Summary
This paper address the problem of Social Network Analysis using the method of Latent Space Models. More specifically, it addresses the problem of network evolution in social network analysis, by modelling the way in which the friendships drift over time. It efficiently learns this even when n is large, by assuming that nodes represented by points in the latent space do not make large movements over time. Hence it is a latent space model developed for dynamic analysis of social networks to predict the future link structure of the graph.
This technique is applied to NIPS data to analysis the dynamics of network evolution.
