Abstract EN
In the era of big data, social network has become an important reflection of human communications and interactions on the Internet.
Identifying the influential spreaders in networks plays a crucial role in various areas, such as disease outbreak, virus propagation, and public opinion controlling.
Based on the three basic centrality measures, a comprehensive algorithm named PARW-Rank for evaluating node influences has been proposed by applying preference relation analysis and random walk technique.
For each basic measure, the preference relation between every node pair in a network is analyzed to construct the partial preference graph (PPG).
Then, the comprehensive preference graph (CPG) is generated by combining the preference relations with respect to three basic measures.
Finally, the ranking of nodes is determined by conducting random walk on the CPG.
Furthermore, five public social networks are used for comparative analysis.
The experimental results show that our PARW-Rank algorithm can achieve the higher precision and better stability than the existing methods with a single centrality measure.
