Information flows in a network where individuals influence each other. The diffusion rate captures how efficiently the information can diffuse among the users in the network. We p...
In the blog world, bloggers produce information, establish relationships with other bloggers in order to exchange information, and form a blog network, an online social network. I...
A new genetic algorithm to detect communities in social networks is presented. The algorithm uses a fitness function able to identify groups of nodes in the network having dense ...
We address the combinatorial optimization problem of finding the most influential nodes on a large-scale social network for two widely-used fundamental stochastic diffusion models...
We propose a variation of the standard genetic algorithm that incorporates social interaction between the individuals in the population. Our goal is to understand the evolutionary...
