Abstract

Today, many people spend a lot of time online. Their social interactions captured in online social networks are an important part of the overall personal social profile, in addition to interactions taking place offline. This paper investigates whether relations captured by online social networks can be used as a proxy for the relations in offline social networks, such as networks of human face-to-face (F2F) proximity and coauthorship networks. Particularly, the paper focuses on interactions of computer scientists in online settings (homepages, social networks profiles and connections) and offline settings (scientific collaboration, face-to-face communications during the conferences). We focus on quantitative studies and investigate the structural similarities and correlations of the induced networks; in addition, we analyze implications between networks. Finally, we provide a qualitative user analysis to find characteristics of good and bad proxies.

网络内容能很好地代表现实生活中的互动吗?一个考虑计算机科学家在线和离线交互的案例研究

今天，许多人花很多时间在网上。除了发生在线下的互动之外，他们在在线社交网络上的社交互动是整个个人社交档案的重要组成部分。本文研究了在线社交网络捕获的关系是否可以用作离线社交网络(如人类面对面(F2F)接近网络和合著网络)中关系的代理。本文特别关注计算机科学家在在线环境(主页、社交网络档案和连接)和离线环境(科学合作、会议期间的面对面交流)中的互动。我们着重于定量研究，探讨了诱导网络的结构相似性和相关性;此外，我们还分析了网络之间的含义。最后，我们提供了一个定性的用户分析，以找到好的和坏的代理的特征。
