        abstract = {Classification in sparsely labeled networks is challenging to traditional neighborhood-based methods due to the lack of labeled neighbors. In this paper, we propose a novel behavior-based collective classification(BCC)methodtoimprovetheclassificationperformanceinsparselylabelednetworks.InBCC, nodes’ behavior features are extracted and used to build latent relationships between labeled nodes and unknown ones. Since mining the latent links does not rely on the direct connection of nodes, decrease of labeled neighbors will have minor effect on classification results. In addition, the BCC method can also be applied to the analysis of networks with heterophily as the homophily assumption is no longer required.
