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 Novel Classification Method From the Perspective of Fuzzy Social Networks Based on Physical and Implicit Style Features of Data

TL;DR: A novel unified classification framework based on the proposed fuzzy social network and its dynamics about fuzzy influences of nodes that demonstrates distinctive superiority on five case studies where satisfactory classification certainly depends on both physical and implicit style features.

Time-series prediction based on global fuzzy measure in social networks

TL;DR: Experimental results demonstrate that the fuzzy network has more superiority than the traditional network in describing the network evolution process and calculating the global fuzzy measure such as network density and centralization.

A fuzzy social network centrality analysis model for interpersonal spatial relations

TL;DR: An evaluation index system, which contains fuzzy comentropy, fuzzy node degree, fuzzy condensation degrees, fuzzy cluster coefficient and fuzzy geographic concentration, is developed and proves that the proposed method can effectively reveal the essence of fuzzy centralities.

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.
