With the rapid development of the Internet, social networks have shown an unprecedented development trend among college students. Closer social activities among college students have led to the emergence of college students with new social characteristics. The traditional method of college students’ group classification can no longer meet the current demand. Therefore, this paper proposes a social network link prediction method-combination algorithm, which combines neighbor information and a random block. By mining the social networks of college students’ group relationships, the classification of college students’ groups can be realized. Firstly, on the basis of complex network theory, the essential relationship of college student groups under a complex network is analyzed. Secondly, a new combination algorithm is proposed by using the simplest linear combination method to combine the proximity link prediction based on neighbor information and the likelihood analysis link prediction based on a random block. Finally, the proposed combination algorithm is verified by using the social data of college students’ networks. Experimental results show that, compared with the traditional link prediction algorithm, the proposed combination algorithm can effectively dig out the group characteristics of social networks and improve the accuracy of college students’ association classification.

Social network is a topic of current research. Relations are broken and new relations are increased. This chapter will discuss the scope or predictions of new links in social networks. Here different approaches for link predictions are described. Among them friend recommendation model is latest. There are some other methods like common neighborhood method which is also analyzed here. The comparison among them to predict links in social networks is described. The significance of this research work is to find strong dense networks in future.

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.

The objective of an online social network is to amplify the stream of information among the users. This goal can be accomplished by maximizing interconnectivity among users using link prediction techniques. Existing link prediction techniques uses varied heuristics such as similarity score to predict possible connections. Link prediction can be considered a binary classification problem where probable class outcomes are presence and absence of connections. One of the challenges in classification is to decide threshold value. Since the social network is exceptionally dynamic in nature and each user possess different features, it is difficult to choose a static, common threshold which decides whether two non-connected users will form interconnectivity. This article proposes a novel technique, FIXT, that dynamically decides the threshold value for predicting the possibility of new link formation. The article evaluates the performance of FIXT with six baseline techniques. The comparative results depict that FIXT achieves accuracy up to 93% and outperforms baseline techniques.
