Abstract
In an example, a granularity of title similarity is determined, wherein the granularity of title similarity is a level at which social networking data should be filtered to identify titles similar to a target title. Then a weighted graph of titles is constructed at the granularity of title similarity, wherein each node in the weighted graph is a title and a directed edge exists in the weighted graph between a first node and a second node if the social networking data, at the granularity of title similarity, indicates that a transition occurred wherein a member who held a position with a title corresponding to the first node transitioned to a position with a title corresponding to the second node, wherein each directed edge contains a weight indicating a strength of relationship between nodes. The weighted graph of locations is traversed from a node corresponding to the target title in order to identify titles similar to the target title.
