Abstract

With the growing number of users and the huge amount of information in dynamic social networks, contextualizing community detection has been a challenging task. Thus, modeling these social networks is a key issue for the process of contextualized community detection. In this work, we propose a temporal multiplex information graph-based model to represent dynamic social networks: we consider simultaneously the social network dynamicity, its structure (different social connections) and various members’ profiles so as to calculate similarities between “nodes” in each specific context. Finally a comparative study on a real social network shows the efficiency of our approach and illustrates practical uses.
