Main Abstract:
Twitter, a microblogging service, has evolved into a powerful communication platform with millions of active users who generate immense volume of microposts on a daily basis. To facilitate effective categorization and easy search, users adopt hashtags, keywords or phrases preceded by hash (#) character. Successful prediction of the spread and propagation of information in the form of trending topics or hashtags in Twitter, could help real time identification of new trends and thus improve marketing efforts. Social theories such as consistency theory suggest that people prefer harmony or consistency in their thoughts. In Twitter, for example, users are more likely to adopt the same trending hashtag multiple times before it eventually dies. In this paper, we propose a low-rank weighted matrix factorization approach to model trending hashtag adoption in Twitter based on consistency theory. In particular, we first cast the problem of modeling trending hashtag adoption into an optimization problem, then integrate consistency theory into it as a regularization term and finally leverage widely used matrix factorization to solve the optimization. Empirical experiments demonstrate that our method outperforms other baselines in predicting whether a specific trending hashtag will be used by users in future.

[1]: Current social media research mainly focuses on temporal trends of the information flow and on the topology of the social graph that facilitates the propagation of information. In this paper we study the effect of the content of the idea on the information propagation. We present an efficient hybrid approach based on a linear regression for predicting the spread of an idea in a given time frame. We show that a combination of content features with temporal and topological features minimizes prediction error. Our algorithm is evaluated on Twitter hashtags extracted from a dataset of more than 400 million tweets. We analyze the contribution and the limitations of the various feature types to the spread of information, demonstrating that content aspects can be used as strong predictors thus should not be disregarded. We also study the dependencies between global features such as graph topology and content features.
A more recent work [1] proposed a hybrid linear regression based approach for predicting the spread of ideas in a given time period. In particular, they used both topology of the social graph and contents of ideas to model the propagation of ideas in Twitter by viewing hashtags as ideas and training a regression model to predict the hashtag spread in a time frame.
