Empirical Investigation of Finding Person in Social network using Clustering

Abstract

We are trying to identify person as an entity from social network data by grouping the person with some characteristics. It is very difficult to identify people on social networks especially for specific names in different cultures like India, and other ethnic places whose names are difficult to trace. This is a small effort to bridge the gap of identifying person with features like name, date of birth and address containing state, city etc. We are trying to make use of clustering algorithms to uniquely identify people/person on social networks. An empirical analysis of the same is presented here.
