Description
Summary:Most research on influence maximization focuses on the network structure features of the diffusion process but lacks the consideration of multi-dimensional characteristics. This paper proposes the attributed influence maximization based on the crowd emotion, aiming to apply the user’s emotion and group features to study the influence of multi-dimensional characteristics on information propagation. To measure the interaction effects of individual emotions, we define the user emotion power and the cluster credibility, and propose a potential influence user discovery algorithm based on the emotion aggregation mechanism to locate seed candidate sets. A two-factor information propagation model is then introduced, which considers the complexity of real networks. Experiments on real-world datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. The results outperform the heuristic methods and are almost consistent with the greedy methods yet with improved time performance.
