中文简介:
无论是在Flickr中建模书签行为,还是在大型网络中建模失败的级联,扩散模型通常都是从几个节点开始长链反应的假设开始的,从而导致大规模的级联。虽然在某些条件下是合理的,但这种假设可能不适用于社交媒体网络,因为用户参与度很高,信息可能从多个不相连的来源进入系统。本文利用262985个Facebook页面及其社交粉丝的数据集,对大型社交媒体网络的传播进行了实证研究。虽然Facebook的扩散链通常非常长(观察到高达82级的扩散链),但它们通常不是单链反应事件的结果。相反,这些DIF融合链通常由大量用户启动。当成百上千的短扩散链融合在一起时,就出现了大团簇。本文利用零膨胀负二项回归分析了这些扩散链。我们表明,在控制了分布效果之后,没有任何有意义的证据表明,可以通过用户的人口统计数据或Facebook使用特征(包括用户的Facebook好友数量)预测开始节点的最大扩散链长度。这有助于对未来公众舆论形成研究的深入了解。
课程简介: Whether they are modeling bookmarking behavior in Flickr or cascades of failure in large networks, models of diffusion often start with the assumption that a few nodes start long chain reactions, resulting in large-scale cascades. While rea-sonable under some conditions, this assumption may not hold for social media networks, where user engagement is high and information may enter a system from multiple dis-connected sources. Using a dataset of 262,985 Facebook Pages and their as-sociated fans, this paper provides an empirical investigation of diffusion through a large social media network. Although Facebook diffusion chains are often extremely long (chains of up to 82 levels have been observed), they are not usually the result of a single chain-reaction event. Rather, these dif-fusion chains are typically started by a substantial number of users. Large clusters emerge when hundreds or even thousands of short diffusion chains merge together. This paper presents an analysis of these diffusion chains using zero-inflated negative binomial regressions. We show that after controlling for distribution effects, there is no meaningful evidence that a start node’s maximum diffusion chain length can be predicted with the user’s demographics or Facebook usage characteristics (including the user’s number of Facebook friends). This may provide insight into future research on public opinion formation.
