Rationalizing network predictions using similarity to known connections

A system comprising:

• a computing node comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor of the computing node to cause the processor to perform a method comprising:
• reading a graph comprising a plurality of nodes, each of the plurality of nodes corresponding to an entity or property, the plurality of nodes being interconnected by a plurality of edges, each edge corresponding to a relationship between connected nodes;
• predicting a new edge in the graph, the new edge corresponding to a relationship between a first node and a second node, the first node corresponding to an entity and the second node corresponding to an entity or property;
• locating one or more additional nodes connected to the second node;
• scoring the one or more additional nodes according to its connections in common with the first node;
• providing to a user one or more sources describing the connection between the one or more additional node and the second node.
