Standing on the Shoulders of Others: Network Ties and Individual Creativity
"... Social network theory elaborates how network ties can generate social capital through structural access and relational mechanism, then to enhance individual creativity. By categorizing network ties into strong and weak in terms of tie strength, this article discusses how individuals may utilize diff ..."

On the Interplay between Social and Topical Structure ∗
"... People’s interests and people’s social relationships are intuitively connected, but understanding their interplay and whether they can help predict each other has remained an open question. We examine the interface of two decisive structures forming the backbone of online social media: the graph str ..."

that the social relationships between the initial adopters of a hashtag can predict the future popularity of that hashtag. By studying weighted social relationships, we observe that while strong reciprocated ties are the easiest to predict from hashtag structure, they are also much less useful than weak directed
Visualization and Analysis of Social Networks of Research Funding
"... This paper describes a longitudinal analysis of the social networks formed by research collaborations at a Carnegie I research university. Over the last several years, many federal agencies, e.g., NSF, NIH, DOE, have recommended that funding proposals be submitted by collaborative interdisciplinary ..."

This is based on theory that more weak-tie relationships will lead to an increase in innovation. By modeling, visualizing and analyzing these social networks, we compare

Transfer Link Prediction across Heterogeneous Social Networks
"... Interpersonal ties are responsible for the structure of social networks and the transmission of informa-tion through these networks. Different types of social ties have essentially different influence on people. Awareness of the types of social ties can benefit many applications such as recommendati ..."

R.: Bayesian credibility modeling for personalized recommendation in participatory media
- Proceedings of the 18th International Conference on User Modeling, Adaptation, and Personalization (UMAP), Lecture Notes in Computer Science
"... Abstract. In this paper, we focus on the challenge that users face in processing messages on the web posted in participatory media settings, such as blogs. It is desirable to recommend to users a restricted set of messages that may be most valuable to them. Credibility of a mes-sage is an important ..."
