Escorts Review Network
A Escort review website (sex worker review community) dataset of 16,730 nodes and 39,044 edges, collected by Rocha et al. via web crawl. Each record contains directed: False, weighted: True, signed: True, temporal: True. Bipartite signed network of escort reviews: clients rate escorts +1 (positive), 0 (neutral), or -1 (negative), with Unix timestamps. One of the few large-scale signed bipartite networks available.. Suitable for signed network analysis, bipartite network analysis, trust propagation.
