A comparative study of two models for celebrity identification on Twitter

چکیده
The concept of celebrities has shaped societies throughout history. This work addresses the problem of celebrity identification from social media interactions. “Celebritiness” is a characteristic assigned to persons that are initially based on specific achievements or lineage. However, celebritiness often transcends achievements and gets attached to the person itself, causing them to capture popular imagination and create a public image that is bigger than life. The celebrity identification problem is argued to be distinct from similar problems of identifying influencers or of identification of experts. We develop two models for celebrity identification. In this paper, we compare the two models on twitter data and highlight the characteristics of each of the models.
