Progress has been made in understanding how temporal (time-evolving) network features affect the percentage of nodes reached by an information diffusion process, i.e. the prevalence of information, epidemic and opinion. In this work, we addressed the long-standing questions: which node pairs (social relations) are likely to contribute to the actual diffusion of information, i.e., appear in a diffusion trajectory? How is this likelihood related to the local temporal connection features of the node pair?
