Abstract

Although recent studies show that both topological structures and human dynamics can strongly affect information spreading on social networks, the complicated interplay of the two significant factors has not yet been clearly described. In this work, we find a strong pair wise interaction based on analyzing the weighted network generated by the short message communication dataset within a Chinese tele-communication provider. The pair wise interaction bridges the network topological structure and human interaction dynamics, which can promote local information spreading between pairs of communication partners and in contrast can also suppress global information (e.g., rumor) cascade and spreading. In addition, the pair wise interaction is the basic pattern of group conversations and it can greatly reduce the waiting time of communication events between a pair of intimate friends. Our findings are also helpful for communication operators to design novel tariff strategies and optimize their communication services.
