User-Aware Folk Popularity Rank: User-Popularity-Based Tag Recommendation That Can Enhance Social Popularity
share
In this paper we propose a method that can enhance the social popularity of a post (i.e., the number of views or likes) by recommending appropriate hash tags considering both content popularity and user popularity. A previous approach called FolkPopularityRank (FP-Rank) considered only the relationship among images, tags, and their popularity. However, the popularity of an image/video is strongly affected by who uploaded it. Therefore, we develop an algorithm that can incorporate user popularity and users' tag usage tendency into the FP-Rank algorithm. The experimental results using 60,000 training images with their accompanying tags and 1,000 test data, which were actually uploaded to a real social network service (SNS), show that, in ten days, our proposed algorithm can achieve 1.2 times more views than the FP-Rank algorithm. This technology would be critical to individual users and companies/brands who want to promote themselves in SNSs.
