Abstract

In this paper, we proposed an agent-based model for analyzing dynamic social network associated to textual information using author-topic model, namely Textual-ABM. Author-topic model is chosen to estimate topic’s distribution transformation of agents in the agent-based model since it models the content of documents and also interests of authors. Textual-ABM can be utilized to discover dynamic of a social network which includes not only network structure but also node’s properties over time. Furthermore, we introduced independent cascade model based on homophily, namely H-IC. The infected probability associated with each edge is homophily or similarity which measured based on topic’s distribution. We have applied our methodology to a collected data set from NIPS and have obtained satisfactory results.
