two use cases Re: Agenda for Telcon Tuesday Nov 5, 12 Noon Eastern

Dear All,

Here are two use cases & their brief descriptions.

- Use case 1: Predict an individual's behavior based on behaviors of that individual's local community

   In a society, an individual's behavior can be heavily influenced by that individual's close friends.
   Examples of such behaviors include but not limited to alcohol consumption, health related habits,
   like/dislike products, and adopting/rejecting services. In a telecommunication domain,
   service providers pay a lot of attention to spotting and keeping potential churners. One
   way to identify potential churners is to run graph analytics against the underlying social network of the
   service users, identify communities, and rank existing users based on the attrition rate
   of their close friends in a community.

- User case 2: Identify influencers/experts/expertise

   Finding the right people is oftentimes a key to an efficient resolution of real-world problems, technical and business alike.
   It is very useful to be able to identify accurately subject matter experts in a social media site (e.g. blogs, discussions,
   forums, etc). One approach is to rely on end users' feedback and ranking. This is effective but obviously a manual process.
   An automatic approach is to run graph analytics against the underlying social graph formed by the users and their interactions,
   and identify influencers by calculating metrics like page ranking, centrality, etc.

Thanks,

Zhe
