Abstract

The emergence of Web-based communities and hosted services such as social networking sites has facilitated collaboration and knowledge sharing between users. Hence, it has become important to mine this vast pool of data in social networks, which are generally made of users linked by some specific interdependency such as friendship. For any user, some groups of his friends are more significant than others. In this paper, we propose a tree-based algorithm to mine social networks to help these users to distinguish their significant friend groups from all the friends in their social networks.
