Analysis and Visualization of Internet Movie Database Some Approaches to the Analysis and Visualization of the Internet Movie Database Vladimir Batagelj and Andrej Mrvar University of Ljubljana, Slovenia Adel Ahmed, Xiaoyan Fu, Seok-Hee Hong and Damian Merrick National ICT Australia, Sydney, Australia September 8, 2005 The source of the original data is the Internet Movie Database. We transformed the contest data into a Pajek temporal network with some additional vec- tors and partitions describing the properties of vertices. imdb.net - imdb network in Pajek format imdbL.net - imdb network with long names imdb.clu - type partition of vertices imdb.nam - long names imdb.vec - year large.net - largest weak component with long names large.vec - years for large largeT.clu - type partition for large largeB.clu - bipartition for large The file imdb.clu contains the following classes: 0 Actor 11 Crime 1 Drama 12 Sci-Fi 2 Short 13 Horror 3 Documentary 14 War 4 Comedy 15 Fantasy 5 Western 16 Romance 6 Family 17 Adventure 7 Mystery 18 Animation 8 Thriller 19 Action 9 Adult 20 Musical 10 Music 21 Film-Noir 99 Unknown The Pajek data files are available at Pajek ’s data sets page. 1 Basic characteristics of IMDB The IMDB network is bipartite (2-mode) and has 1324748 = 428440 + 896308 vertices and 3792390 arcs. 9927 of the arcs in the network are multiple (parallel) arcs. Here is their distribution. multiplicity frequency ------------------------ 1 3775126 2 6178 3 588 4 267 5 128 6 66 7 45 8 18 9 23 10 6 11 5 12 3 13 2 15 1 16 1 17 2 22 1 32 1 35 1 43 1 ------------------------ The nature of the appearance of multiple arcs can be seen from the Figure 1 where all arcs with multiplicity at least 8 are displayed. In the analyses that follow, we decided to treat multiple arcs as single. The IMDB network consists of 132714 weak components. Here is the distribution of their sizes.

Also, because of the size of the IMDB network, the standard reduction of the entire network to one or the other derived 1-mode network was not an option. The only special method available in Pajek was the adapted version of hubs and authorities, which did not produce very interesting results. We started to think about some new methods. Last August we developed and implemented in Pajek two new methods for analysis of bipartite networks: • bipartite version of cores – (p, q)-cores • 4-rings weights on lines For details see Dagstuhl seminar 05361 / Batagelj. (p, q)-cores The subset of vertices C ⊆ V is a (p, q)-core in a bipartite (2-mode) network N = (V1,V2; L), V = V1 ∪ V2 iff a. in the induced subnetwork K = (C1,C2; L(C)), C1 = C ∩ V1, C2 = C ∩ V2 it holds ∀v ∈ C1 : degK (v) ≥ p and ∀v ∈ C2 : degK (v) ≥ q ; b. C is the maximal subset of V satisfying condition a. The basic properties of bipartite cores are: • C(0, 0) = V • K(p, q) is not always connected • (p1 ≤ p2) ∧ (q1 ≤ q2) ⇒ C(p1, q1) ⊆ C(p2, q2) There exists a very efficient O(m) algorithm to determine (p, q)-cores. Since there are many (p, q)-cores, we must answer the question of how to select the interest- ing ones among them. To help the user in these decisions, we implemented in Pajek a Table of cores’ characteristics n1 = |C1(p, q)|, n2 = |C2(p, q)| and k – number of components in K(p, q). We look for (p, q)-cores where • n1 + n2 ≤ selected threshold • big jumps from C(p − 1, q) and C(p, q − 1) to C(p, q). We selected (247,2)-core, (27,22)-core and (2,516)-core. From the labels we can see that the corresponding topics are wrestling and pornography. 4 Table 1: (p, q : n1, n2) for IMDB 1 1590: 1590 1 | 22 24: 1854 1153 | 43 14: 29 83 2 516: 788 3 | 23 23: 47 56 | 44 14: 29 83 3 212: 1705 18 | 24 23: 34 39 | 45 13: 30 95 4 151: 4330 154 | 25 22: 42 53 | 46 13: 29 94 5 131: 4282 209 | 26 22: 31 38 | 47 12: 29 101 6 115: 3635 223 | 27 22: 31 38 | 48 12: 28 100 7 101: 3224 244 | 28 20: 36 53 | 49 12: 26 95 8 88: 2860 263 | 29 20: 35 52 | 50 11: 27 111 9 77: 3467 393 | 30 19: 35 59 | 51 11: 26 110 10 69: 3150 428 | 31 19: 35 59 | 52 11: 16 79 11 63: 2442 382 | 32 19: 34 57 | 53 10: 35 162 12 56: 2479 454 | 33 18: 34 62 | 54 10: 35 162 13 50: 3330 716 | 34 18: 34 62 | 55 10: 34 162 14 46: 2460 596 | 35 18: 33 61 | 56 10: 34 162 15 42: 2663 739 | 36 17: 33 65 | 57 9: 35 187 16 39: 2173 678 | 37 16: 33 75 | 58 9: 33 180 17 35: 2791 995 | 38 16: 30 73 | 59 9: 33 180 18 32: 2684 1080 | 39 16: 29 70 | 60 9: 32 178 19 30: 2395 1063 | 40 15: 29 77 | 61 9: 31 177 20 28: 2216 1087 | 41 15: 28 76 | 62 9: 31 177 21 26: 1988 1087 | 42 15: 28 76 | 63 8: 31 202 5 Zhukov, Boris (I) Wright, Charles (II) Wilson, Al (III) Wight, Paul Wickens, Brian White, Leon Warrior Warrington, Chaz Ware, David (II) Waltman, Sean Walker, P.J. von Erich, Kerry Vaziri, Kazrow Van Dam, Rob Valentine, Greg Vailahi, Sione Tunney, Jack Traylor, Raymond Tenta, John Taylor, Terry (IV) Taylor, Scott (IX) Tanaka, Pat Tajiri, Yoshihiro Szopinski, Terry Storm, Lance Steiner, Scott Steiner, Rick (I) Solis, Mercid Snow, Al Smith, Davey Boy Slaughter, Sgt.

  • The Vulnerabilities of Developed States to Economic Cyber Warfare
    Working Paper The Vulnerabilities of Developed States to Economic Cyber Warfare Paul Cornish Head, International Security Programme and Carrington Professor of International Security, Chatham House June 2011 The views expressed in this document are the sole responsibility of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the view of Chatham House, its staff, associates or Council. Chatham House is independent and owes no allegiance to any government or to any political body. It does not take institutional positions on policy issues. This document is issued on the understanding that if any extract is used, the author and Chatham House should be credited, preferably with the date of the publication. Working Paper: The Vulnerabilities of Developed States to Economic Cyber Warfare INTRODUCTION The central features of the ‘cybered’ world of the early 21st century are the interconnectedness of global communications, information and economic infrastructures and the dependence upon those infrastructures in order to govern, to do business or simply to live. There are a number of observations to be made of this world. First, it is still evolving. Economically developed societies are becoming ever more closely connected within themselves and with other, technologically advanced societies, and all are becoming increasingly dependent upon the rapid and reliable transmission of ideas, information and data. Second, where interconnectedness and dependency are not managed and mitigated by some form of security procedure, reversionary mode or redundancy system, then the result can only be a complex and vitally important communications system which is nevertheless vulnerable to information theft, financial electronic crime, malicious attack or infrastructure breakdown.

Coleman Columbia University Executive Summary The current state of theory, research, and practice on protracted, intractable conflict is robust but limited; although much progress has been made, our understanding is bounded by discipline, culture, role-in-conflict (expert versus disputant), and social class. This pilot project, funded through a mini-grant from the Intractable Conflict Knowledge Base (ICKB), elicited alternative ways-of-knowing and engaging with the phenomenon of intractable social conflict that are typically excluded from the dominant discourse in this area. A professionally and culturally diverse group of scholar- practitioners were identified through the ICKB network as potential participants, and nine (9) pilot interviews were conducted for this study.

  • Key Scriptures: Revelation 19:1-21 Ezekiel 38 & 39 Joel 2:1-11
    God's Master Plan In Prophecy Lesson 13 – The Battle of Armageddon & 2nd Coming of Jesus Christ Key Scriptures: Revelation 19:1-21 Ezekiel 38 & 39 Joel 2:1-11 Zechariah 12-14 Introduction Rev 19:1 After these things I heard something like a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, "Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God; While the Wrath of God is being poured out, there was the voice of "a great multitude in heaven" praising God! This is the redeemed church which has missed the Wrath of God and was taken out of Great Tribulation. While the earth is experiencing the judgment of God without mercy, we are experiencing His goodness without judgment! Rev 19:2-3 BECAUSE HIS JUDGMENTS ARE TRUE AND RIGHTEOUS; for He has judged the great harlot who was corrupting the earth with her immorality, and HE HAS AVENGED THE BLOOD OF HIS BOND-SERVANTS ON HER." 3 And a second time they said, "Hallelujah! HER SMOKE RISES UP FOREVER AND EVER." From what is being said in these verse, it is obvious that the church will be fully aware of what is happening upon the earth during this time, yet because we are no longer viewing earth's events through the eyes of mortal flesh, we will understand that God is righteous and true in His judgments. To modern minds it may seem strange to worship and say, “hallelujah” over the fact that God is pouring out judgment, but that is because we see imperfectly now.

  • Leverage and Asset Bubbles: Averting Armageddon with Chapter 11?*
    The Economic Journal, 120 (May), 500–518. doi: 10.1111/j.1468-0297.2010.02357.x. Ó The Author(s). Journal compilation Ó Royal Economic Society 2010. Published by Blackwell Publishing, 9600 Garsington Road, Oxford OX4 2DQ, UK and 350 Main Street, Malden, MA 02148, USA. LEVERAGE AND ASSET BUBBLES: AVERTING ARMAGEDDON WITH CHAPTER 11?* Marcus Miller and Joseph Stiglitz An iconic model with high leverage and overvalued collateral assets is used to illustrate the ampli- fication mechanism driving asset prices to ÔovershootÕ equilibrium when an asset bubble bursts – threatening widespread insolvency and what Richard Koo calls a Ôbalance sheet recessionÕ. Besides interest rates cuts, asset purchases and capital restructuring are key to crisis resolution. The usual bankruptcy procedures for doing this fail to internalise the price effects of asset Ôfire-salesÕ to pay down debts, however. We discuss how official intervention in the form of ÔsuperÕ Chapter 11 actions can help prevent asset price correction causing widespread economic disruption. There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy. Hamlet From 2007 to 2009 a chain of events, beginning with unexpected losses in the US sub-prime mortgage market, was destined to bring the global financial system close to collapse and to drag the world economy into recession. ÔOne of the key challenges posed by this crisisÕ, says Williamson (2009), Ôis to understand how such major consequences can flow from such a seemingly minor eventÕ. Before describing an amplification mechanism involving overpriced assets and excessive leverage, we begin by looking, albeit briefly, at what the current macroeconomic paradigm may have to say.

  • The Rapture in Twenty Centuries of Biblical Interpretation
    TMSJ 13/2 (Fall 2002) 149-171 THE RAPTURE IN TWENTY CENTURIES OF BIBLICAL INTERPRETATION James F. Stitzinger Associate Professor of Historical Theology The coming of God’s Messiah deserves closer attention than it has often received. The future coming of the Messiah, called the “rapture,” is imminent, literal and visible, for all church saints, before the hour of testing, premillennial, and, based on a literal hermeneutic, distinguishes between Israel and the church. The early church fathers’ views advocated a sort of imminent intra- or post- tribulationism in connection with their premillennial teaching. With a few exceptions, the Medieval church writers said little about a future millennium and a future rapture. Reformation leaders had little to say about prophetic portions of Scripture, but did comment on the imminency of Christ’s return. The modern period of church history saw a return to the early church’s premillennial teaching and a pretribulational rapture in the writings of Gill and Edwards, and more particularly in the works of J. N. Darby. After Darby, pretribulationism spread rapidly in both Great Britain and the United States. A resurgence of posttribulationism came after 1952, accompanied by strong opposition to pretribulationism, but a renewed support of pretribulationism has arisen in the recent past. Five premillennial views of the rapture include two major views—pretribulationism and posttribulation-ism—and three minor views—partial, midtribulational, and pre-wrath rapturism. * * * * * Introduction The central theme of the Bible is the coming of God’s Messiah. Genesis 3:15 reveals the first promise of Christ’s coming when it records, “He shall bruise you on the head, And you shall bruise him on the heel.”1 Revelation 22:20 unveils the last promise when it records “He who testifies to these things says, ‘Yes, I am coming quickly,’ Amen.
