Structural Properties of Ego Networks [PDF]
, 2015 The structure of real-world social networks in large part determines the evolution of social phenomena, including opinion formation, diffusion of information and influence, and the spread of disease. Globally, network structure is characterized by features such as degree distribution, degree assortativity, and clustering coefficient.

Defining and measuring probabilistic ego networks [PDF]
Social Network Analysis and Mining, 2020 AbstractAnalyzing ego networks to investigate local properties and behaviors of individuals is a fundamental task in social network research. In this paper we show that there is not a unique way of defining ego networks when the existence of edges is uncertain, since there are two different ways of defining the neighborhood of a node in such network ...

Beyond Weisfeiler–Lehman with Local Ego-Network Encodings
Machine Learning and Knowledge Extraction, 2023 Identifying similar network structures is key to capturing graph isomorphisms and learning representations that exploit structural information encoded in graph data. This work shows that ego networks can produce a structural encoding scheme for arbitrary
