  • Dynamic SNA-based anomaly detection using unsupervised learning
    Patent number: 7739211
    Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for enabling dynamic detection of anomalies occurring within an input graph representing a social network. More specifically, the invention provides an automated computer simulation technique that implements the combination of Social Network Analysis (SNA) and statistical pattern classification for detecting abnormal social patterns or events through the expanded use of SNA Metrics. The simulation technique further updates the result sets generated, based on observed occurrences, to dynamically determine what constitutes abnormal behavior, within the overall context of observed patterns of behavior.
