One of the most important aspects of social network analysis is community detection, which is used to categorize related individuals in a social network into groups or communities. The approach is quite similar to graph partitioning, and in fact, most detection algorithms rely on concepts from graph theory and sociology. The aim of this chapter is to aid a novice in the field of community detection by providing a wider perspective on some of the different detection algorithms available, including the more recent developments in this field. Five popular algorithms have been studied and explained, and a recent novel approach that was proposed by the authors has also been included. The chapter concludes by highlighting areas suitable for further research, specifically targeting overlapping community detection algorithms.

The enormous growth and dynamic nature of online social networks have emerged to new research directions that examine the social network analysis mechanisms. In this chapter, the authors have explored a novel technique of recommendation for social media and used well known social network analysis (SNA) mechanisms-link prediction. The initial impetus of this chapter is to provide general description, formal definition of the problem, its applications, state-of-art of various link prediction approaches in social media networks. Further, an experimental evaluation has been made to inspect the role of link prediction in real environment by employing basic common neighbor link prediction approach on IMDb data. To improve performance, weighted common neighbor link prediction (WCNLP) approach has been proposed. This exploits the prediction features to predict new links among users of IMDb. The evaluation shows how the inclusion of weight among the nodes offers high link prediction performance and opens further research directions.

Link prediction and network alignment are two important problems in social network analysis and other network related applications. Considerable efforts have been devoted to these two problems while often in an independent way to each other. In this paper we argue that these two tasks are relevant and present a joint link prediction and network alignment framework, whereby a novel cross-graph node embedding technique is devised to allow for information propagation. Our approach can either work with a few initial vertex correspondence as seeds, or from scratch. By extensive experiments on public benchmark, we show that link prediction and network alignment can benefit to each other especially for improving the recall for both tasks.

Soccer is the most popular sport in the world and due its popularity, soccer moves billions of euros over the years, in most diverse forms, such as marketing, merchandising, TV quotas and players transfers. As example, in the 2016/2017 season, only England has moved about 1.3 billion of euros only in players transfers. In this work, it is performed a study of the transfer market of player. To do so, players transfer data were gathered from the website Transfermarkt and were modeled as a graph. In order to perform this study, different Complex Networks techniques were applied, such as Overlap Community Detection and Property Analysis. Through our results we could evaluate the soccer players market, and see a pattern that every market has at least one farm country, which has a main function of selling athletes, or a buyer country, which most of its transactions is buying players.
