Neural opinion dynamics model for the prediction of user-level stance dynamics

作者:

Highlights:

• A novel neural dynamic model for the prediction of user-level stance dynamics.

• Neighbors’ topic-associated impacts are modelled by an attention mechanism.

• User’s posting behaviors are simulated by a Recurrent Neural Network.

• The model’s parameters are continuously updated with the stream data.

• Experiments against static and dynamic alternatives show the effectiveness.
