Abstract
This paper presents a social approach for identifying key actors in microblogging social network. In particular, we propose three specific link analysis algorithms called InfRank, LeadRank and DiscussRank that identify influencers, leaders and discussers, respectively. Conducted experiments on TREC 2011 Microblog dataset, show that the proposed algorithms outperform close microblogger ranking approaches.
