TLDR
Recent progress about link prediction algorithms is summarized, emphasizing on the contributions from physical perspectives and approaches, such as the random-walk-based methods and the maximum likelihood methods.Abstract:
Link prediction in complex networks has attracted increasing attention from both physical and computer science communities. The algorithms can be used to extract missing information, identify spurious interactions, evaluate network evolving mechanisms, and so on. This article summaries recent progress about link prediction algorithms, emphasizing on the contributions from physical perspectives and approaches, such as the random-walk-based methods and the maximum likelihood methods. We also introduce three typical applications: reconstruction of networks, evaluation of network evolving mechanism and classification of partially labeled networks. Finally, we introduce some applications and outline future challenges of link prediction algorithms.read more

The power of indirect ties
TL;DR: It is shown via data-driven experiments that the proposed metric for social strength can be used successfully for social applications and alleviates known problems in friend-to-friend storage systems by addressing two previously documented shortcomings: reduced set of storage candidates and data availability correlations.
Exploiting behaviors of communities of twitter users for link prediction
TL;DR: This paper analyzes the viability of using a set of simple and non-expensive techniques that combine structural with community information for pre-dicting the existence of future links in a large-scale onlinesocial network, such as Twitter.

Improving link prediction in complex networks by adaptively exploiting multiple structural features of networks
TL;DR: This article analyzes different real networks to find that the structural features of different networks are remarkably different, and proposes an adaptive link prediction method to incorporate multiple structural features from the perspective of combination optimization.

Precision as a measure of predictability of missing links in real networks.
TL;DR: It is shown that a predictability limit can be estimated in real networks, and a method to approximate such a bound is proposed from real-world networks with missing links, which gives a benchmark to gauge the quality of link prediction methods inreal networks.

Link Prediction Adversarial Attack.
TL;DR: It is concluded that most deep model based and other state-of-art link prediction algorithms cannot escape the adversarial attack just like GAE and link prediction attack can be a robustness evaluation metric for current link prediction algorithm in attack defensibility.

Collective dynamics of small-world networks
TL;DR: Simple models of networks that can be tuned through this middle ground: regular networks ‘rewired’ to introduce increasing amounts of disorder are explored, finding that these systems can be highly clustered, like regular lattices, yet have small characteristic path lengths, like random graphs.

Equation of state calculations by fast computing machines
TL;DR: In this article, a modified Monte Carlo integration over configuration space is used to investigate the properties of a two-dimensional rigid-sphere system with a set of interacting individual molecules, and the results are compared to free volume equations of state and a four-term virial coefficient expansion.

Emergence of Scaling in Random Networks
TL;DR: A model based on these two ingredients reproduces the observed stationary scale-free distributions, which indicates that the development of large networks is governed by robust self-organizing phenomena that go beyond the particulars of the individual systems.

The meaning and use of the area under a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.
TL;DR: A representation and interpretation of the area under a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve obtained by the "rating" method, or by mathematical predictions based on patient characteristics, is presented and it is shown that in such a setting the area represents the probability that a randomly chosen diseased subject is (correctly) rated or ranked with greater suspicion than a random chosen non-diseased subject.

Statistical mechanics of complex networks
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple model based on the power-law degree distribution of real networks was proposed, which was able to reproduce the power law degree distribution in real networks and to capture the evolution of networks, not just their static topology.
