Systems and Methods for Determining Influencers in a Social Data Network

摘要

A system and method performed by a server for determining at least one user account that is influential for a topic: obtaining the topic; determining a plurality of user accounts within a social data network that are related to the topic; representing each of the user accounts as a node in a connected graph and determining an existence of a relationship between each of the user accounts; computing a topic network graph using each of the user accounts as nodes and the corresponding relationships as edges between each of the nodes; ranking the user accounts within the topic network graph to filter outlier nodes within the topic network graph; identifying at least two distinct communities amongst the user accounts within the filtered topic network graph, each community associated with a subset of the user accounts; identifying attributes associated with each community; outputting each community associated with the corresponding attributes.
