  1. Mining Social Networks Using Heat Diffusion Processes for marketing candidates selection Hao Ma, Haixuan Yang, Michael R. Lyu and Irwin King CIKM, 2008. Reported by Wen-Chung Liao, 2009/10/6

  2. Outlines • Motivation • Objectives • Diffusion models • Marketing candidates selection algorithms and their complexity • Empirical analysis • Conclusions • Comments

  3. Motivation • Due to the complexity of social networks, few models exist to interpret social network marketing realistically. • Studies of innovation diffusions, they were descriptive, rather than predictive • they are built at a very coarse level, typically with only a few global parameters • and are not useful for making actual predictions of the future behavior of the network.

  4. Objectives • Model social network marketing using Heat Diffusion Processes. • Presents three diffusion models, along with three algorithms for selecting the best individuals to receive marketing samples.

  5. HEAT DIFFUSION MODELS • The process of people influencing others is very similar to theheat diffusion phenomenon. • In a social network, the innovators and early adopters of a product or innovation act as heat sources.

  6. Diffusion on Undirected Social Networks G = (V,E) • G = (V,E) • V is the vertex set, and V = {v1, v2, . . . , vn}. • E is the set of all edges (vi, vj ). • fi(t) describes the heat at node vi at time t • fi(0) initial value. • f(t) denotes the vector consisting of fi(t). • M(i, j, Δt): amount of heat from node j to node i during a period Δt

  8. Marketing candidates selection O(N(PM+N +N logN)) O(kN(PM +N +d)) O(N(PM +N +kd))

  9. EMPIRICAL ANALYSIS • Epinions • maintains a “trust” list which presents a network of trust relationships between users, • product categories, “Kids & Family” • 75,888 users, and 508,960 edges • the initial heat vector f(0), choose N/k • the thermal conductivity value α, set α= 1 • the adoption threshold θ, set θ = 0.6 • t = 0.10, t = 0.15 and t = 0.20, unit??? • Scenario: • 1 to 20 product samples (k =20) • the marketing candidates? • performance (measured by the value of coverage) ?

  10. EMPIRICAL ANALYSIS

  11. Conclusion • Propose a social network marketing framework which includes three diffusion models and three marketing candidates selection algorithms. • Model social network marketing as realistically as possible • Can defend against diffusion of negative information, • This framework is scalable.

  12. Comments • Advantage • Realistic & scalable. • Defend against diffusion of negative information • Shortage • Static social network. • My opinion:
