A parameterizable influence spread-based centrality measure for influential users detection in social networks

作者:

Highlights:

• We propose a new centrality measure based on influence spread models.

• This measure accepts different parameters regarding the neighborhoods activation.

• We apply two experiments with 257 executions using different parameter settings.

• For well-connected networks, the depth level of neighborhoods is critical.

• For loosely connected networks, the initial activation probability of the neighbors is critical.
