The large-scale online management systems (e.g. Moodle), online web forums (e.g. Piazza), and online homework systems (e.g. WebAssign) have been widely used in the blended courses recently. Instructors can use these systems to deliver class content and materials. Students can communicate with the classmates, share the course materials, and discuss the course questions via the online forums. With the increased use of the online systems, a large amount of students interaction data has been collected. This data can be used to analyze students learning behaviors and predict students learning outcomes. In this work, we collected students interaction data in three different blended courses. We represented the data as directed graphs and investigated the correlation between the social graph properties and students final grades. Our results showed that in all these classes, students who asked more answers and received more feedbacks on the forum tend to obtain higher grades. The significance of this work is that we can use the results to encourage students to participate more in forums to learn the class materials better; we can also build a predictive model based on the social metrics to show us low performing students early in the semester.

Differential privacy is effective in sharing information and preserving privacy with a strong guarantee. As social network analysis has been extensively adopted in many applications, it opens a new arena for the application of differential privacy. I
n this article, we provide a comprehensive survey connecting the basic principles of differential privacy and applications in social network analysis. We present a concise review of the foundations of differential privacy and the major variants and discuss how differential privacy is applied to social network analysis, including privacy attacks in social networks, types of differential privacy in social network analysis, and a series of popular tasks, such as degree distribution analysis, subgraph counting and edge weights. We also discuss a series of challenges for future studies.
A patient-centric approach to healthcare leads to an informal social network among medical professionals. This chapter presents a research framework to: identify the collaboration structure among physicians that is effective and efficient for patient
s, discover effective structural attributes of a collaboration network that evolves during the course of providing care, and explore the impact of socio-demographic characteristics of healthcare professionals, patients, and hospitals on collaboration structures, from the point of view of measurable outcomes such as cost and quality of care. The framework uses illustrative examples drawn from a data set of patients undergoing hip replacement surgery.
Although social neuroscience is concerned with understanding how the brain interacts with its social environment, prevailing research in the field has primarily considered the human brain in isolation, deprived of its rich social context. Emerging wo
rk in social neuroscience that leverages tools from network analysis has begun to pursue this issue, advancing knowledge of how the human brain influences and is influenced by the structures of its social environment. In this paper, we provide an overview of key theory and methods in network analysis (especially for social systems) as an introduction for social neuroscientists who are interested in relating individual cognition to the structures of an individuals social environments. We also highlight some exciting new work as examples of how to productively use these tools to investigate questions of relevance to social neuroscientists. We include tutorials to help with practical implementation of the concepts that we discuss. We conclude by highlighting a broad range of exciting research opportunities for social neuroscientists who are interested in using network analysis to study social systems.
Parler is as an alternative social network promoting itself as a service that allows to speak freely and express yourself openly, without fear of being deplatformed for your views. Because of this promise, the platform become popular among users who
were suspended on mainstream social networks for violating their terms of service, as well as those fearing censorship. In particular, the service was endorsed by several conservative public figures, encouraging people to migrate from traditional social networks. After the storming of the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, Parler has been progressively deplatformed, as its app was removed from Apple/Google Play stores and the website taken down by the hosting provider. This paper presents a dataset of 183M Parler posts made by 4M users between August 2018 and January 2021, as well as metadata from 13.25M user profiles. We also present a basic characterization of the dataset, which shows that the platform has witnessed large influxes of new users after being endorsed by popular figures, as well as a reaction to the 2020 US Presidential Election. We also show that discussion on the platform is dominated by conservative topics, President Trump, as well as conspiracy theories like QAnon.
A large amount of content is generated everyday in social media. One of the main goals of content creators is to spread their information to a large audience. There are many factors that affect information spread, such as posting time, location, type
of information, number of social connections, etc. In this paper, we look at the problem of finding the best posting time(s) to get high content visibility. The posting time is derived taking other factors into account, such as location, type of information, etc. In this paper, we do our analysis over Facebook pages. We propose six posting schedules that can be used for individual pages or group of pages with similar audience reaction profile. We perform our experiment on a Facebook pages dataset containing 0.3 million posts, 10 million audience reactions. Our best posting schedule can lead to seven times more number of audience reactions compared to the average number of audience reactions that users would get without following any optimized posting schedule. We also present some interesting audience reaction patterns that we obtained through daily, weekly and monthly audience reaction analysis.
