With a growing number of social apps, people have become increasingly willing to share their everyday photos and events on social media platforms, such as Facebook, Instagram, and WeChat. In social media data mining, post popularity prediction has received much attention from both data scientists and psychologists. Existing research focuses more on exploring the post popularity on a population of users and including comprehensive factors such as temporal information, user connections, number of comments, and so on. However, these frameworks are not suitable for guiding a specific user to make a popular post because the attributes of this user are fixed. Therefore, previous frameworks can only answer the question whether a post is popular rather than how to become famous by popular posts. In this paper, we aim at predicting the popularity of a post for a specific user and mining the patterns behind the popularity. To this end, we first collect data from Instagram. We then design a method to figure out the user environment, representing the content that a specific user is very likely to post. Based on the relevant data, we devise a novel dual-attention model to incorporate image, caption, and user environment. The dual-attention model basically consists of two parts, explicit attention for image-caption pairs and implicit attention for user environment. A hierarchical structure is devised to concatenate the explicit attention part and implicit attention part. We conduct a series of experiments to validate the effectiveness of our model and investigate the factors that can influence the popularity. The classification results show that our model outperforms the baselines, and a statistical analysis identifies what kind of pictures or captions can help the user achieve a relatively high likes number.

Predicting popularity, or the total volume of information outbreaks, is an important subproblem for understanding collective behavior in networks. Each of the two main types of recent approaches to the problem, feature-driven and generative models, h ave desired qualities and clear limitations. This paper bridges the gap between these solutions with a new hybrid approach and a new performance benchmark. We model each social cascade with a marked Hawkes self-exciting point process, and estimate the content virality, memory decay, and user influence. We then learn a predictive layer for popularity prediction using a collection of cascade history. To our surprise, Hawkes process with a predictive overlay outperform recent feature-driven and generative approaches on existing tweet data [43] and a new public benchmark on news tweets. We also found that a basic set of user features and event time summary statistics performs competitively in both classification and regression tasks, and that adding point process information to the feature set further improves predictions. From these observations, we argue that future work on popularity prediction should compare across feature-driven and generative modeling approaches in both classification and regression tasks.
Predicting the popularity of online content is a fundamental problem in various application areas. One practical challenge for popularity prediction takes roots in the different settings of popularity prediction tasks in different situations, e.g., t he varying lengths of the observation time window or prediction horizon. In other words, a good model for popularity prediction is desired to handle various tasks with different settings. However, the conventional paradigm for popularity prediction is training a separate prediction model for each prediction task, and thus the obtained model for one task is difficult to be generalized to other tasks, causing a great waste of training time and computational resources. To solve this issue, in this paper, we propose a novel pre-training framework for popularity prediction, aiming to pre-train a general deep representation model by learning intrinsic knowledge about popularity dynamics from the readily available diffusion cascades. We design a novel pretext task for pre-training, i.e., temporal context prediction for two randomly sampled time slices of popularity dynamics, impelling the deep prediction model to effectively capture the characteristics of popularity dynamics. Taking the state-of-the-art deep model, i.e., temporal convolutional neural network, as an instantiation of our proposed framework, experimental results conducted on both Sina Weibo and Twitter datasets demonstrate both the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed pre-training framework for multiple popularity prediction tasks.
We analyze the role that popularity and novelty play in attracting the attention of users to dynamic websites. We do so by determining the performance of three different strategies that can be utilized to maximize attention. The first one prioritizes novelty while the second emphasizes popularity. A third strategy looks myopically into the future and prioritizes stories that are expected to generate the most clicks within the next few minutes. We show that the first two strategies should be selected on the basis of the rate of novelty decay, while the third strategy performs sub-optimally in most cases. We also demonstrate that the relative performance of the first two strategies as a function of the rate of novelty decay changes abruptly around a critical value, resembling a phase transition in the physical world. 1
Online Social Networks (OSNs) allow personalities and companies to communicate directly with the public, bypassing filters of traditional medias. As people rely on OSNs to stay up-to-date, the political debate has moved online too. We witness the sud den explosion of harsh political debates and the dissemination of rumours in OSNs. Identifying such behaviour requires a deep understanding on how people interact via OSNs during political debates. We present a preliminary study of interactions in a popular OSN, namely Instagram. We take Italy as a case study in the period before the 2019 European Elections. We observe the activity of top Italian Instagram profiles in different categories: politics, music, sport and show. We record their posts for more than two months, tracking likes and comments from users. Results suggest that profiles of politicians attract markedly different interactions than other categories. People tend to comment more, with longer comments, debating for longer time, with a large number of replies, most of which are not explicitly solicited. Moreover, comments tend to come from a small group of very active users. Finally, we witness substantial differences when comparing profiles of different parties.
This paper proposes a novel model for predicting subgraphs in dynamic graphs, an extension of traditional link prediction. This proposed end-to-end model learns a mapping from the subgraph structures in the current snapshot to the subgraph structures in the next snapshot directly, i.e., edge existence among multiple nodes in the subgraph. A new mechanism named cross-attention with a twin-tower module is designed to integrate node attribute information and topology information collaboratively for learning subgraph evolution. We compare our model with several state-of-the-art methods for subgraph prediction and subgraph pattern prediction in multiple real-world homogeneous and heterogeneous dynamic graphs, respectively. Experimental results demonstrate that our model outperforms other models in these two tasks, with a gain increase from 5.02% to 10.88%.
