Abstract

In microblogging, user interaction is the main factor that promotes the information diffusion rapidly. According to the user interaction in the process of information diffusion, this paper proposes a directed tree model based on user interaction that considering the history, type and frequency of interaction. User interaction matrix was used to describe the interactions between pairs of users. A directed diffusion tree was generated from the sparsification of interaction graph. The edges of directed diffusion tree were used to measure the information influence and identify the spam in microblogging. Experimental results show that the directed tree model can describe the information diffusion, measure the influence more accurately and identify the spam in the dataset more effectively.
