A Hybrid Approach for Detecting Influencers in Social Media
Abstract
Detecting influencers in social networks generally relies on a graph structure representing
the users and their interactions. Recent approached take into account, in addition to the struc-
ture of the graph, the textual content generated by the users. Along this line, our approach
uses information extracted from the textual content by linguistic rules and then integrated into
a machine learning system. In this work we present the developed prototype along with the
visualization used in order to facilitate the interpretation of the results.
