Fast Learning of Graph Structure for Anomalous Pattern Detection
Team Members
Introduction
Online forums have been used to create topic-topic, user-user, and user-topic graphs. These graphs have been used for such tasks as recommendation systems, investigating knowledge propagation, and identifying influence. In this work we plan to use data from a forum dedicating to studying the Spanish language to to identify salient topics among learners of Spanish and to track influence among the users of the forum.
