SUMMARY:Math Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:
 Student GAUSS Seminar\n

 Rachel Domagalski from 
 Michigan State University will be speaking.\n
 \n
 The 
 title of the topic is "Inferring relationships 
 through graph theory and social network 
 analysis."\n
 \n
 This is a virtual meeting.\n

 Bipartite graphs can 
 be used to capture social networks through 
 event participation. By letting one set of vertices 
 be participants and the other set be events, 
 each edge represents an individual participating 
 in an event. These bipartite graphs 
 can be projected into a weighted graph by multiplying 
 the bipartite adjacency matrix by 
 its transpose. In the projection, an edge between 
 two individuals represents the number of 
 times they participated in the same event. We 
 can now ask, how many times do two people have 
 to participate in events together before 
 we can assume they have some sort of relationship? 
 We will discuss ways to decide if an edge 
 weight is strong enough and deduce friendship 
 ties.\n\n
