Title
Link prediction combining network structure and topic distribution in large-scale directed network
Abstract
Link prediction is one of the most important personalized services in social network platforms. The key point is to predict the probability of the existence of a link between two nodes based on various information in the network. This article combines information of the network structure with the user-generated contents. We propose link prediction indices based on both network structure and topic distribution (NSTD). In contrast to previous literatures, this approach makes full use of the network characteristics, such as homophily, transitivity, clustering, and degree heterogeneity. And we combine these characteristics with topic similarity when constructing indices based on both directly and indirectly connected nodes. Experiment results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms the previous methods.
