User ratings analysis in social networks through a hypernetwork method

作者：

Highlights：

• We build theoretical foundation on the concept of hypernetwork and topological characteristics.

• The method we proposed was applied to analyze the data from Douban social network.

• The topological characteristics could better reflect the relationship between users and objects.

• Our research results contribute to empirical analysis of other similar networks.
