Abstract— Online Social network is growing to large extent to share information between the different diversity people around the world. The main objective of the proposed system to identify the community in the multidimensional data such as users , Tags , stories , locations ,employment details ,photos and comments . We propose a data mining technique to detect the frequently interacting users based on the common subjects and grouping them in single community. The main incorporation of the work is to identify a seed-based community in a multi-dimensional network by evaluating the affinity between two items in the same type of entity (same dimension) or different types of entities (different dimensions) from the network. Our idea is to calculate the probabilities of visiting each item in each dimension, and compare their values to generate communities from a set of seed items and explore the feature evolution from the seed item in the same dimension or different dimension. We also propose the friend suggestion system and information suggestions system based on the data relevancy for the items in the different dimensions using seed of the data selection. In order to evaluate a high quality of generated communities by the proposed algorithm, we develop and study a local modularity measure of a community in a multi-dimensional network. Experimental results prove that proposed system outperforms the state of approach in terms of precision and recall. Key words: Web Communities, Social Network Analysis (SNA), Community profiling I. INTRODUCTION Social networking sites are experiencing tremendous adoption and growth. The Internet and online social networks, in particular, are a part of most people’s lives. EMarketer.com reports that in 2011, nearly 150 million US Internet users will interface with at least one social networking site per month. EMarketer.com also reports that in 2011, 90 percent of Internet users ages 18-24 and 82 percent of Internet users ages 25-34 will interact with at least one social networking site per month. This trend is increasing for all age groups. As the young population ages, they will continue to leverage social media in their daily lives. In addition, new generations will come to adopt the Internet and online social networks. These technologies have become and will continue to be a vital component of our social fabric, which we depend on to communicate, interact, and socialize. Not only are there a tremendous amount of users online, there is also a tremendous amount of user profile data and content online. For example, on Facebook, there are over 30 billion pieces of content shared each month. New content is being added every day; an average Facebook user generates over 90 pieces of content each month. This large amount of content coupled with the significant number of users online makes maintaining
appropriate levels of privacy very challenging. There have been numerous studies concerning privacy in the online world [5], [4], [5]. A number of conclusions can be drawn from these studies. First, there are varying levels of privacy controls, depending on the online site. For example, some sites make available user profile data to the Internet with no ability to restrict access. While other sites limit user profile viewing to just trusted friends. Other studies introduce the notion of the privacy paradox, the relationship between individual privacy intentions to disclose their personal information and their actual behaviour [8]. Individuals voice concerns over the lack of adequate controls around their privacy information while freely providing their personal data. Other research concludes that individuals lack appropriate information to make informed privacy decisions [3]. Moreover, when there is adequate information, shortterm benefits are often opted over long-term privacy. However, contrary to common belief, people are concerned about privacy [2], [13]. But managing ones privacy can be challenging. This can be attributed to many things, for example, the lack of privacy controls available to the user, the complexity of using the controls [10], and the burden associated with managing these controls for large sets of users. II. PRINCIPLE OF SOCIAL NETWORKING A. Social Network Analysis Social Network Analysis (SNA) is a commonly used method to study social interactions of online groups at an individual level as well as group level. SNA seeks to represent datasets in a form of social networks. In a social network, there are nodes which represent group members, and edges (often referred to as ties) that connect people by means of various types of relations. The strength of the relations is usually conveyed via a weight assigned to each tie. A network representation of social interactions provides researchers with an effective mechanism for studying collaborative processes in online communities, such as shared knowledge construction, information sharing and exchange, influence, support. Because the case examined in this dissertation is online learning communities, the three examples below demonstrate how SNA can be used to study social interactions in online classes. We leverage Face book as the running example in our discussion since it is currently the most popular and representative social network provider. In the meantime, we reiterate that our discussion could be easily extended to other existing social network platforms. To provide meaningful and attractive services, these social applications consume user profile attributes, such as name, birthday, activities, interests, and so on. To make matters more complicated, social applications on current OSN platforms can also consume the profile attributes of a user’s friends.
