Predicting information diffusion probabilities in social networks: A Bayesian networks based approach

作者:

Highlights:

• Proposed approach predicts information diffusion probability in the social networks.

• A machine learning based Bayesian network model is trained and tested.

• Method utilizes diffusion history, network and content based features for modeling.

• Method utilizes LDA topic model to formulate user interests and message semantics.

• Experiments are performed on Twitter data to show the effectiveness of the method.
