FLP-ID: Fuzzy-based link prediction in multiplex social networks using information diffusion perspective

作者：

Highlights：

• The link prediction aims to predict the missing and future links in social networks.

• Topological network integration is performed to generate a multiplex network.

• A community-based framework is utilized to predict missing links.

• A fuzzy-based algorithm is presented using individual and collective relevance.

• This study validates the performance of the proposed algorithm.
