Abstract:Influence maximisation has been an area of active research in recent years. This study aims to extend the fundamental influence maximisation problem (IMP) with respect to a set of target users on a social network. It is important to aim at the target users to speed up the rate of information diffusion and reduce the information diffusion cost. In doing so, the MITU algorithm was formulated and compared with state of the art algorithms. Publicly available datasets were used in validating the proposed algorithm.… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
