Extracting the Information Backbone in Online System

Zhang, Qian-Ming ; Zeng, An ; Shang, Ming-Sheng

In: PLoS ONE, 2013, vol. 8, no. 5, p. e62624

Information overload is a serious problem in modern society and many solutions such as recommender system have been proposed to filter out irrelevant information. In the literature, researchers have been mainly dedicated to improving the recommendation performance (accuracy and diversity) of the algorithms while they have overlooked the influence of topology of the online user-object bipartite...

Similarity-based classification in partially labeled networks

Zhang, Qian-Ming ; Shang, Ming-Sheng ; Lü, Linyuan

In: International Journal of Modern Physics C, 2010, vol. 21, no. 6, p. 813-824

Two main difficulties in the problem of classification in partially labeled networks are the sparsity of the known labeled nodes and inconsistency of label information. To address these two difficulties, we propose a similarity-based method, where the basic assumption is that two nodes are more likely to be categorized into the same class if they are more similar. In this paper, we introduce ten...

Empirical comparison of local structural similarity indices for collaborative-filtering-based recommender systems

Zhang, Qian-Ming ; Shang, Ming-Sheng ; Zeng, Wei ; Chen, Yong ; Lü, Linyuan

In: Physics Procedia, 2010, vol. 3, no. 5, p. 1887-1896

Collaborative filtering is one of the most successful recommendation techniques, which can effectively predict the possible future likes of users based on their past preferences. The key problem of this method is how to define the similarity between users. A standard approach is using the correlation between the ratings that two users give to a set of objects, such as Cosine index and Pearson...
