The Stanford Network Analysis Project (SNAP)

The Stanford Network Analysis Project (SNAP) is a research initiative from Stanford University focused on studying large, complex networks such as social media, communication, and web graphs. SNAP develops advanced tools and algorithms to analyze how these networks grow, connect, and influence behavior. Its goal is to understand patterns in massive datasets, enabling insights into social dynamics, information spread, and network resilience. The project supports both academic research and practical applications, helping organizations optimize online platforms, improve cybersecurity, and better understand interconnected systems.
