YouTube Networks

These files are two diferent networks of YouTube videos in two different formats each. The networks have been built using a snowball sampling procedure, beginning from the music video "Gucci Mane - I Get The Bag feat. Migos [Official Music Video]" for the gucciSPAt network, and from the "Miles Davis - So What" video for the MDavisSPAt network. The related videos provided by YouTube have been used to link the videos of the networks. Each network is uploaded in pickle format, to be read using the pickle library from python, and in gml format, to be read using other programming languages or programs. The networks from the pickle format are networkx graph objects, thus, this open-source package is needed if this format is preferred.

本数据集包含两组YouTube视频关联网络，每组网络均提供两种存储格式。两组网络均采用雪球抽样（snowball sampling）方法构建：gucciSPAt网络的初始种子为音乐视频《Gucci Mane - I Get The Bag feat. Migos [Official Music Video]》，MDavisSPAt网络的初始种子为视频《Miles Davis - So What》。研究依托YouTube平台提供的相关视频推荐功能完成网络内各视频节点的关联连接。每组网络分别以pickle格式与gml格式存储：pickle格式可通过Python的pickle库读取，gml格式则可通过其他编程语言或可视化程序读取。其中pickle格式存储的网络为networkx图对象，若选择该格式，则需依赖此开源工具包。
