• Entities (persons, companies, organizations)• Connections between entities (friendship,
collaboration)

Example 1: Karate Club

Example 2: Communication in Organization (HP)

Example 3: Medieval Trading in Europe

Research Questions
• How do social networks form and how can we model the structure of Social Networks?
• How does information and innovation propagate in Social Networks?
• How do diseases propagate in Social Networks?• How does trade and buisiness work in Social
Networks? • How to detect communities within Social Networks? • ….

PART I: Homophily and Segregation
9
Properties of Nodes and Homophily
• Properties: age, gender, education, location, profession, political opinion, …
• Homophily: Similar nodes are more likely to form links.
• Reasons for homophily: – Selection of similar persons as contacts– Becoming more similar to contacts

Weak Structural Balance .

Balanced Unbalanced
Structural Balance: Global Consequences
22
Weak Structural Balance• In addition to triangles in Structural Balance: – Allow: triangles with 3 negative edges
• Global consequences:
23
Further Generalizations
• Incomplete networks: Structural Balance can be extended to complete balanced network by adding signed edges
• Approximate Balanced Networks: Balance property can be violated for fraction of triangles
24
International Relations
25
PART III: The Small World Phenomenon
26
Small World and „Six Degrees of Separation“
• Small Word Phenomenon: Paths connecting two people in a social network are short(Pop Culture: „Six Degrees of Separation“)
• Milgram Experiment (1960s): – Ask set of „starters“ to forward a letter to „target“
person– „starters“ are given some information, e.g. address,
occupation– Rule: forward letter to person‘s you know on a first-
name basis
