A Comprehensive Survey on Learning Based Methods for Link Prediction Problem

Abstract

The development of internet technology is continuously increasing day by day. Social network is also the internet based technology, running online to deliver more services and strengthen communities. The availability of large amount of data encouraged the various field of study like data science, data mining and analysis, neural network etc. Currently, in real scenario the two giants Facebook and Google have the tremendous amount of data. The link prediction problem is a key issue with social network analysis. The Link prediction issue is to predicting new link or future link between two nodes in a network. This paper talked about the several method used to address the issue of link prediction based on learning approach mainly it focus on supervised, unsupervised and semi supervised learning based methods.
