Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this research, we proposed a search method for efficiently discovering a specific person in a social network. In order to realize an efficient search method, we focus on a method that utilizes a random walk instead of flooding. First, we formulated the person search problem as a rendezvous problem between a searcher and a search target, and theoretically analyzed the properties of the problem when solved using a random walk. Then, we designed an agent that enables the searcher and the target to meet in a short search time using the analytically clarified properties. Furthermore, the effectiveness of the proposed person search method was clarified through simulation experiments using synthetic networks and actual social networks.
