The effectiveness of our new role and position detection algorithms is evaluated both qualitatively and quantitatively, on synthetic and real data, showing that we can identify new types of meaningful patterns in networks.}, year = {2016}, journal = {Social Network Analysis and Mining}, volume = {6}, pages = {1–23}, issn = {1869-5469}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s13278-016-0346-9}, doi = {10.1007/s13278-016-0346-9}, }
