KDD15 Dataset

Due to privacy constraints we are able to provide parts (but not all datasets) used for our KDD15 paper. Specifically we are able to share the matching identities users willingly provide on Google+. If you are interested in using this data, please read the terms and conditions carefully.

Google+ sitemap (contains all the users in Google+ in 2010):

googlep_sitemap.tar.gz

Profile information for 475.257 random Google+ indentities. Each line corresponds to a user and contains the links to the matching identities of the user on other social networks.

google_profiles.json.tar.gz

Profile information on other social networks of the matching identities of the users in the above Google+ dataset. Each line correponds to a (Facebook/Linkedin/Twitter/Flickr/Myspace) identity. The linked_username element corresponds to the ID of the Google+ identity of the user (i.e., the key that links to the google_profiles.json.tar.gz dataset).

facebook.json.tar.gz
linkedin.json.tar.gz
twitter.json.tar.gz
flickr.json.tar.gz
myspace.json.tar.gz

For 1037 Twitter identities, the list of identities in Facebook that have the same or similar names. Each file corresponds to a Twitter identity and contains a list of identities on Facebook that have the same or a similar name with the Twitter identity. The ID of the Twitter identity is in the name of the file.
