ABSTRACT
In social networks, the relationship between individuals is defined by many forms of interaction. Here, our goal is to measure the strength of the relationship between GitHub users by considering social and technical features. Thus, we model GitHub's heterogeneous collaboration network with different types of interaction and propose new metrics to the strength of relationships. The results show the new metrics are not correlated, bringing new information to the table. Finally, these metrics may become important tools to determine users' influence and popularity.

Predicting tie strength with social media
CHI '09: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsSocial media treats all users the same: trusted friend or total stranger, with little or nothing in between. In reality, relationships fall everywhere along this spectrum, a topic social science has investigated for decades under the theme of tie ...
The Relationship between Facebook Use and Well-Being depends on Communication Type and Tie Strength
An extensive literature shows that social relationships influence psychological well-being, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. We test predictions about online interactions and well-being made by theories of belongingness, relationship ...
Predicting Tie Strength with the Facebook API
PCI '14: Proceedings of the 18th Panhellenic Conference on InformaticsThis paper presents a user study that employed a Facebook application to calculate the strength of Facebook users' friendships. Specifically, 18 variables were collected via the Facebook API for 1728 friendships and used to predict tie strength reported ...
