SocNetV as "intelligence" source for Dolphin-site operators

SourceForge Robot — Sun, 10 Mar 2019 21:07:08 -0000

Can use SocNetV to analyze a virtual "social network" ? Yes you can. For instance, you could analyze social interactions (i.e. mentions) between "friends" in that virtual network. Apparently, SocNetV cannot grab their link/connections data on its own (forget the built-in web crawler; it cannot get and parse private data), but if you can extract the data for yourself and transform them into a proper GraphML format, then SocNetV will happily load and visualize the virtual social network so that you can analyze its properties. This seems to be the case with Dolphin social network software, an open source platform for social networks.

SocNetV v1.9 released

Dimitris Kalamaras — Tue, 23 Jun 2015 16:19:40 -0000

The Social Network Visualizer project has just released version 1.9, which fixes many important bugs and brings a faster matrix inverse routine.

The matrix inverse algorithm is now using LU decomposition which greatly improves the computation speed. This improvement also affects Information Centrality algorithm which runs now in 1/10 of the time needed in earlier SocNetV versions.

Also, version 1.9 brings a revamped PageRank Prestige algorithm. Up to 1.8 the PageRank algorithm was using the original Page&Brin formula which lead to different results. From this version, SocNetV uses the correct formula and computes comparable results. Also, the initial PR score of each node is now 1/N.

Bugs closed:
#1463069 wrong average distance when there are isolates
#1365037 certain sparse matrices crash socnetv on invertMatrix method
#1365582 centralityInformation() is slow when network N>100
#1463095 edge filter works but the user cannot undo
#1464422 wrong pagerank results
#1464430 socnetv refuses to read pajek files not starting with *Network
#1465774 edges do not always follow relations
#1463082 edge color change is not taking place
#1464418 socnetv crashes on pagerank computation on isolated nodes

SocNetV v1.8 released

Dimitris Kalamaras — Fri, 05 Jun 2015 15:11:08 -0000

The Social Network Visualizer project released version 1.8 with the following new features:
- New clique census routine to compute maximal cliques with up to 4 vertices.
- New Scale-free random generation methods. Improved Erdos-Renyi generation to include G(n,M) model.
- New improved dialogs for easy random network generation (Scale-free, Erdos-Renyi, and Small-World)
