Abstract :
Though numerous research has been devoted to social network discovery and analysis, relatively little research has been conducted on business network discovery. The main contribution of our research is the development of a novel probabilistic generative model for latent business networks mining. Our experimental results confirm that the proposed method outperforms the well-known vector space based model by 24% in terms of AUC value.
