Large-scale interaction networks of human communication are often modeled as complex graph structures, obscuring temporal patterns within individual conversations. To facilitate the understanding of such conversational dynamics, episodes with low or high communication activity as well as breaks in communication need to be detected to enable the identification of temporal interaction patterns. Traditional episode detection approaches are highly dependent on the choice of parameters, such as window-size or binning-resolution. In this paper, we present a novel technique for the identification of relevant episodes in bi-directional interaction sequences from abstract communication networks. We model communication as a continuous density function, allowing for a more robust segmentation into individual episodes and estimation of communication volume. Additionally, we define a tailored feature set to characterize conversational dynamics and enable a user-steered classification of communication behavior. We apply our technique to a real-world corpus of email data from a large European research institution. The results show that our technique allows users to effectively define, identify, and analyze relevant communication episodes.
A common network analysis task is comparison of two networks to identify unique characteristics in one network with respect to the other. For example, when comparing protein interaction networks derived from normal and cancer tissues, one essential t
Real-time tweets can provide useful information on evolving events and situations. Geotagged tweets are especially useful, as they indicate the location of origin and provide geographic context. However, only a small portion of tweets are geotagged,
Communication consists of both meta-information as well as content. Currently, the automated analysis of such data often focuses either on the network aspects via social network analysis or on the content, utilizing methods from text-mining. However,
Despite being a critical communication skill, grasping humor is challenging -- a successful use of humor requires a mixture of both engaging content build-up and an appropriate vocal delivery (e.g., pause). Prior studies on computational humor emphas
Concept drift is a phenomenon in which the distribution of a data stream changes over time in unforeseen ways, causing prediction models built on historical data to become inaccurate. While a variety of automated methods have been developed to identi
