Algorithms for Mining Distance-Based Outliers in Large Datasets

by Edwin M. Knorr, Raymond T. Ng , 1998
"... This paper deals with finding outliers (exceptions) in large, multidimensional datasets. The identification of outliers can lead to the discovery of truly unexpected knowledge in areas such as electronic commerce, credit card fraud, and even the analysis of performance statistics of professional ath ..."

An experimental study of search in global social networks

by Peter Sheridan Dodds , Roby Muhamad , Duncan J Watts - Science , 2003
"... We report on a global social-search experiment in which more than 60,000 e-mail users attempted to reach one of 18 target persons in 13 countries by forwarding messages to acquaintances. We find that successful social search is conducted primarily through intermediate to weak strength ties, does no ..."
