The Popularity-Homophily Index: A new way to measure Homophily in Directed Graphs

CoRR, 2021
In networks, the well-documented tendency for people with similar characteristics to form connections is known as the principle of homophily. Being able to quantify homophily into a number has a significant real-world impact, ranging from government fund-allocation to finetuning the parameters in a sociological model.

ANPGT: Towards Adaptive Node Property Extraction and Integration

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Graph transformers (GTs) with elaborate positional/structural encodings (PEs/SEs) have excelled in graph representation learning, especially in graph‐level tasks. However, their potential in large‐scale node classification remains untapped for several reasons: (i) Current PEs/SEs are insufficient in modelling large‐scale real‐world graphs ...

Quantifying opinion homophily in online social networks from a bounded confidence perspective

Communications Physics
Homophily is pervasive in online social media. While many empirical studies have relied on external sociodemographic traits to investigate it, significantly less is known about homophily at the cognitive level, that is, at the level of shared opinions or

Perplexity-Homophily Index: Homophily through Diversity in Hypergraphs

CoRR
Real-world complex systems are often better modeled as hypergraphs, where edges represent group interactions involving multiple entities. Understanding and quantifying homophily (similarity-driven association) in such networks is essential for analyzing community formation and information flow.

The Ties That Rhyme: Duality in Symbolic and Structural Networks of Grime Music

The British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Do birds of a feather really sing together? Musicians face two competing pressures in the pursuit of success: conforming to genre norms to meet audience expectations and distinguishing themselves to attract the attention of listeners. These opposing logics may shape how artists choose their collaborators.

Homophily vs the Generalized Other

The British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT When evaluating candidates, hiring agents may draw on signals of human as well as cultural capital. While these processes have been considered separately, an open question is how the two types of signals interact. As signals of social class, cultural capital signals relate to human capital as they evoke stereotypes about competence, polish ...

Relatability as a Racialised Construct in Corporate Graduate Recruitment: Revealing a Hidden Mechanism of Labour Market Exclusion for Black African Youth in South Africa

The British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In corporate graduate recruitment worldwide, candidates are often assessed not only on competence but on whether they are deemed relatable. This study theorises relatability as a racialised cultural–affective filter that covertly sustains inequality. Drawing on qualitative interviews, we identify five interlinked processes of self‐presentation,
