How do biological networks differ from social networks? (an experimental study)

Abstract: In this paper we outline important differences between (1) protein interaction networks and (2) social and other complex networks, in terms of fine-grained network community profiles. While these families of networks present some general similarities, they also have some stark differences in the way the communities are formed. Namely, we find that the sizes of the best communities in such biological networks are an order of magnitude smaller than in social and other complex networks. We furthermore find that t… Show more

“…Usually, we assign a vertex to each entity, and there is an edge between two entities if they are related or affect each other in some way. Analyzing graph structure has found applications in several important real-world problems such as targeted advertising [24], fraud detection [18], missing link prediction [16], locating functional modules of interacting proteins [14], etc.…”

“…It is well-known that networks across different domains exhibit a diverse set of properties. For example, biological networks such as protein interaction networks differ significantly from social networks in community structure and centrality measures [7]. Therefore, it is necessary to test dynamic link prediction methods in various domains outside of social networks.…”

“…vertex) represents an individual or entity, and each edge represents the corresponding connection or relation. Capturing graph structure of data is useful in many applications, such as targeted advertising [41,43], knowledge distillation [45,46], data annotation [47][48][49], and protein analysis [17,39]. Each node in a graph often exhibits a crucial property -the importance or utility of a node depends on the number of connections between it and other nodes.…”
