A BlogCatalog (v3) dataset of 10,312 bloggers and 333,983 friendship edges, collected by Agarwal et al. / Tang & Liu via BlogCatalog crawl. Each record contains blogger-blogger friendship edges, user IDs and group memberships. The dataset is notable for its blogosphere friendship network from BlogCatalog, used for familiar stranger detection and latent social dimensions research. Intended for research into social network analysis, community detection, group membership prediction, and blogosphere structure studies.
A Flickr (photo-sharing) dataset of 80,513 users and 5,899,882 friendship edges, collected by Tang & Liu via Flickr crawl (2009). Each record contains user-user friendship edges, group memberships (195 groups), and user IDs. The dataset is notable for its classic photo-sharing social network with explicit group memberships, used as a benchmark for latent social dimensions. Intended for research into social network analysis, community detection, group membership prediction, and photo-sharing platform structure studies.
A multi-dimensional YouTube network crawled in December 2008 at Arizona State University (Tang & Liu), from the ASU Social Computing Data Repository: 15,088 active users and five weighted, undirected interaction layers with 13,628,895 edges in all. The layers are contacts (76,765), shared friends (1,940,806), shared subscriptions (5,574,249), shared subscribers (2,239,440) and shared favourite videos (3,797,635); each pair is listed once. Suitable for multi-layer network analysis and community detection.
A YouTube (friendship network) dataset of 1,138,499 users and 2,990,443 friendship edges, collected by Tang & Liu via YouTube crawl (2009). Each record contains user-user friendship edges, group memberships (47 groups), and user IDs. The dataset is notable for its classic social network dataset with explicit group memberships, used as a benchmark for latent social dimensions and collective behavior learning. Intended for research into social network analysis, community detection, group membership prediction, and relational learning in social media.
A TUAW (The Unofficial Apple Weblog) dataset of 10,485 blog posts, collected by Agarwal, Tang, Liu, and Yu via TUAW crawl (2004-2007). Each record contains blog post title, text, author, categories, publication date, inlinks, outlinks, and comment counts. The dataset is notable for its blog dataset with rich metadata, representing a closed community of Apple-focused bloggers. Intended for research into influential blogger identification, blog post analysis, text classification, and influence modeling.
