Abstract

Abstract: Literature have focused on studying the apparent and latent interactions within social graphs as an n‐ary operation, which yields binary outputs comprising positives (friends, likes, etc.) and negatives (foes, dislikes, etc.). Inasmuch as interactions constitute the bedrock of any given social network (SN) structure; there exist scenarios where an interaction, which was once considered a positive, transmutes into a negative as a result of one or more indicators which have affected the interaction quality. At present, this transmutation has to be manually executed by the affected actors in the SN. These manual transmutations can be quite inefficient, ineffective, and a mishap might have been incurred by the constituent actors and the SN structure prior to a resolution. Our problem statement aims at automatically flagging positive ties that should be considered for breakups or rifts (negative‐tie state), as they tend to pose potential threats to actors and the SN. Therefore, we have proposed ClasReg: a unique framework capable of breakup and link predictions.
