DOI: 10.1109/tkde.2017.2651825
Abstract: Recent studies show that individuals in a social network can be divided into different groups of densely connected communities, and these individuals who bridge different communities, referred to as structural hole spanners, have great potential… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/e24070894
Abstract: Community detection and structural hole spanner (the node bridging different communities) identification, revealing the mesoscopic and microscopic structural properties of complex networks, have drawn much attention in recent years. As the determinant of mesoscopic structure,… read more here.

DOI: 10.53106/160792642021092205007
Abstract: Several research works had been carried out to discover suitable algorithms to quantify node centralities. Among the many existing centrality metrics, only few consider centrality at the sub-graph level or deal with structural hole capabilities of pivot nodes. Research… read more here.
