“…al [90] used regression model with lexical diversities in tweets, average number of characters used in tweets, hashtags, user mentions, URLs, followees, positive and negative sentiments to extract influential users from Twitter. Exponential of number of followers was used in [104] to find the popular users from Twitter. Users were ranked using both tweet-based and user-based scores by Francalanci et.…”

“…This algorithm differs from the others in that it is based on multigraphs (i.e., graphs with multiple edges between two nodes), whose nodes are the users, and the edges are based on followers, retweets and mentions among users. An additional topical-sensitive measure is the Competency [2], which ranks the actors according to his ability to post relevant tweets according to hot topics. The topical detection is given by a Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) algorithm, and the topical relevance of each tweet is determined by a Divergence From Randomness retrieval model.…”

“…Most social networks are scale-free networks [24]. A scale-free network is a network whose degree distribution follows a power law, so the number of nodes in the network that have k connections, denoted P(k), goes for large values of k as P(k) = k −γ , where γ is a constant number (2 < γ < 3) [25]. Hence, in the social network, a popularity measure of a user can be calculated based on the number of in-links of the users as follows [25]:…”
