Optimizing Online Social Networks for Information Propagation
TLDR
This paper designs a new similarity measure which takes into account users' activity frequencies and finds that previous social recommendation methods lead to serious delay of information propagation since many users are connected to inactive leaders.
Effects of the bipartite structure of a network on performance of recommenders
Membership in social networks and the application in information filtering
TLDR
It is found that the users who have collected only a few objects are more likely to be “influenced” by the membership when choosing objects, and a social diffusion recommendation algorithm is designed which can effectively solve the user cold-start problem.
Personalized recommendation via an improved NBI algorithm and user influence model in a Microblog network
Recommendation of Leaders in Online Social Systems
TLDR
The simulation results on real networks show that the proposed leader recommendation method can accurately recommend the potential leaders and further investigation on recommendation diversity indicates that the recommendation method is very personalized.
Adaptive social recommendation in a multiple category landscape
TLDR
This work introduces a more realistic assumption that users’ tastes are modeled by multiple vectors, and designs novel measures of users�’ taste similarity that can substantially improve the precision of the recommender system.
How to predict recommendation lists that users do not like
Extracting the Information Backbone in Online System
TLDR
This paper designs some algorithms to improve the recommendation performance by eliminating some links from the original networks and proposes a hybrid method combining the time-aware and topology-aware link removal algorithms to extract the backbone which contains the essential information for the recommender systems.

Empirical analysis of web-based user-object bipartite networks
TLDR
This letter reports the empirical analysis on two large-scale web sites, audioscrobbler.com and del.icio.us, and proposes a new index, named collaborative similarity, to quantify the diversity of tastes based on the collaborative selection.
Effects of high-order correlations on personalized recommendations for bipartite networks
Effect of user tastes on personalized recommendation
TLDR
The effects of user tastes on the mass-diffusion-based personalized recommendation algorithm, where a user's tastes or interests are defined by the average degree of the objects he has collected, are studied and it is argued that the initial recommendation power located on the objects should be determined by both of their degree and the user's taste.
CAN DISSIMILAR USERS CONTRIBUTE TO ACCURACY AND DIVERSITY OF PERSONALIZED RECOMMENDATION
TLDR
This paper proposes a recommendation algorithm by considering both the effects of similar and dissimilar users under the framework of collaborative filtering, and shows that it performs much better than the standard collaborative filtering algorithm for both accuracy and diversity.

TLDR
A recommendation algorithm based on the preferential diffusion process on a user-object bipartite network that can not only provide more accurate recommendations, but also generate more diverse and novel recommendations by accurately recommending unpopular objects.
Why Does Collaborative Filtering Work? Transaction-Based Recommendation Model Validation and Selection by Analyzing Bipartite Random Graphs
TLDR
This paper develops initial understanding of the recommendation model/algorithm validation and selection issues based on the graph topological modeling methodology and demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed bipartitegraph topological measures in selection and validation of commonly used heuristic-based recommendation algorithms, the user-based, item- based, and graph-based algorithms.
Spontaneous emergence of social influence in online systems
TLDR
It is demonstrated that even when external signals are absent, social influence can spontaneously assume an on–off nature in a digital environment.
The reinforcing influence of recommendations on global diversification
TLDR
Simulating successive recommendations and measuring their influence on the dispersion of item popularity by Gini coefficient indicates that local diffusion and collaborative filtering reinforce the popularity of hot items, widening the popularity dispersion, and suggests that recommender systems have reinforcing influence on global diversification.

TLDR
This article proposes a method for detecting communities, built around the idea of using centrality indices to find community boundaries, and tests it on computer-generated and real-world graphs whose community structure is already known and finds that the method detects this known structure with high sensitivity and reliability.
