Abstract

The structure of a social network changes over time. Structural change is usually studied by observing interactions within the network. The evolution of a community depends upon the changes in activity and communication patterns of individuals in the network. The major events and transitions that occur in a community are birth, death, merging, splitting, reform, expansion and shrinkage. Here, we focus on tracking and analyzing various events of a community which change over time. This chapter predicts the survival of communities based on events by extracting their most influential features.
