell development and brain connectivity. In many cases, relationships between entities are unambiguously…
Several messages express opinions about events, products, and services, political views or even their author's emotional state and mood. Sentiment analysis has been used in several applications including analysis of the repercussions of…
Bipartite user-object networks are becoming increasingly popular in representing user interaction data in a web or e-commerce environment. They have certain characteristics and challenges that differentiates them from other bipartite…
One of the reasons behind the success of Social Network Analysis is its simple and general graph model made of nodes (representing individuals) and ties. However, when we focus on our daily on-line experience we must confront a more complex…
Online social networks are used frequently by many people: Staying in contact with friends and sharing experiences with them is very important. However, users are increasingly concerned that their data will end up in the hands of strangers…
Online Social Network (OSN) is one of the most hottest services in the past years. It preserves the life of users and provides great potential for journalists, sociologists and business analysts. Crawling data from social network is a basic…
Image-text matching tasks have recently attracted a lot of attention in the computer vision field. The key point of this cross-domain problem is how to accurately measure the similarity between the visual and the textual contents, which…
Privacy scoring aims at measuring the privacy violation risk of a user over an online social network (OSN). Existing work in the field rely on possibly biased or emotional survey data and focus only on personel purpose OSNs like Facebook.…
An increasing number of today's social interactions occurs using online social media as communication channels. Some online social networks have become extremely popular in the last decade. They differ among themselves in the character of…
In this study we arrive at a closed form expression for measuring vector assortativity in networks motivated by our use-case which is to observe patterns of social mobility in a society. Based on existing works on social mobility within…
To find interesting structure in networks, community detection algorithms have to take into account not only the network topology, but also dynamics of interactions between nodes. We investigate this claim using the paradigm of…
Social graphs, representing online friendships among users, are one of the fundamental types of data for many applications, such as recommendation, virality prediction and marketing in social media. However, this data may be unavailable due…
