Abstract EN
Link prediction tries to infer the likelihood of the existence of a link between two nodes in a network.
It has important theoretical and practical value.
To date, many link prediction algorithms have been proposed.
However, most of these studies assumed that links of network are undirected.
In this paper, we focus on link prediction in directed networks.
We provide an efficient and effective link prediction method, which consists of three steps as follows: (1) we locate the similar nodes of a target node; (2) we identify candidates that the similar nodes link to; and (3) we rank candidates using weighing schemes.
We conduct experiments to evaluate the accuracy of our proposed method using real microblog data.
The experimental results show that the proposed method is promising.
