TLDR
A semi-supervised approach is proposed that uses the concept of random-walk for prediction of binary labels for edges in undirected and unweighted networks.
Abstract
Mining of signed networks where the links/edges between nodes have a positive or negative sign/label, is getting the attention of researchers and practitioners due to its wide realworld applicability in various domains. Label prediction for nodes in a network is a well-known and explored problem. However, the prediction of labels for edges in a network is relatively less explored, and very challenging and interesting problem. In this paper, we consider the problem of binary label prediction for edges in undirected and unweighted networks. The prediction of binary labels has a number of applications in realworld like friend/foe prediction, recommendation, trust/distrust prediction in social networks, and categorization. In this work, a semi-supervised approach is proposed that uses the concept of random-walk for prediction of binary labels for edges. In this paper, we demonstrate the viability and the effectiveness of the proposed approach using a real-world network.

LoCEC: Local Community-based Edge Classification in Large Online Social Networks

TL;DR: Li et al. as discussed by the authors proposed a Local Community-based Edge Classification (LoCEC) framework that classifies user relationships in a social network into real-world social connection types, which enforces a three-phase processing, namely local community detection, community classification and relationship classification.

Predicting positive and negative links in online social networks

TL;DR: These models provide insight into some of the fundamental principles that drive the formation of signed links in networks, shedding light on theories of balance and status from social psychology and suggest social computing applications by which the attitude of one user toward another can be estimated from evidence provided by their relationships with other members of the surrounding social network.

Signed Networks in Social Media

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied how the interplay between positive and negative relationships affects the structure of on-line social networks and found that the classical theory of structural balance tends to capture certain common patterns of interaction, but that it is also at odds with some of the fundamental phenomena they observe.
