Uncertainty-Aware Fuzzy Centrality Measures for Influential Node Identification: A Structural Modeling Approach Toward E-Commerce Applications

Social and Information Networks 2026-04-28 v1

Abstract

In recent years, e-commerce platforms have become one of the most prominent examples of large-scale interaction networks, where understanding influence dynamics among users, products, and digital entities is essential for applications such as online marketing, recommendation systems, and customer behavior analysis. A key challenge in these platforms is that interactions are often uncertain, noisy, and inferred from implicit signals rather than explicitly defined relationships. This uncertainty cannot be effectively captured using deterministic network models...
