چکیده

Online social networks have attracted millions of users to integrate their daily life into these social media. As an important e-activity, the Friend Recommendation System (FRS) has been designed to help the users exploring new friends with common interests. However, most existing FRS are using simple methods, such as mutual friends, location-based information etc. This paper proposes a hybrid technique utilizing Support Vector Machine (SVM), recommending people in social networks based on users' attributes. With the case study from Tencent Weibo, the proposed method has improved the accuracy of recommendation comparing with two classic algorithms, Naive Bayes and Random Forests. Furthermore, considering nine attributes in FRS, we identified that the acceptance of followers is the most important factor to influence the users decision.
