We formalize this problem as an optimiza- tion programming problem. Taking the co-author network as a case study, we define three objective functions and pro- pose two methods to combine these objective functions. A genetic algorithm based method is further presented to solve this problem. Experimental results show that the proposed solution can effectively find the staring people from social networks. date: 2009-04 pagerange: 1219-1219 event_title: 18th International World Wide Web Conference event_location: Madrid, Spain event_dates: April 20th-24th, 2009 event_type: conference refereed: TRUE citation: Chen, Dewei and Tang, Jie and Li, Juanzi and Zhou, Lizhu (2009) Discovering the Staring People From Social Networks.
