Abstract

In the real-world online social networks, users also tend to form different social groups. Users belonging to the same groups usually have more frequent interactions with each other, while those in different groups will have less interactions on the other hand. Formally, such social groups form by users in online social networks are called the online social communities. Online social communities will partition the network into a number of components, where the intra-community social connections are usually far more dense compared with the inter-community social connections. Meanwhile, from the mathematical representation perspective, due to these online social communities, the social network adjacency matrix tend to be not only sparse but also low-rank.
