| Abstract | Location-based social networks integrate location-based facilities with social connectivity for delivering a variety of services, enhancing user experience, emergency/disaster management, and streamlining business processes. A number of recent research efforts have studied relationships between geolocation and social connectivity, social connectivity and preferences, and node attributes and strength of social ties. These efforts have successfully demonstrated prediction of various attributes based on social connectivity, mobility, dynamic checkin information, etc., including prediction of user location as well as future checkin locations. In this paper, we study the relationship between shared checkin locations and the structure and nature of social ties. We argue that typical LSBNs are in fact composed of layers of networks of varying structure and function and that it is possible to deconcolve these networks through effective statistical analysis of shared checkins. In this context, we pose and validate the following hypotheses: (1) A large number of shared checkins imply social connectivity; however, social connectivity does not imply statistically large number of shared checkins; (2) entities in social ties that share a large number of checkins tend to be strongly clustered. We hypothesize that such strong ties (e.g., family ties and friendships) carry higher influence compared to weaker ties (mere acquaintances) in the social network; (3) social ties that have statistically fewer shared checkins (weak ties) tend to be less clustered than the underlying (baseline) network. We hypothesize that such ties (e.g., professional ties, friends of friends, and acquaintances) carry less influence; and (4) social ties that have statistically large number of shared checkins (strong ties) tend to be relatively more dynamic when compared to weak ties over a period of time. We present statistical models and validate our hypotheses on real datasets. Our conclusions can significantly enhance flow of information and influence in the network by suitably leveraging the distinct relationships captured in the deconvolved networks. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
