Data Mining Through Fuzzy Social Network Analysis

TLDR
A method to consolidate the information content of the fuzzy graph is proposed and a new fuzzy binary operation called consolidation operation is also introduced.
Abstract
In this paper, fuzzy theory has been applied to social network analysis (SNA). Social network analysis models meaningful relations that exist between entities as graph. These entities may be people, events, organizations, symbols in text, sounds in verbalizations, nations of the world and so on. However, the fuzzy graph can be very huge and thus the ability to arrive at meaningful conclusions in a timely fashion may be quite difficult. With this in mind, a method to consolidate the information content of the fuzzy graph is proposed. Since none of the existing fuzzy binary operations meet the requirements, a new fuzzy binary operation called consolidation operation is also introduced.

A New Fuzzy Propagation Model for Influence Maximization in Social Networks

TL;DR: In this article , a fuzzy propagation model is proposed to solve the influence maximization problem in social networks, where a fuzzy zero forcing set (ZFS) concept is used to model social networks as fuzzy directed graphs and an application-oriented propagation process is proposed.

Fuzzy sets and systems

TL;DR: Fuzzy sets as mentioned in this paper are a class of classes in which there may be grades of membership intermediate between full membership and non-membership, i.e., a fuzzy set is characterized by a membership function which assigns to each object its grade of membership.
