Explaining social events through community evolution on temporal networks

作者：

Highlights：

• Establish a connection between the evolution of social networks and real social events.

• Capture the “impact” of social events on social networks through the change point detection model on temporal networks.

• Reveal the microstructure evolution mechanism implicit in social events through the evolution of communities.

• Explain the patterns of human behavior behind social events in two real social network cases.
