Abstract

The Internet provides users with an overwhelming amount of information. For this reason they may not always be able to find the information they are looking for. Recommendation systems help users locate useful information and save time. Twitter is one of the social networks that implements this type of system in order to help its users in searching content. However, the traditional recommendation system implemented by Twitter only considers people from the user’s surroundings or it suggests the followees/followers of the user’s followees. Many use Twitter as a source of information, it is therefore necessary to create a recommendation system that would suggest experts profiles to other users. Experts must be capable of providing interesting information to users. The “expert” recommended to a users will be chosen on the basis of the content they publish and whether this content is of interest to the user. The proposed system offers accurate and suitable recommendations.
