User characterization for online social networks

User characterization for online social networks Online social network analysis has attracted great attention with a vast number of users sharing information and availability of APIs that help to crawl online social network data. In this paper, we study the research studies that are helpful for user characterization as online users may not always reveal their true identity or attributes. We especially focused on user attribute determination such as gender and age; user behavior analysis such as motives for deception; mental models that are indicators of user behavior; user categorization such as bots versus humans; and entity matching on different social networks. We believe our summary of analysis of user characterization will provide important insights into researchers and better services to online users. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Social Network Analysis and Mining Springer Journals

Abstract

Online social network analysis has attracted great attention with a vast number of users sharing information and availability of APIs that help to crawl online social network data. In this paper, we study the research studies that are helpful for user characterization as online users may not always reveal their true identity or attributes. We especially focused on user attribute determination such as gender and age; user behavior analysis such as motives for deception; mental models that are indicators of user behavior; user categorization such as bots versus humans; and entity matching on different social networks. We believe our summary of analysis of user characterization will provide important insights into researchers and better services to online users.
