Abstract

Diffusion networks in online media are not static: the links over which information travels appear, disappear and change strength over time. This work infers the dynamic structure of such networks from observed propagation, rather than assuming a single fixed graph behind all cascades.

In short

Most network inference methods assume one graph generated every cascade. Online media do not work that way: the edges that carry information change over weeks and months.

This paper infers that changing structure from the propagation data itself.
