Network Intelligence at LinkedIn

From the macroscopic structure of global talent flows to the connectivity patterns of highly localized microindustries, LinkedIn’s network data provides a high-resolution picture of the world’s professional relationships. Viewed through the appropriate lens, these graphs exhibit complex structure across all scales—structure which necessarily transcends the locally constrained perspective of any single participant in the economy. Michael Conover explores the interrelationships between these large-scale structures, applying best-of-class scientific research on complex networks and cutting-edge machine-learning algorithms to reveal an intimate look at the hidden properties of the economic systems that shape our professional lives. Leveraging these insights, Mike demonstrates how you can intelligently navigate these structures to grow and strengthen your professional network by positioning yourself to create opportunity for the people around you.
