They need to be integrated for better user modelling and personalized services. We argue that in different scenarios, different social networks play different roles and their degrees of importance are not equivalent. Hence, ranking strategies among different social network data sources are needed. In addition, combining different social network data can produce interesting subsets of these data with different levels of importance. In this paper, we propose social network data ranking and composition strategies, we validate the proposed methods by collaboration network data (Semantic Web Dog Food) and micro-blogging data (from Twitter), then we use the ranked and composed results for developing a Web-based personalized academic visit recommendation system to show their potential effectiveness.","PeriodicalId":352894,"journal":{"name":"DUBMMSM '12","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129158132","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}

In this paper, we proposed an innovative model that consists of multiple hidden Markov chains. By learning from the observations from a group of people, our model can not only predict the steady future state of a collective, but also measure the dependency property, reactive factor, of individuals. Experiment result shows that our model has ability to distinguish the behaviors of different persons.","PeriodicalId":352894,"journal":{"name":"DUBMMSM '12","volume":"257 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133391844","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}

It is very challenging for user to choose the suitable tweets for retweeting, given the diverse and massive messages received and limited time on site. Therefore, it is crucial to design a recommender system that automatically recommends tweets for user to retweet. Recommending tweets for retweeting is different from conventional recommender system due to limited explicit feedback, high proportion of cold-start tweets and short tweet active time. In this paper, we propose a novel retweet recommendation (RTR) framework which leverages the implicit feedback to help user find the potential tweets he may want to retweet. RTR is divided into offline learning and online recommendation so that tweets can be taken into account as soon as it is published. In offline learning, we adapt a matrix factorization method based on BPR-OPT framework with implicit feedback to compensate the limited explicit feedback. RTR is able to recommend cold-start tweet based on its content. Extensive experiments on real-world microblogging community clearly show that RTR outperforms upon existing methods.","PeriodicalId":352894,"journal":{"name":"DUBMMSM '12","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133936175","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}

Our proposed method suggests potential members of a clique thus providing opportunities for users of social media to notice the implicit interests associated with other users based on their browsing behavior from the past to the current state, as well as to encourage social communication and relationships.","PeriodicalId":352894,"journal":{"name":"DUBMMSM '12","volume":"298 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131426229","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}

Similarly, the job description is augmented by external databases and user-generated content to build an enhanced job profile. These augmented user and job profiles are then analyzed in order to develop numerical overlap features each with strong discriminating power, and in sum with maximal coverage. The resulting feature scores are then combined into a single Bright Score using a custom algorithm, where the feature weights are derived from a nation-wide and controlled study in which we collected a large sample of human judgments on real resume-job pairings.

Online communities allow users to emotionally interact with large amounts of other users, creating collective states faster than in offline interaction. We present our modeling framework for collective emotions in online communities. This framework allows the analysis and design of agent-based models, including the dynamics of psychological states under emotional interaction. We illustrate the applications of our framework through an overview of two different models. Based on this framework, our first model of emotions in product reviews communities reproduces the empirical distribution of emotions towards products in Amazon. The second model within our framework reproduces the emergence of emotional persistence at the individual and collective level. This persistence pattern is similar to the one revealed by our statistical analysis of IRC chatrooms. Further applications of our framework aim at reproducing collective features of emotions in a variety of online communities.","PeriodicalId":352894,"journal":{"name":"DUBMMSM '12","volume":"119 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134358421","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}
