INTRODUCTION
Web 2.0 facilitates for individuals to easily generate contents. Blogs and online personal diaries are increasingly popular form of online user-generated contents (UGC).
That increasing volume of data need to be analysed and mined to benefit from it.
AIM
Analysing this unstructured and free-form text is important and useful in various applications including mood classification, identifying the identify and style of the author, detecting groups, suggesting friends, and targeting specific audiences (e.g. Marketing).
Building “User Profile” and “Group Profile”
User Profile: Using text analysis and Psycholinguistic categories to capture the writing style and patterns of each blogger.
Group Profile: Cluster bloggers together, based on their “User Profiles” to form groups of similar bloggers.
“Group Profile” Analysis
Automatic Semantic analysis and Psycholinguistic interpretation of commonality within detected groups (only from their written text).
Two-Layer Grouping and Authorship Identification
To an identify the author of a (anonymous) blog post, the system utilises the “Group Profiles” and “User Profiles”, respectively. First, the post is assigned to the relevant group (in Group Layer). Then, the post is attributed to a specific Author of that group (in the Author Layer).
