Kinship Determination in Mobile Social Networks

摘要

With the progress of mobile communication technology, mobile social networks that can reflect the real situation of human social activities in real life have gradually formed. An even challenging problem whether it is possible to determine the kinship merely based on mobile social networks is raised during research on mobile social networks. This enlightens us the following research. First, we take the mobile phone contacts, telephone network and SMS network as the object of social network research. Second, we tackle the challenge of kinship mining using novel feature extraction and selection methods. Third, after selecting the most discriminative data features, we use a variety of algorithms to compare the study of the kinship in this paper. Finally, we demonstrate a classification accuracy of 81.04% on a test set using XGBoost.
