Epinions Social Network (Signed) Analyzed
A Epinions.com (consumer review platform) dataset of 131,828 users and 841,372 directed signed edges (717,667 trust, 123,705 distrust), collected by Richardson et al. via Epinions.com crawl, distributed by SNAP. Each record contains directed signed edges between users: +1 indicates explicit trust, -1 indicates explicit distrust, capturing both positive and negative social relationships. one of the largest publicly available signed social networks, with explicit user-declared trust and distrust labels rather than inferred sentiment — making it ideal for signed graph algorithm benchmarking. Suitable for signed network analysis, trust propagation, link sign prediction, community detection in signed graphs, and balance theory validation.
