Abstract

Social network mining is the process of extracting, analyzing, and modeling social networks from online platforms. It has become an important tool for understanding the structure and dynamics of online communities and for predicting the spread of information, influence, and behaviors. In this article, we review the background, methods, and applications of social network mining, with a focus on the most common techniques and approaches. We also discuss some of the challenges and ethical issues related to social network mining and suggest directions for future research.
