ABSTRACT The amount and variety of social media content such as status, images, movies, and music are increasing rapidly Accordingly, the social curation service is emerging as a new way to connect, select, and organize information on a massive scale One noticeable feature of social curation services is that they are loosely supervised: the content that users create in the service is manually collected, selected, and maintained A large proportion of these contents are arbitrarily created by inexperienced users In this thesis, we look into social curation, particularly, the Storify website This is the most popular social curation for creating stories included in various domains such as Twitter, Flicker, and YouTube We implemented a machine learning method with feature extraction to filter these contents and to predict the popularity of social curation data Publication: Binh Thanh Kieu, Son Bao Pham and Ryutaro Ichise Predicting the Popularity of Social Curation In Proceedings of

Literature review developed a coarse multi-class classifier-based approach to determine whether given Twitter hashtags are retweeted x ≤ (0; 100; 10000; ∞) times (Hong et al., 2011) Similarly, Lakkaraju and Ajmera used support vector machines (SVMs) to predict whether a given content falls into a group that attracts x ≤ (10%; 25%; 50%; 75%; 100%) of the attention in a system (Lakkaraju and Ajmera, 2011), while Jamali and Rangwala predicted the popularity of content by using an entropy measure (Jamali and Rangwala, 2009) Finally, Szabo and Huberman presented a linear regression model based on the number of views (Szabo and Huberman, 2010); this method was applied to build predictive popularity by applying regression to different feature spaces (Bandari et al., 2012) (Hogg and Lerman, 2012) (Lerman and Hogg, 2010) (Tsagkias et al., 2010) In this work, the popularity of Social Curation is shown by the number of views that the content will receive in the near future We propose three groups for categorizing the popularity level of Social Curation We build a predictor based on a machine learning method, SVM, with feature selection to classify into these groups LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com Chapter Predicting the Popularity of Social Curation 3.1 3.1.1 Problem Formulation Regression Formally, we predict view count yi of content i from information of the content xi This is a typical regression problem: i.e we try to minimize the error between the predicted view count yˆi and the true view count yi by modifying an unknown parameter w that governs the regression function yˆi = f (xi; w) Given content and social curation lists, we extract several features xi and predicted a view count for each content Social curation lists contain many kinds of information that are useful for predicting view counts 3.1.2 Classification Similar to normal content, the popularity of social curation is defined by the number of users’ view We predict how much view which stories will receive in the near future However, it is difficult to predict exact amount of attention and people are almost interested in the popularity of content; thus, instead of predicting exactly the number, we cast the task as a multi-class classification problem that predicts the popularity that a curation list will receive after three months based on the number of views Although our system cannot predict exactly the number of attention, but this 13 LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com 14 Chapter Predicting the Popularity of Social Curation system partly helps users to be able to identify popular contents and not popular contents We divide the number of views into three different classes: class – not popular, with the number of views less than 10, class – less popular, with the number of views between 10 and 1000, class – very popular, with the number of views more than 1000 We used an SVM to classify these classes LibSVM (Chang and Lin, 2011) with a radial basic function (RBF) kernel and default parameters, and the feature selection tool (wei Chen, 2005) were used to optimize the result We extracted three types of features, namely curation features, curator features and text features Curator features are features of users who collect and organize elements from some domains and create curation lists Curation features are features related to the content of the curation lists Text features cover all content text of curation lists 3.2 Feature Extraction Social curation lists contain many kinds of information that are useful for classifying For example, if the curation list includes many Twitter contents, the view count of the contents is expected to increase; or, if elements match the context of the curation list, the content will attract much more attention In this study, as the social curation list included a large number of Twitter messages, we used applicable features for predicting the number of retweets and microblogging popularity We divided the features into the two distinct sets mentioned above: curator features (which are related to the author of the story), curation features (which encompass various statistics of the content in the story) and text features 3.2.1 Curator features The following are the five curator features: (i) The number of users who follow the curator of the content LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com 3.2 Feature Extraction 15 (ii) The number of users who the curator of the content follows (iii) The number of stories written by the curator (iv) The user’s language (English or not) (v) When the curator of the content started using Storify These features were selected from the content creator features proposed by Ishiguro et al (Ishiguro et al., 2012) We implemented these features as our baseline system The number of followers and friends has been consistently shown to be a good indicator of retweetability, whereas the number of stories has not been found to have a significant impact (Suh et al., 2010) Our prior analysis also showed that stories written in English are more likely to be viewed, so we used a binary feature indicating if the user’s language is English The date when a curator started using Storify shows their experience Normally, longtime users have more experience producing more popular curator stories than new users We are not aware of any prior work that analyzes the effect of language or date on content popularity 3.2.2 Curation features The following are the seven curation features: (i) The number of hashtags (ii) The number of versions (iii) The number of embeds (iv) The story’s language (English or not) (v) The number of popular tweet elements/total elements (the number of retweets greater than 100) (vi) The number of popular image and video elements/total elements (the number of image views and video views greater than 1000) (vii) The total number of elements LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com 16 Chapter Predicting the Popularity of Social Curation As a large proportion of elements in the curation list is from the Twitter domain, hashtags therefore play an important feature for predicting the popularity One paper showed that hashtags, URLs and mentions have a high correlation with predicting popular Twitter messages (Suh et al., 2010) Although the Storify API provides hashtags, URLs and mentions of each story, URLs and mentions have an insignificant impact on the result The version feature shows that users who modified their story can improve the story’s quality and get more attention The embed feature shows that more sharing is more popular The English language is the most well-known language in the world, so stories written in English are read by more people than those in any other language Although the feature is quite similar to the feature of the language of the curator, not all curators use their main language to write stories According to our experiments, tests using this feature achieved higher results Finally, the higher proportion of Twitter elements and media elements also increase the accuracy Moreover, using many elements in a story draws more attention than stories with fewer elements 3.2.3 Text features Text messages can directly represent the intentions, opinions, or emotions of content creators and curators Thus, carefully designed text features would be useful in predicting responses to content Our assumption is that if the topics or contexts of the list and the comments attached to content match well, then the content will attract much attention and gain view counts Our text features are computed as follows First, we extract three parts of texts that are found in Storify curation lists, and compute a Bag-of-Words (BoW) histogram from each part The first part is the title and description of the curation list This part is edited directly by curators; so we expect this part concisely describes the entire context of the list The second part is all texts of the curated contents in the list: tweets, facebook, youtube The BoW histogram of this part is a direct summarization of the curation list The third part is all comments for curation lists The histogram of this part encompasses the responses of SNS users with regard to the content From these BoW histograms, we compute three cosine distances based on our assumption (i) Distances between the first and the second BoWs LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com 3.2 Feature Extraction 17 (ii) Distances between the first and the third BoWs (iii) Distances between the second and the third BoWs Feature i) computes text context similarities between the title, description and the text in the list In other words this feature is a measure of the similarity between curators intention and the actual context of the list Feature ii) computes text context similarities between the title, description and the responses to the focused content Namely this feature is a measure of the similarity between curators intention and observed responses to the content in SNSs Feature iii) computes text context similarities between the tweets in the list and the responses to the content In other words, this feature is a measure of the similarity between the actual context of the list and observed responses to the content Also, we compute binarized versions of three BoWs We binaraize the BoW histograms by thresholding in order to absorb the difference in lengths and numbers of tweets among the curation lists We compute three cosine distances for these binarized BoWs in the same manner Thus, we finally obtain six text features 3.2.4 Regression and classification model To the best of our knowledge, no prior work analyzed the effect of these features on content popularity Therefore, the features we proposed are based on the experiments and feature selection tool to acquire the highest result The feature selection tool, combined with libSVM, uses the F-score for selecting features (wei Chen, 2005) The F-score is a simple technique that measures the discrimination of two sets of real numbers The larger the F-score is, the more likely this feature is more discriminative Therefore, this score is used as a feature selection criterion Moreover, libSVM also provides a feature scaling function in order to absorb the scale differences among feature values, then we re-scaled them between [0,1] Finally, these above features had the highest result for predicting the popularity of Storify data Support Vector Regression (SVR) is known for its powerful regression performances, and is used as one of the standard regression models We employ SVR as the regression function and also use SVM for classification model As the kernel function, we choose the standard RBF kernel We experimentally optimized the soft LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com 18 Chapter Predicting the Popularity of Social Curation margin parameter and the kernel parameter Other parameters were set to default values LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com Chapter Experimental Results 4.1 The Experimental Dataset We used Storify’s streaming API to collect a random sample of public stories created from March 1, 2013 to March 31, 2013 with 34,810 curation lists We suppose that these stories have the same published time We crawled them in June 2013 so we predict how much attention of these contents in the three months later Finally, we divided this dataset into 10 groups and ran 10 cross validations 4.2 4.2.1 Results Regression The distribution of view counts is skewed: the minimum view count is 0, while the maximum count is 1,389,705 Therefore, we used the logarithm of view counts in the experiment This yielded the average and the variance of the log view counts of 4.4589 and 3.1035, respectively The result is shown in Table 4.1 4.2.2 Classification The different popular levels are displayed followed by the three classes, as mentioned in Section 4.1 Statistically, nearly half of the stories are class 1, nearly 20% are class 2, and the remaining are class The prediction accuracy for the two types of features are shown in Table 4.2 The result of curation features (7 features) is the worst at 75.08%, curator features (5 features) at 80.02%, and the best result is 19 LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com 20 Chapter Experimental Results Table 4.1: Mean Square Errors (MSE) of view count regression by SVR Type of feature No of

Curation + Text + Curator 18 76.42% combined features (combined between curator and curation features for a total of 12 features) at 82.62% Therefore, both types of features are necessary for prediction with high accuracy Table 4.3 shows more detailed results for the 10 tests The curator features (as baseline features) and combined features (curation and curator) show different results Most tests using combined features are more accurate than tests using only curator features except for test We analyzed test and realized that the percentage of class is approximately 40%, which is double the normal percentage It is shown that combined features cannot perform well for class In addition, most tests using combined features attain roughly 83% accuracy except some tests such as tests 6, (lower accuracy barely over 70%) and tests 8, 10 (high accuracy over 90%) Although the distribution ratio of classes in these tests is quite different from the others, the difference is irregular and not significant This is an open problem in our research; finding the answer for this question would improve the result LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com 4.2

87.60% 89.83% 68.44% 70.38% 88.78% 93.22% T-test Evaluation The (student’s) t-test is a statistical examination of two population means In simple terms, the t-test assesses whether the means of two groups are statistically different from each other It is commonly used when the variances of two normal distributions are unknown and when an experiment uses a small sample size In our case, we used the t-test to evaluate two group results of the above 10 tests (small sample size) The decision rule is a 95% confidence interval of the difference from −3.8929 to −1.1271 and we calculate our value t = −4.1059 Therefore, we conclude that this difference is considered to be very significant It indicates that our proposal to use both features is effective to predict the popularity of social curation data LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com Chapter Conclusion In this paper, we presented a method to predict the popularity of social curation content as the first step for mining social curation A key insight is that a curation list, which is unique compared to other social data, is the manual collection, selection, and maintenance by curators We used a machine learning approach and selected key features Analyzing the features, we found that social features (curator features) perform very well, but the system can be improved by combining the content features (curation features) A comparison by the t-test showed the significance However, the paper investigated only a specific curation dataset for a specific task We are aware that there are many open problems We have to investigate social features in a larger dataset or other domains In addition, analyzing and explaining the effect of features for predicting the popularity of social curation could improve the result Finally, our research is the first task for mining social curation data Based on this research, we could consider future tasks such as an automatic system or a recommendation system for curating social data 22 LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com Bibliography Mohamed Ahmed, Stella Spagna, Felipe Huici, and Saverio Niccolini A peek into the future: Predicting
