Social networks are commonly used for marketing purposes. For example, free samples of a product can be given to a few influential social network users (or "seed nodes"), with the hope that they will convince their friends to buy it. One…
Online social networks have become an important platform for people to communicate, share knowledge and disseminate information. Given the widespread usage of social media, individuals' ideas, preferences and behavior are often influenced…
Influence maximization (IM), which selects a set of $k$ users (called seeds) to maximize the influence spread over a social network, is a fundamental problem in a wide range of applications such as viral marketing and network monitoring.…
Influence maximization (IM) is a classic problem that aims to identify a small group of critical individuals, known as seeds, who can influence the largest number of users in a social network through word-of-mouth. This problem finds…
Influence Maximization (IM) aims to maximize the number of people that become aware of a product by finding the `best' set of `seed' users to initiate the product advertisement. Unlike prior arts on static social networks containing fixed…
Influence maximization (IM) is an important topic in network science where a small seed set is chosen to maximize the spread of influence on a network. Recently, this problem has attracted attention on temporal networks where the network…
Influence maximization (IM) aims to find seed users on an online social network to maximize the spread of information about a target product through word-of-mouth propagation among all users. Prior IM methods mostly focus on maximizing the…
Influence maximization (IM) is formulated as selecting a set of initial users from a social network to maximize the expected number of influenced users. Researchers have made great progress in designing various traditional methods, and…
Given a budget and arbitrary cost for selecting each node, the budgeted influence maximization (BIM) problem concerns selecting a set of seed nodes to disseminate some information that maximizes the total number of nodes influenced (termed…
Influence maximization (IM) has been extensively studied for better viral marketing. However, previous works put less emphasis on how balancedly the audience are affected across different communities and how diversely the seed nodes are…
A premise at a heart of network analysis is that entities in a network derive utilities from their connections. The {\em influence} of a seed set $S$ of nodes is defined as the sum over nodes $u$ of the {\em utility} of $S$ to $u$. {\em…
Influence maximization (IM) is a fundamental problem in complex network analysis, with a wide range of real-world applications. To date, existing approaches to influential node identification in IM have predominantly relied on standard…
Influence Maximization(IM) aims to identify highly influential nodes to maximize influence spread in a network. Previous research on the IM problem has mainly concentrated on single-layer networks, disregarding the comprehension of the…
Given a social network $G$ and an integer $k$, the influence maximization (IM) problem asks for a seed set $S$ of $k$ nodes from $G$ to maximize the expected number of nodes influenced via a propagation model. The majority of the existing…
Influence maximization (IM) is the task of finding the most important nodes in order to maximize the spread of influence or information on a network. This task is typically studied on static or temporal networks where the complete topology…
Influence maximization (IM) is a combinatorial problem of identifying a subset of nodes called the seed nodes in a network (graph), which when activated, provide a maximal spread of influence in the network for a given diffusion model and a…
A social network (SN) is a social structure consisting of a group representing the interaction between them. SNs have recently been widely used and, subsequently, have become suitable and popular platforms for product promotion and…
Influence maximization (IM) is the problem of identifying a limited number of initial influential users within a social network to maximize the number of influenced users. However, previous research has mostly focused on individual…
In the influence maximization (IM) problem, we are given a social network and a budget $k$, and we look for a set of $k$ nodes in the network, called seeds, that maximize the expected number of nodes that are reached by an influence cascade…
In social networks, individuals' decisions are strongly influenced by recommendations from their friends and acquaintances. The influence maximization (IM) problem asks to select a seed set of users that maximizes the influence spread,…
