If you have a question about this talk, please contact Prof. Ramji Venkataramanan.

I will outline the concept of social balance, and its implications for network structure. Previous attempts to quantitatively define social balance have been based on somewhat ad-hoc metrics, leading to inconsistencies. I propose an inferential framework and discuss practical and sociological implications. This work is early stage – feedback warmly welcomed.
