Nouvelle méthode de calcul de la réputation dans les forums de santé
Abstract
More and more forums, such as Slashdot ou Stack Exchange, offer reputation systems
based on collaborative votes of postedmessages. Indeed, users can give a score to eachmessage
according to its relevance or usefulness. However, these voting functionalities are not used in
many online communities such as health forums. In these forums, users prefer posting a new
message (reply) where they express agreement or thanking about relevant posts rather than
pressing a vote up button. In this work, we suggest to use these hidden expressions of trust in
order to estimate user reputations in online forums.
