Imagine you have a bunch of fruits like apples, oranges, and bananas. Each fruit
has characteristics like color, size, and taste. In classification, we use these
features to group fruits into different categories. So, apples might go into the
"red fruits" category, oranges into "orange fruits," and bananas into "yellow
fruits."
3. **Merge the two clusters with the smallest distance.** This creates a new
cluster.
4. **Repeat steps 2 and 3 until all data points belong to one big cluster.**
Here's an example:
[Diagram]
For instance, if the distance between cluster A and cluster B is the shortest, we
merge them into one cluster. Then we repeat the process until all points belong
to one cluster.
6. **Content Quality:** The quality of the answer itself, including its clarity,
completeness, and helpfulness, can influence ranking. Social networks may use
algorithms to assess content quality based on factors like grammar, formatting,
and length.
Overall, answer ranking in social networks aims to present users with the most
relevant, engaging, and trustworthy answers to their questions or posts,
enhancing the user experience and fostering meaningful interactions within the
community.

In relational databases, data is organized into tables with rows and columns.
Keyword search over relational data involves finding records or rows that
contain specific keywords or phrases within the text fields of the database.
a) **What is homophily?**
Homophily is a fancy word that describes how people tend to hang out or
connect with others who are similar to them. It's like how birds of a feather
flock together. People often form friendships or social connections with others
who share similar interests, backgrounds, beliefs, or characteristics. For
example, you might notice that your friends have similar hobbies, go to the
same school, or share the same cultural background as you. That's homophily at
work!
b) **What is influence?**
Influence is about how one person's actions or opinions can affect the actions or
opinions of others. Think of it like a ripple effect. When someone shares an
idea, recommendation, or behavior, it can influence the people around them to
think, feel, or act in a similar way. For instance, if a popular celebrity starts
using a new product, their fans might also start using it because they're
influenced by the celebrity's endorsement.
Homophily and influence are related concepts, but they're not quite the same:
- **Homophily** is about similarity. It explains why people with similar traits
or interests tend to hang out together or form connections.
- **Influence**, on the other hand, is about the power of one person's actions or
opinions to affect others. It's about how people can be persuaded or inspired by
what they see or hear from others.
So, while homophily explains why people with similar traits tend to group
together, influence describes how one person's actions or opinions can spread
and affect others, regardless of whether they're similar or different. In simpler
terms, homophily is about birds of a feather flocking together, while influence is
about how one bird's chirp can make other birds start chirping too!
Sure, let's go through each term step by step:
The edge reversal test is a way to understand the causal relationship between
two variables in a network. It involves changing the direction of edges
(connections) in the network and observing how it affects a certain outcome.
Imagine you have a social network where nodes represent people, and edges
represent friendships. Let's say you want to test whether having more friends
influences a person's happiness. You could conduct an edge reversal test by
reversing some of the friendship connections and observing if it changes the
level of happiness.
For example, let's say person A is friends with person B, and person B is friends
with person C. In the original network, the direction of the edges goes from A to
B and from B to C. In the edge reversal test, you might reverse the edge
between A and B so that it goes from B to A. Then, you observe if this change
affects the happiness levels of person A and person C. If it does, it suggests that
the direction of friendships influences happiness.
For example, let's say you want to test if a new teaching method improves
students' test scores compared to the traditional method. You could conduct a
randomization test by randomly assigning students to either the new method
group or the traditional method group. Then, you compare the test scores
between the two groups. By repeating this process many times, you can see if
the observed difference in test scores is larger than what would be expected by
chance.
For example, let's say you want to test if there is assortativity in a social
network, meaning if nodes tend to connect to similar nodes. You could conduct
a shuffle test by randomly rewiring the edges in the network while preserving
the degree distribution (number of connections per node). Then, you compare
the assortativity coefficient of the original network with the distribution of
assortativity coefficients obtained from many shufflings. If the original
network's assortativity coefficient is significantly different from the shuffled
networks, it suggests that there is assortativity in the network.
d) **What is assortativity?**
Assortativity is a measure of the tendency of nodes in a network to connect to
similar nodes. In simpler terms, it's about whether nodes with certain
characteristics tend to connect to other nodes with similar characteristics.
Here's a breakdown:
Individual behavior analysis looks at how people act, react, and interact on
social media platforms as individuals. It's like zooming in on one person's
actions and understanding why they do what they do online.
Here's how it works:
2. **Motivations and Preferences:** It's not just about what people do, but also
why they do it. Researchers try to understand the motivations behind individual
actions on social media. For example, why someone shares a particular post or
follows certain accounts.
Collective behavior analysis, on the other hand, looks at how groups of people
behave and interact on social media platforms. It's like zooming out and
observing patterns and trends among large groups of users.
1. **Social Graph Analysis:** This involves analyzing the social graph, which
represents the relationships between users on a social media platform (such as
friends, followers, connections). Recommendations can be influenced by the
preferences and actions of a user's social connections.
Here's a breakdown:

When we talk about querying human language data with TF-IDF while mining
web pages, it's like searching for specific information on the internet in a way
that understands human language. Here's a simple explanation:
1. **Crawling Web Pages:** Imagine sending out little robots to explore the
internet and bring back information. That's what crawling web pages means.
These robots, called web crawlers, visit different websites and collect data like
text, images, and links.
2. **Querying Human Language Data:** Now, let's say you want to search for
something on the internet, like "best pizza recipes." But instead of typing those
exact words, you use more natural language, like asking a question: "What are
some delicious pizza recipes?" Querying human language data means searching
for information using sentences or phrases that people use in everyday
language.
**4. Parsing:**
- Parsing refers to the process of analyzing the structure of text data to extract
meaningful information.
- In the context of web pages, parsing involves breaking down the HTML
code or text content into its constituent parts, such as paragraphs, headings, or
individual words.
- Once the text data is parsed, we can apply techniques like tokenization to
break it into individual words or tokens, which can then be analyzed further.
**Putting it Together:**
- When querying human language data with TF-IDF mining web pages,
parsing plays a crucial role in preprocessing the text data.
- We parse the web pages to extract the text content, then apply TF-IDF
analysis to evaluate the importance of words in the documents.
- This allows us to identify the most relevant terms or keywords within the
text data, which can then be used for querying or other analytical purposes.
1. **Term Frequency (TF):** This measures how often a term (word) appears
in a document. The more times a term appears in a document, the higher its term
frequency.
4. **Example:** Let's say we have a document about pizza recipes. The term
"cheese" appears 10 times in the document, and "pizza" appears 50 times.
However, "cheese" is a common ingredient in many recipes, so its IDF value
might be low. On the other hand, "pizza" is less common in other types of
documents, so its IDF value might be higher. Therefore, even though "pizza"
appears more frequently in the document, its TF-IDF score might be lower than
that of "cheese."
Mining Google+ API means extracting information from Google's social media
platform, Google+, using its application programming interface (API). Here's
how it works:
2. **Data Retrieval:** Using the API, developers can retrieve specific data by
making requests to Google's servers. For example, they can request information
about a user's profile or retrieve posts from a particular user or community.
Overall, mining Google+ API involves accessing and analyzing data from
Google's social media platform using its API to extract valuable information and
insights.
When we talk about the quality of analysis for processing human language data,
we're evaluating how well a system understands and interprets language. Here
are some aspects of quality analysis:
By evaluating these aspects, we can assess the overall quality of analysis for
processing human language data and improve systems to better meet users'
needs and expectations.

1. **Syntax:** Syntax refers to the structure and rules governing how words are
organized to form meaningful sentences. Analyzing syntax involves looking at
things like word order, sentence structure, and grammatical rules.
5. **Example:** For example, consider the sentence "The cat chased the
mouse." By analyzing the syntax, we can identify the subject ("cat"), the verb
("chased"), and the object ("mouse"). From there, we can infer the semantics:
the cat is performing the action of chasing the mouse.
