Purpose: to find the most potential stars in
social networks to be promoted How to measure the importance
incoming edge and outgoing edge most potential stars = minimum promotion cost How to find the most potential stars
Skyline query promote a non-skyline member into skyline by
adding new edges which are directly connected to it it will take some costs to add a new edge

member promotion in SNs = to identify the
most appropriate non-skyline member(s) which can be promoted to be skyline member(s) by adding edges at minimum cost
To the best of our knowledge, our paper is the first one that raises the member promotion problem in SNs.

studies the query for the points that can be changed to be a
skyline point at the minimum cost The costs are measured by L1 distance of the skyline vectors
starting from the original position and pointing to a skyline position. The skyline minimum vector thus indicates minimum L1 distance.
Those non-skyline points which can be changed to be skyline points by the skyline minimum vectors are the solutions to the problem.
Drawbacks the virtual points which are needed for the computation of the
skyline vectors must be provided in advance the skip region for optimization is not good enough no theoretical analysis such as time complexity analysis and
correctness proof has been provided

Authoritativeness
Given a node v in an SN G(V, E, W), the authoritativeness of v is denoted as the indegree of v, namely din(v)
Shows how much attention v can get Hubness
Given a node v in an SN G(V, E, W), the hubness of v is denoted as the outdegree of v, namely dout(v)
Shows how the importance of v as a hub

Candidate Set
Given an SN G(V, E, W), let the skyline member set be SG, when SG ≠ V , the set V-SG, denoted as C*, is the candidate set of G. We say each node c ∈ V-SG is a candidate for member promotion
Dominator Set Given a member v in an SN G(V, E, W), the
dominator set of v, marked as δ(v), is defined as a set of nodes D: {n | n dominates v, n ∈ V}.
Candidate Set and Dominator Set

Given an SN G(V, E, W), ∀c ∈ C*, p ⊆ V × V, a
promotion plan against c, denoted as p, is defined as such an edge combination that satisfies: (1) p ⊆ {e | e = (c, ·) ∨ e = (·, c) ∧ e ≠ (c, c) ∧ e
∉ E}, (2) c ∉ SG’, where G’ = (V, E + p, W).
In more general cases, the one which only meets (1) is defined as a plan
Promotion
![Page 18: Discovering the Most Potential Stars in Social Networks](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051401/56814e79550346895dbc1543/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Given an SN G(V, E, W), the cost of any plan p,
marked as γ(p), is the sum of the weights corresponding to the edges included in p. As we mark the weight of an edge e as ϵ(e), that is,γ(p) =Σe∈p(ϵ(e)) = Σe∈p (W[e.f rom][e.to])
in which e.from and e.to represent the source node and the sink node of edge e respectively. Thereby, ∀ c ∈ C*, p ∈ Pc , the promotion cost of c is the minimum cost among all the promotion plans. We mark it as ζ (c), namely,ζ (c) = minp ∈ Pc (γ(p))
Promotion Cost

Member Promotion in SNs
Given an SN G(V, E, W), member promotion in SNs is to find such a member set R which satisfies:(1) R ⊆ C*,(2) R = {r | r = argmin(ζ(c))}

A number of “meaningless” promotions will
decrease the efficiency, so we should find a way to recognize the skippable plans for pruning
There are some related theorems and lemmas
IDP : The Index-based Dynamic Pruning
Algorithm
![Page 27: Discovering the Most Potential Stars in Social Networks](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051401/56814e79550346895dbc1543/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Given an SN G(V, E, W), if adding an edge e
connecting node vi and the candidate node c still cannot promote c into the skyline set, all the attempts of adding an edge e′ connecting the node vj and c with the same direction as e are not able to successfully promote c, where vj ∈ δ(vi)
IDP : Theorem
![Page 28: Discovering the Most Potential Stars in Social Networks](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051401/56814e79550346895dbc1543/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
28
Assume a plan p including n edges: e1, e2, …,
en cannot get its target candidate c promoted. For each edge ei connecting vi and c in p, let li
be the list containing all the non-existing edges each of which links one member ∈ δ(vi) and c with the same direction as ei (i = 1, 2,… , n). All the plans with n edges which belong to , the Cartesian product of li, can be skipped in the subsequent verification process against c
IDP : Lemma
![Page 29: Discovering the Most Potential Stars in Social Networks](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051401/56814e79550346895dbc1543/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
29
Skyline may change after applying a plan, thus
the candidate may still be dominated by other members
In the brute-force algorithm is to recalculate the skyline set based on the whole updated network
Theorem Given a plan p, let M be the set of members
relevant to the edges in p except the candidate c. If a member v neither dominates c before the promotion nor belongs to M, v will still not dominate c after p is conducted.
Final Verification

30
Just need to eliminate the possibility of any
member being a dominator of the candidate c to make sure c is successfully promoted
Two cases the members connected to any edge in the plan
may become new dominators of c because at least one of their two measures will increase after the promotion
the members in the skyline member set may still dominate c
Final Verification
