Abstract

Extracting connectivity information in massive social networks is important for many applications.  We present a method to extract the network topology from a small sample of geodesics distances without the need for exhaustive measurements. Tolerating missing data is also necessary when certain nodes participate in message passing among the nodes, but are not accessible for direct measurements. The concept of construction set of a graph is defined, together with the associated link dimension,  that specifies the minimum set of landmarks for loss-less reconstruction of a network.  An anchor-based sampling approach is proposed and compared with random sampling for a wide range of networks. We demonstrate, that many real-world  networks have hop-distance matrices that are low-rank, thus  allowing the formulation of the problem as a low-rank matrix completion.
