.... that occur in biology, such as neural networks [6] food webs [7,8] and metabolic networks [9,10] In addition, studies have been made of distribution networks such as airline timetables [11] or blood vessels [12,13] river networks [14] and even networks of semantic linkage between words [15]. There is however one area in which networks have been studied longer than any of these; social networks networks of connections between people have been studied in the sociology literature at least since the 1940s, and possibly earlier, and it is social networks which are the primary topic ....

....exploits the representation of a lexicon (the set of all words in a given corpus) as a graph, where the nodes are indexed by words and where cooccurrence is used to establish links between nodes. Such a representation has been studied recently giving rise to a number of topological properties [4]. We consider the idea that higher order correlations between terms can a ect their semantic relations as a di usion process on such a graph. Although there can be exponentially many paths connecting two given nodes in the graph, the use of di usion kernels [7] enables us to obtain the level of ....
....derived from viewing the terms and documents as vertices of a weighted graph. 4 Semantic Similarity as a Di usion Process Graph like structures within data occur frequently in many diverse settings. In the case of language, the topological structure of a lexicon graph has recently been analyzed [4]. Such a graph has nodes indexed by all the terms in the corpus, and the edges are given by the co occurrence between terms in documents of the corpus. Although terms that are connected are likely to have related meaning, terms with a higher degree of separation would not be considered as being ....
