Jon Kleinberg. Signed Networks and User Evaluation.

Abstract:  Users express opinions about each other in on-line domains for a wide variety of reasons; when these
opinions are viewed in aggregate, a pattern of positive and negative relationships emerges that can be analyzed as a
network with signs on its links. We discuss a set of models for how positive and negative relationships interact
within such networks, based on competing theories for how these signed links should be interpreted. We then 
describe some analysis of positive and negative relationships in data from on-line social networks, and we use this
data to evaluate and extend the underlying theories.

The talk draws on joint work with Cristian Danescu-Niculescu-Mizil, Dan Huttenlocher, Bobby Kleinberg,
Gueorgi Kossinets, Lillian Lee, Jure Leskovec, Seth Marvel, and Steve Strogatz.
