You are how you click: clickstream analysis for Sybil detection
TL;DR: A detection approach that groups "similar" user clickstreams into behavioral clusters, by partitioning a similarity graph that captures distances between clickstream sequences, and shows that it provides very high detection accuracy on clickstream traces.

Social Turing Tests: Crowdsourcing Sybil Detection
Gang Wang,Manish Mohanlal,Christo Wilson,Xiao Wang,Miriam J. Metzger,Haitao Zheng,Ben Y. Zhao +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore the feasibility of a crowdsourced Sybil detection system for Online Social Networks (OSNs) and conduct a large user study on the ability of humans to detect today's Sybil accounts, using a large corpus of ground-truth sybil accounts from the Facebook and Renren networks.

Social Turing Tests: Crowdsourcing Sybil Detection
Gang Wang,Manish Mohanlal,Christo Wilson,Xiao Wang,Miriam J. Metzger,Haitao Zheng,Ben Y. Zhao +6 more
TL;DR: A large user study on the ability of humans to detect today's Sybil accounts is conducted, using a large corpus of ground-truth Sybils from the Facebook and Renren networks and finds that while turkers vary significantly in their effectiveness, experts consistently produce near-optimal results.

Phoenix: A Weight-Based Network Coordinate System Using Matrix Factorization
TL;DR: This paper proposes an NC system, so-called Phoenix, which is based on the matrix factorization model, and shows that Phoenix achieves a scalable yet accurate end-to-end distances monitoring and is able to characterize TIV better than other existing NC systems.

Multi-scale Dynamics in a Massive Online Social Network
Xiaohan Zhao,Alessandra Sala,Christo Wilson,Xiao Wang,Sabrina Gaito,Haitao Zheng,Ben Y. Zhao +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present results of analyzing detailed dynamics in the Renren social network, covering a period of 2 years when the network grew from 1 user to 19 million users and 199 million edges.
