Özet

In this paper, we explore influence maximization, one of the most widely studied problems in social network analysis. However, developing an effective algorithm for influence maximization is still a challenging task given its NP-hard nature. To tackle this issue, we propose the CSP (Combined modules for Seed Processing) algorithm, which aim to identify influential nodes. In CSP, graph modules are initially identified by a combination of criteria such as the clustering coefficient, degree, and common neighbors of nodes. Nodes with the same label are then clustered together into modules using label diffusion. Subsequently, only the most influential modules are selected using a filtering method based on their diffusion capacity. The algorithm then merges neighboring modules into distinct modules and extracts a candidate set of influential nodes using a new metric to quickly select seed sets. The number of selected nodes for the candidate set is restricted by a defined limit measure. Finally, seed nodes are chosen from the candidate set using a novel node scoring measure. We evaluated the proposed algorithm on both real-world and synthetic networks, and our experimental results indicate that the CSP algorithm outperforms other competitive algorithms in terms of solution quality and speedup on tested networks.
