  • Method performed in a computer system for aiding the assessment of an influence of a user in or interacting with a communication system by applying social network analysis, SNA, functions, a computer system, computer program and computer program product
    Patent number: 8788438
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method performed in a computer system for aiding the assessment of an influence of a user in or interacting with a communication system by applying social network analysis, SNA, functions. The method comprises: obtaining two or more SNA metrics for each user of a first number of users, each SNA metric being determined by a respective SNA function; calculating a weight parameter for each one of the SNA metrics using a machine learning method, the weight parameters indicating a combination of the SNA metrics for use in the assessment of the influence of the user; and applying the estimated weight parameters to SNA metrics of a second number of users to assess a ranking in accordance with influence of users in the second number of users. The invention also relates to a computer system, computer programs, and computer program products.
