We propose the item influence embedding which adopts the social influence diffusion concept to model the item relations. We can learn the activation paths in items-item relation graph. In addition, for generating top-k items, most of recommendation systems calculate the similarity between user embedding and embedding of all items. The calculation costs too much time when number of users and items are huge. Therefore, we propose the User Preference Translation Model (UPTM) to recommend the Top-k items based on the language translation technology. UPTM directly generates the recommendation items based on translating the user preference. We can avoid to calculate the similarity of user embedding and item embedding. From the experimental results, UPTM not only outperforms the compared methods but also save the time in real large datasets.","PeriodicalId":196317,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE/ACM International Conference on Advances in Social Networks Analysis and Mining (ASONAM)","volume":"89 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134132014","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Existing techniques investigated the use of personal discrete attributes such as user name, gender, location, and email which are not always available. Other techniques explored the use of network relations. In our proposal, we attempt to design a generic framework for user identity linkage across diverse social networks based exclusively on the widely available textual user generated content. We intentionally selected two social networks, Twitter and Quora, which have different contribution models and serve different purposes, and explore different supervised and unsupervised techniques for matching profiles as well as different language models ranging from simple tf*idf vectorization to more sophisticated BERT embeddings. We discuss the limits of different choices and present some encouraging preliminary results. For example, we find that prolific users can be identified with 84% accuracy. We also present a framework we designed to create the largest publicly available annotated dataset for profile linkage in social networks.","PeriodicalId":196317,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE/ACM International Conference on Advances in Social Networks Analysis and Mining (ASONAM)","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133887813","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Notwithstanding the huge amount of literature on analyzing positive and negative emotions conveyed by social media users, researchers have not widely investigated the main determinants of online sentiment during crises. To fill this gap, in this paper we analyse a large-scale dataset of over 1.7 M tweets in order to understand whether online feelings, expressed by Italian individuals on Twitter during the pandemic, have been affected by socio-economic and epidemiological variables. Leveraging both panel models and cross-section regressions at different geographical levels, we find that more pessimistic feelings are communicated by users located in areas where the virus hit more severely, with a higher mortality rate and a larger fraction of infected individuals with respect to the local population. Finally, we show that administrative units exhibiting the most positive emotions are those characterized by lower income per capita and larger socio-economic deprivation, suggesting that sentiments in online conversations could be driven by epidemiological factors and by the fear of economic backlashes in wealthier areas of Italy.","PeriodicalId":196317,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE/ACM International Conference on Advances in Social Networks Analysis and Mining (ASONAM)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129370671","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Simulations using agent-based modeling (ABM) analyze aggregate network outcomes when individual agents act on typically limited information, and tend to focus on agents that are conforming and homophilic - that is, they prefer to be around similar others, and they update their own personal state over time to be more like their friends. In this work, we illustrate the value of diverse agent modeling in environments that allow for strategic unfriending. We focus on network dynamics generated by three agent models, or archetypes. Our work shows that polarization and consensus dynamics, as well as topological clustering effects, may rely more than previously known on the interplay between individuals' goals for the composition of their neighborhood's opinions.","PeriodicalId":196317,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE/ACM International Conference on Advances in Social Networks Analysis and Mining (ASONAM)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128840162","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This motivates a better understanding of the characteristics of disruptive behaviour on the internet and methods of detection. In this work we focus on Reddit which provides a rich social media platform for community focused interactions. Using network representations of user activity alongside temporal statistics and other features we assess the behaviour of a sample of potentially disruptive users, based on their assigned comment karma (an aggregate of a user's comment up-votes), relative to the wider population. We explore how these signals contribute to the accurate prediction of disruptive users, and note that this is achieved without requiring any semantic analysis. Our results show that it is possible to detect signs of disruptive behaviour with good accuracy using limited inputs that are primarily based on the reply patterns that users generate. This is of potential value for large-scale detection problems and operation across different languages.","PeriodicalId":196317,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE/ACM International Conference on Advances in Social Networks Analysis and Mining (ASONAM)","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124328201","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
