Sinks
Either the document “invents” the idea or the head of the citation arc was
not sampled in the dataset.
Weak vs. Strong - Dimensional Data can help identify Weak Sinks
|Si ∩ Sj |
Di,j =1 −
|Si ∪ Sj |
Si :the set of sink vertex IDs for vertex i
Note that this is only one way to translate from similarity to distance.
Also note that distance between vertices i and j don’t change over
time.
