Glossary

Egocentric network:

A special type of social network that involves a focal user called “ego.” The egocentric network of a user (ego) consists of the individuals called “alters” having a direct relationship with the user (ego) together with the relationships between these individuals

User profile:

A record of user information (personnel data, preferences, interests). In information systems, adaptive information mechanisms (e.g., personalization, information access, recommendation) rely on user profiles to propose relevant content according to the user-specific needs

Social profile:

A particular user profile in which the interests are extracted from the information of user social network members

Definition

Egocentric network-based user profiling consists in extracting the user interests...
