Abstract

Current friend recommendation system on Twitter primarily recommends the most influential twitter. However, this way of recommendation has drawbacks where it does not recommend the users of which attributes of interests are similar to theirs. Since users want other users of which attributes are similar, this study implements follower recommendation system based on the similarity of twitter node informations. The data in this study is from SNAP(Stanford Network Analysis Platform), and it consists of twitter node information of which number of followers is over 10,000 and twitter link information. We used the SNAP data as a training data, and generated a classifier which recommends and predicts the relation between followers. We evaluated the classifier by 10-Fold Cross validation. Once two twitter node informations are given, our model can recommend the relationship of the two twitters as one of following such as: FoFo(Follower Follower), FoFr(Follower Friend), NC(Not Connected).

현재 트위터에서 제공되는 친구추천 시스템은 영향력이 높은 사용자를 우선적으로 추천해준다. 하지만 사용자정보의 유사성이 높은 다른 사용자는 추천되지 않는 단점을 가지고 있다. 사용자들은 정보의 유사성이 높은 사용자 추천을 원하기 때문에 이러한 단점을 극복하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 사용자정보의 유사성을 기반으로 팔로어 추천 시스템을 구현하였다. 본 논문에서 사용된 데이터는 SNAP(Stanford Network Analysis Platform)에서 제공하는 데이터로, 팔로어의 수가 10,000명이상인 트위터의 사용자정보와 노드간 연결 데이터로 구성된다. 이 데이터를 트레이닝 데이터로 활용하여 팔로어간의 관계를 분류해줄 수 있는 분류자를 생성하고, 10-Fold Cross Validation을 활용하여, 분류자의 정확도를 판단한다. 두 트위터의 정보가 주어지면 그들 사이에 친구 관계, 팔로우 관계, 비연결 관계를 추천한다.
