2 Intelligent Database Systems Lab N.Y.U.S.T. I. M. 2 Outline Motivation Objective Methodology Experiments Conclusion Personal Comments

3 Intelligent Database Systems Lab N.Y.U.S.T. I. M. Motivation Peasants of French medieval society about 90% of the population, but their community are anonymous related to a master, so To extract a community structure (degree distribution, the number of components, the density, etc.) To provide a organization of these small homogeneous social group Could help historians to have a synthetic view of the social organization of the peasant communities during the Middle Ages. 3 Fig. social network

4 Intelligent Database Systems Lab N.Y.U.S.T. I. M. 4 Objectives To explore the structure of a medieval social network modeled trough a weighted graph. 1. Defines perfect communities and uses spectral analysis of the Laplacian to identify them. 2. Implements a batch kernel SOM which builds less perfect communities and maps them. Results are compared and confronted to prior historical knowledge. Fig. perfect communities Fig. Final self-organizing map (7 * 7 square grid)

5 Intelligent Database Systems Lab N.Y.U.S.T. I. M. Methodology – perfect community 5 Laplacian method Spectral properties of the Laplacian (to find the perfect community)

6 Intelligent Database Systems Lab N.Y.U.S.T. I. M. Methodology – perfect community (Cont.) Clustering through the search of perfect communities  The perfect community is a subgraph, which all its vertices are  pairwise linked by an edge  Has exactly the same neighbors outside the community  The rich-club occurs when the vertices with highest degree from a dense subgraph with a small diameter.  The central vertices is a set of vertex which connect the whole graph. 6 Fig. perfect communities (circles), the rich-club (rectangle) and central vertices (squares).

7 Intelligent Database Systems Lab N.Y.U.S.T. I. M. Methodology – batch kernel SOM 7 (Dis)Similarity measure : Almost perfect communities to graph cuts Diffusion kernel : define a kernel that maps the vertices in a high- dimensional space

8 Intelligent Database Systems Lab N.Y.U.S.T. I. M. Methodology – batch kernel SOM (Cont.) 8

9 Intelligent Database Systems Lab N.Y.U.S.T. I. M. Experiments (A) Simple representation of the graph by Tulip Two persons are linked together if: they appear in a same contract, they appear in two different contracts which differ from less than 15 years and on which they are related to the same lord or to the same notary. 9 Fig. Representation of the medieval social network with force directed algorithm. (615 vertices and 4193 edges) Fig. Cumulative degree distribution (solid) of the weighted graph

10 Intelligent Database Systems Lab N.Y.U.S.T. I. M. Experiments (Cont.) (B) Clustering the medieval graph into perfect communities and rich- club 10 Fig. green level of the disk encodes the mean date of the contracts in which the members of the community are involved (from black, 1260, to white, 1340). Fig. density of the induced subgraph as a function of the number of highest degree vertices (log scale) Fig. number of components of the subgraph of perfect community and rich-club as a function of the number of vertices with high betweenness measure added

11 Intelligent Database Systems Lab N.Y.U.S.T. I. M. Experiments (Cont.) 11 Fig. Graph of the perfect communities by geographical locations (yellow: Flaugnac, blue: Saint-Julien, green: Pern, pink: Cornus, red: Ganic and orange: Divilhac).

12 Intelligent Database Systems Lab N.Y.U.S.T. I. M. Experiments (Cont.) 12 (C) Mapping the medieval graph with the SOM Fig. Final self-organizing map (7 * 7 square grid). Self-organizing map of the main cluster. Fig. Mean date for each cluster from black, 1260, to white, 1340.

13 Intelligent Database Systems Lab N.Y.U.S.T. I. M. 13 Conclusions The two approach can both provide elements to help the historians to understand the organization of the medieval society. The two approach have distinct advantages and weaknesses.  Kernel SOM can provides a notion of proximity, organization and distance between the communities.  Kernel SOM organize all the vertices of the graph (not only the vertices that belong to a perfect community).  Perfect community approach is more reliable for local interpretations.  The definition of a perfect community is restrictive.
