Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for resolving relationships in a relationship graph of identities. A strength of at least one link from a node of the relationship graph may be reduced, based on at least a count of the links from the node. Further, the reduction may be based on one or more predefined threshold counts. The node having a reduced link strength may be evaluated to identify whether a relationship between the node and a specified node meets predefined criteria for a relationship of interest. A user may be alerted of any identified relationship.
