A Network-based Approach to Mining Competitor Relationships from Online News
نویسندگان
چکیده
Identifying competitors for an individual company or a group of companies is important for businesses. Although people can consult paid company profile resources such as Hoover’s and Mergent, these sources are incomplete in company relationship coverage. We present an approach that uses graph-theoretic measures and machine learning techniques to achieve automated discovery of competitor relationships on the basis of structure of an intercompany network derived from company citations (cooccurrence) in online news articles. We also estimate to what extent our approach could extend the competitor relationships available from the data sources, Hoover’s and Mergent.

متن کاملA centralized privacy-preserving framework for online social networks
There are some critical privacy concerns in the current online social networks (OSNs). Users' information is disclosed to different entities that they were not supposed to access. Furthermore, the notion of friendship is inadequate in OSNs since the degree of social relationships between users dynamically changes over the time. Additionally, users may define similar privacy settings for their f...
متن کاملMining Disjunctive Sequential Patterns from News Stream
Frequent disjunctive pattern is known to be a sophisticated method of text mining in a single document that satisfies anti-monotonicity, by which we can discuss efficient algorithm based on APRIORI. In this work, we propose a new online and single-pass algorithm by which we can extract current frequent disjunctive patterns by a weighting method for past events from a news stream. And we discuss...
