About the DataHour

Have you ever solved blood relation questions?

There is an invisible thread that joins all relations (dots) together. Now imagine, this thread being in our social networks, connecting one dot to another. That is called Social Network Analytics (SNA). The network science of Social Network Analysis is a broad examination of social networks using ideas from network and graph theory. It investigates how people behave on a micro level, their interactions (social structure) on a macro level, and the relationship between the two.

The SNA builds a relation between entities. This method is also used by companies such as Facebook, LinkedIn, and organizations to understand the workflow. Further, this is also used in identifying and isolating individuals and groups that are transmitters of diseases.

This DataHour will help you in framing business problems as an SNA use case and learning the approach to solve them. SNA is a tool that financial institutions employ to detect fraud. Fraud is frequently orchestrated through networks of individuals with tenuous ties to one another. Financial institutions will be able to identify consumers who might be related to people or entities on their criminal watchlist (network) and take preventative steps as a result of such a network mapping.
