Celebrità

In computer science, the term „Celebrità“ (translated as „Celebrity“) often refers to a specific concept in network science, particularly in social networks. A celebrity in this context is an individual or entity that has a significantly higher degree of connectivity compared to others within a network.

This can manifest in various forms, such as having a vast number of followers on social media, being the most referenced or influential individual in a dataset, or holding a central position in a graph-based model. Celebrities can play crucial roles in information dissemination, trends, and user engagement, as they often act as hubs around which interactions and communications revolve.

The concept is not only limited to social networks but can also apply to any system that can be modeled as a graph, where vertices represent nodes (like people or accounts) and edges represent relationships or interactions. Identifying celebrities within a network can be important for applications such as targeted marketing, viral content propagation, and understanding social influence dynamics.
