However, most methods in social network analysis, including community detection, are focused on performing on static networks. Therefore, methods of studying community evolution still have room for improvement. In this article, we investigated one of the methods introduced in independent community detection and matching approach. It is an approach for tracking dynamic community evolution, but it has the advantage of using methods that have been studied in detail for static networks. Previous studies have examined and compared some of the centralities that can be used in this method. In this study, we examined its performance by using other centralities called betweenness centrality and closeness centrality, and compared them with the usage of social position. Our analysis was performed on a subgraph of the word co-occurrence network, which is a type of bibliometric network, and the results of the algorithm were evaluated by experts. The results show that betweenness centrality represents more transparent and useful events and using it in community evolution discovery is recommended for small networks.","PeriodicalId":355187,"journal":{"name":"2022 8th International Conference on Web Research (ICWR)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125718077","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The massive amounts of crime-related data, which is being published and grows with each passing day, in the form of online news reports have prompted researchers to pursue studies in the field of violence and criminal investigations. In this work, we developed a semantic approach to extract spatiotemporal and crime-related information from news reports to detect crime spatial distribution. The proposed method, in particular, aims to extract geographical and temporal information to detect regions with a high number of criminal cases, as well as to represent semantic knowledge of criminal incidents by annotating spatiotemporal information from their web domains. This approach incorporates the use of Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques and a crime domain ontology into the information extraction process to automatically retrieve spatial, temporal, and other relevant information about criminal behavior from news reports. Our proposal consists of a comprehensive solution built on a fully functional architecture that has been tested in a use case scenario for the crime news reported in London, United Kingdom.","PeriodicalId":355187,"journal":{"name":"2022 8th International Conference on Web Research (ICWR)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130948685","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Event detection is one of the important topics in the analysis of social networks, especially Twitter. In this paper, we propose an online graph-based approach, called TedGram, for event detection in Twitter using word embedding techniques and graph partitioning algorithms. In the TedGram model, for each incoming tweet, candidate tweets are gathered from preceding tweets using co-occurrence in entities keywords, and correspondingly the similarity between tweets are computed using the Word Mover’s Distance (WMD) algorithm and pretrained word2vec model. In this regard, the TTI (Tweet Tweet Interaction) graph is computed and updated using an online greedy community detection method based on the Barabási-Albert generative model. Furthermore, we utilize Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) and WMD to combine duplicate communities for detecting and merging duplicate events. Our proposed method is applied to a sample of the Event2012 dataset and is evaluated regarding Precision, Recall, and Fscore. The experimental results show that TedGram performs well against the existing methods.","PeriodicalId":355187,"journal":{"name":"2022 8th International Conference on Web Research (ICWR)","volume":"78 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122419987","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The wide-spreading popularity of social media has attracted researchers’ attention on community detection. Communities are defined as clusters of nodes or vertices that have stronger relationships between entities inside a cluster than relationships between clusters. Community detection plays an important role in discovering the underlying structures of social networks and it displays the effects of links’ structures on people and the relationship between them. Usually, clustering algorithms are utilized to identify the communities. In this paper, we propose a new clustering algorithm for community detection that considers the depth of relationships between individuals in the community identification process. Results on two popular datasets indicate that considering the depth of relationships improves the accuracy of the clustering methods. From the compared results, the proposed algorithm outperformed the six state-of-the-art algorithms.","PeriodicalId":355187,"journal":{"name":"2022 8th International Conference on Web Research (ICWR)","volume":"365 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115901800","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Event detection in these networks including Twitter is one of the most momentous subjects in the field of natural language processing and text mining. In this paper, we investigated how to link popular social media topics and news stories using transformer models and neural networks. Accordingly, this study consists of two parts: First, detecting popular topics and, second, linking them to the news. Event detection techniques have been applied to detect popular topics, while an event detection method comprises text preprocessing, text embedding using Sentence Transformer, dimension reduction using the UMAP algorithm, and grouping them using the HDBSCAN algorithm. To examine relevance or non-relevance between the news and topics, a single-layer perceptron neural network is applied, in which the output of the model indicates relevance or nonrelevance. We have implemented the mentioned parts and have investigated them on a small sampling of two known datasets. The evaluation outcomes reveal that the first part leads to an average improvement of 8% compared to the entity-based methods. Moreover, the results of the second part demonstrate that the used neural network in this study has a better performance comparing several other methods.","PeriodicalId":355187,"journal":{"name":"2022 8th International Conference on Web Research (ICWR)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131723974","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The unique characteristics of blockchain technology, such as decentralized, peer-to-peer, and invariable distributed ledger qualities, make it appealing to researchers, academics, and industry. The consensus protocol is a fundamental part of blockchain technology. PoW (Proof of Work) or fixed-validator consensus protocols comprise most of the existing consensus mechanisms. However, the tremendous computational effort required for PoW leads to excessive energy and computing resource usage. On the other hand, Fixed-validator protocols validate new blocks by a fixed, static set of validators, allowing attackers to execute multiple attacks against these validators. In this article, we proposed a novel consensus protocol base on the Proof of Activity protocol and game theory.
