- Abstract: In recent years, social media has become a ubiquitous and integral part of
social networking. One of the major attentions made by social researchers is
the tendency of like-minded people to interact with one another in social
groups, a concept which is known as Homophily. The study of homophily can
provide eminent insights into the flow of information and behaviors within a
society and this has been extremely useful in analyzing the formations of
online communities. In this paper, we review and survey the effect of homophily
in social networks and summarize the state of art methods that has been
proposed in the past years to identify and measure the effect of homophily in
multiple types of social networks and we conclude with a critical discussion of
open challenges and directions for future research.

Non-verbal social human behavior forecasting has increasingly attracted the interest of the research community in recent years.
Its direct applications to human-robot interaction and socially-aware human motion generation make it a very attractive field.
We define the behavior forecasting problem for multiple interactive agents in a generic way that aims at unifying the fields of social signals prediction and human motion forecasting.
