  1. Extraction and Analysis of Social Networks Datasets Luis Perez Cruz University of Houston Dr. RongZheng REU Program

  2. Background • Usefulness of Online Social Networks. • Spread of Influence • Word-of-Mouth.

  3. Example Inactive Node 0.6 Active Node Threshold 0.2 0.2 0.3 Active neighbors X 0.1 0.4 U 0.3 0.5 Stop! 0.2 0.5 w v

  4. Purpose • Collect datasets from online social networks. • Extract Quantitative Analysis from such Datasets.

  5. Exp. Procedure • Started crawling the web looking for public datasets corresponding to different online social networks. • Many Repositories were found. • Some flaws were found in most of the datasets: 1) Weak Networks. 2) Ambiguous Connections.

  6. Some Ambiguous Connections.

  7. Weak Network

  8. Exp. Procedure Cont’d: Use of APIs • API stands for Application Programming Interface. • Consists of a set of methods that allows communication or requests between software programs. • Common applications, operating systems, libraries and so on usually have their own API.

  9. Problem Faced • Most of them require to handle some kind of authentication in order to get the information we need. Oauth Workflow

  10. Solution • We ended up using the Twitter REST API. • It allows some unauthenticated requests to its API. • We can extract data such as: - UserId - FollowersId - Tweets sent to that user.

  11. Limitations of REST API • Only allows 150 requests per hour (unauthenticated calls). • Is changed constantly, usually due to deprecation of some features. • Abusing the rate limit can lead to my script being blacklisted.

  12. Analysis of Datasets • Analysis of datasets was divided into three categories: Average Number of Nodes: 48K Average Number of Edges: 113K Average Degree: 188 Average Max. Degree: 5,083

  13. Some Graphs Obtained

  14. Future Work • Use the Twitter Streaming API.It is the most reliable and secure way to get data from Twitter API. • Design some kind of useful application for the social-network user using the API, so the user can grant access to that application to his/her profile.
