Abstract In order to effectively detect the privacy that may be leaked through social networks and avoid unnecessary harm to users, this paper takes microblog as the research object to study the detection of privacy disclosure in social networks. First, we perform fast privacy leak detection on the currently published text based on the fastText model. In the case that the text to be published contains certain private information, we fully consider the aggregation effect of the private information leaked by different channels, and establish a convolution neural network model based on multi-dimensional features (MF-CNN) to detect privacy disclosure comprehensively and… More >

Abstract With the rapid development of social network, public opinion monitoring based on social networks is becoming more and more important. Many platforms have achieved some success in public opinion monitoring. However, these platforms cannot perform well in scalability, fault tolerance, and real-time performance. In this paper, we propose a novel social-network-oriented public opinion monitoring platform based on ElasticSearch (SNES). Firstly, SNES integrates the module of distributed crawler cluster, which provides real-time social media data access. Secondly, SNES integrates ElasticSearch which can store and retrieve massive unstructured data in near real time. Finally, we design subscription module based on Apache Kafka… More >

Abstract With the rapid development of the mobile Internet, users generate massive data in different forms in social network every day, and different characteristics of users are reflected by these social media data. How to integrate multiple heterogeneous information and establish user profiles from multiple perspectives plays an important role in providing personalized services, marketing, and recommendation systems. In this paper, we propose Multi-source & Multi-task Learning for User Profiles in Social Network which integrates multiple social data sources and contains a multi-task learning framework to simultaneously predict various attributes of a user. Firstly, we design their own feature extraction models… More >

Abstract There are some scenarios that need group recommendation such as watching a movie or a TV series, selecting a tourist destination, or having dinner together. Approaches in this domain can be divided into two categories: Creating group profiles and aggregating individual recommender list. Yet none of the above methods can handle the online group recommendation both efficiently and accurately and these methods either strongly limited by their application environment, or bring bias towards those users having limited connections with this group. In this work, we propose a local optimization framework, using sub-group profiles to compute the item relevance. Such method… More >

Abstract The issue of privacy protection for mobile social networks is a frontier topic in the field of social network applications. The existing researches on user privacy protection in mobile social network mainly focus on privacy preserving data publishing and access control. There is little research on the association of user privacy information, so it is not easy to design personalized privacy protection strategy, but also increase the complexity of user privacy settings. Therefore, this paper concentrates on the association of user privacy information taking big data analysis tools, so as to provide data support for personalized privacy protection strategy design.

Abstract The problem of influence maximization in the social network G is to find k seed nodes with the maximum influence. The seed set S has a wider range of influence in the social network G than other same-size node sets. The influence of a node is usually established by using the IC model (Independent Cascade model) with a considerable amount of Monte Carlo simulations used to approximate the influence of the node. In addition, an approximate effect (1-1/e) is obtained, when the number of Monte Carlo simulations is 10000 and the probability of propagation is very small. In this paper,… More >

Abstract With the rapid development of the new generation of information technology, the analysis of mobile social network big data is getting deeper and deeper. At the same time, the risk of privacy disclosure in social network is also very obvious. In this paper, we summarize the main access control model in mobile social network, analyze their contribution and point out their disadvantages. On this basis, a practical privacy policy is defined through authorization model supporting personalized privacy preferences. Experiments have been conducted on synthetic data sets. The result shows that the proposed privacy protecting model could improve the security of… More >

Abstract The influence maximization is the problem of finding k seed nodes that maximize the scope of influence in a social network. Therefore, the comprehensive influence of node needs to be considered, when we choose the most influential node set consisted of k seed nodes. On account of the traditional methods used to measure the influence of nodes, such as degree centrality, betweenness centrality and closeness centrality, consider only a single aspect of the influence of node, so the influence measured by traditional methods mentioned above of node is not accurate. In this paper, we obtain the following result through experimental… More >

Abstract The popularity of news, which conveys newsworthy events which occur during day to people, is substantially important for the spectator or audience. People interact with news website and share news links or their opinions. This study uses supervised learning based machine learning techniques in order to predict news popularity in social media sources. These techniques consist of basically two phrases: a) the training data is sent as input to the classifier algorithm, b) the performance of pre-learned algorithm is tested on the testing data. And so, a knowledge discovery from the data is performed. In this context, firstly, twelve datasets… More >

Abstract In this research, we aim to identify and investigate the impacts of key influencers on community formations and developments. We assess the impacts of key influencers by analyzing the activities and structure of the social media presence of a local community. Results of our analysis show that key influencers play important roles in connecting the community, transferring information, and improving overall sentiment of the community members. Our findings suggest that community practitioners can apply social network analysis to identify value-added influencers and discover strategies for improving the community and keeping leadership roles.
