Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Social media provide platforms to express, discuss, and shape opinions about events and issues in the real world. |
| Approach: | They propose to use factorization machines to model user preferences toward topics from social media data to predict whether a given text/user is in favor (agree), against (disagreer), or neutral toward a target topic. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method can predict stances of silent users based on their stance toward other topics and the social media posts of the user. |
