DESCRIPTION
In social and economic lives, everything (e.g. people, information, business, events) is becoming more and more connected with the development of technologies such as social networks (e.g. Facebook, Twitter) and information networks (e.g. the Web). A practical way of making sense of these types of data is to analyse them as networks.
This subject introduces the students to basic concepts in social and information networks, metrics to characterise networks, models to explain the generation of networks, and methods to analyse networks. The students learn to use software tools to visualise and analyse real-world network data. The subject also introduces a wide variety of applications in social and information networks such as user recommendation and web search.
