python做社会网络分析_python：社会网络分析

SNA techniques are derived from sociological and

social-psychological theories and take into account the whole

network (or, in case of very large networks such as Twitter -- a

large segment of the network). Thus, we may arrive at results that

may seem counter-intuitive -- e.g. that Justin Bieber (7.5 mil.

followers) and Lady Gaga (7.2 mil. followers) have relatively

little actual influence despite their celebrity status -- while a

middle-of-the-road blogger with 30K followers is able to generate

tweets that "go viral" and result in millions of impressions.

In this tutorial, we will conduct social network analysis of a real

dataset, from gathering and cleaning data to analysis and

visualization of results. We will use Python and a set of

open-source libraries, including NetworkX, NumPy and

Matplotlib.

Outline:

Introduction. Why should we do this? What is the data like? Why is

this different from other techniques? What can we learn?

Centralities: Degree, closeness, betweenness, PageRank, Klout

Score

Beyond Klout Score: Finding communities of interest, finding

clusters in networks

Information diffusion in networks -- how do things go viral?
