Decoding Information Propagation in Social Networks
Delve into the intricacies of information propagation in social networks with a focus on challenges like collecting and decomposing graphs to give them physical meaning. Explore high-level concepts like constraint propagation and identifying highways within networks. Understand the macro structure components and the physical significance behind decomposing graphs in a directed acyclic graph system with millions of nodes. Uncover the complexities of the Twitter social graph, including the relationships and interactions between nodes. Join the exploration into the physical implications of decomposing large-scale networks for enhanced understanding.

What is the physical meaning of decomposition?
1% accounts <0.01% edges <0.01% tweets
98% of the tweets 98% of the edges 50% of the accounts
1,5% of the tweets 5,3% of the accounts 0% outgoing edges
21,4% of the accounts 0,25% of the tweets
21,6% of the accounts 99% no edge 80% no tweet
