A User Identification Algorithm Based on User Behavior Analysis in Social Networks

Abstract

The precision of the conventional user identification algorithm is not satisfactory because it ignores the role of user-generated data in identity matching. In this paper, we propose a frequent pattern mining-based cross-social network user identification algorithm that analyzes user-generated data in a personalized manner. We adopt the posterior probability-based information entropy weight allocation method that improves the precision rate and recall rate compared to the empirical weight allocation method. The extensive simulations are provided to demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can enhance the precision rate, recall rate, as well as the F-Measure (F1).
