Abstract

This paper proposed a new algorithm of the credibility evaluation concerening microblog users, based on their multiple interactive relationships and emotional tendencies. Firstly, the algorithm calculated the interaction degree and participation degree of users by analyzing the types and frequency of interactions among users. Secondly, this algorithm made the emotional scores of the textual contents including comments and replies among users by using a sentiment dictionary, and assessed users’ emotional tendencies. Thirdly, based on the PageRank algorithm, the new algorithm extracted the features from user profiles and blog posts in order to compute the initial PageRank value for representing individual user credibility, adjusted the distribution of PageRank weights by integrating the user interaction degree and emotional tendencies, and modified the damping factor in accordance with the participation degree. Finally, the proposed algorithm made the credibility of the evaluated users after the iterative stabilization. The experimental results show that, compared to methods that overlook multi- interaction relationships and emotional tendencies, the new algorithm achieves better results with an improvement of up to 13.86% in terms of AUC value, precision, recall, and F-measure. The method that considers multiple interaction relationships and emotional tendencies can enhance the effectiveness of microblog user credibility evaluation with respect to microblog users.
