Political Communities

The article is dedicated to the development of the political communities in social networks analysis methods. Main stages of network approach in the political science is described in the research. Researchers review the most significant methods and techniques in the political online communities studies for the last decade. The article shows the contemporary Russian scientists contribution in the development of online communities learning techniques. Networks and social network analysis methods and techniques become universal scientific approaches for several scientific fields. Boundary-transcending trends were critical means of science integration. Researchers present the results of experiment in which evaluate the possibilities of study unobserved political groups using latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) model. The brief LDA foundation history and possible modifications for social topic modeling based on social networks data are discribed in the review. Using sample from one feed aggregator telegram channel in period of 2020 autumn, the authors display the most valuable topics in the Russian segment of political communication. Also it provides communities ideological preferences. Modified qualitative sociological methods can be used in online political communities discursive features research without any specific computer science techniques. Since about 70% of the Internet data are generated in the social networks, velocity and volume data necessitate new data mining techniques, databases capacity and computation processes. In other words, it provides a big data approach in social network analysis.

The purpose of the research presented in this paper is the investigation of the gender gap in published computing books. The book titles from the DBLP computer science bibliography were the basis for this investigation. The conducted research involves co-authorship network exploration using social network analysis methods, as well as content learning by keyword extraction and ranking from book titles. The findings show that female authors tend to publish fewer books in computing than their male colleagues, and there is a huge gap of women regarding the collaboration. There are just two women names within the 50 author names with the highest social network top metrics, indicating collaboration. Regarding the extracted keywords, though there are differences, results do not show some huge divergences when it comes to the used language for computing titles.

Graphs are mathematical formalisms that represent social networks very well. Analysis methods using graph theory have started to develop substantially along with the advancement of mathematics and computer sciences in recent years, with contributions from several disciplines including social network analysis. Learning how to use graphs to represent social networks is important not only for employing theoretical insights of this advanced field in social research, but also for the practical purposes of utilizing its mature and abundant tools. This chapter explores structural analysis with graphs.
