On the Feasibility of Predicting News Popularity at Cold Start
نویسندگان
چکیده
We perform a study on cold-start news popularity prediction using a collection of 13,319 news articles obtained from Yahoo News. We characterise the online popularity of news articles by two different metrics and try to predict them using machine learning techniques. Contrary to a prior work on the same topic, our findings indicate that predicting the news popularity at cold start is a difficult task and the previously published results may be superficial.

Numerical investigation on Effect of thermally isolated piston on improving SI engine performance during the cold start conditions
In low ambient temperatures the engine will have poor output torque and power generation at the first cycles of its performance, long start time and huge noxious emissions because of insufficient temperature and quality of air-fuel mixture and failure of flame to burn the charge. It is noted that any attempt to increase the charge temperature leads to better combustion conditions. By applying t...

In this work, we tackle the problem of predicting entity popularity on Twitter based on the news cycle. We apply a supervised learning approach and extract four types of features: (i) signal, (ii) textual, (iii) sentiment and (iv) semantic, which we use to predict whether the popularity of a given entity will be high or low in the following hours. We run several experiments on six different ent...

In absence of individual user information, knowledge about larger user groups (e.g., country characteristics) can be exploited for deriving user preferences in order to provide recommendations to users. In this short paper, we study how to mitigate the cold-start problem on a country level for music retrieval. Specifically, we investigate a large-scale dataset on user listening behavior and sho...

Twitter is not only a social network, but also an increasingly important newsmedia. In Twitter, retweeting is the most important information propagation mechanism, and supernodes (news medias) that have many followers are the most important information sources. Therefore, it is important to understand the news retweet propagation from supernodes and predict news popularity quickly at the very f...

Cold start is one of the main challenges in recommender systems. Solving sparsechallenge of cold start users is hard. More cold start users and items are new. Sine many general methods for recommender systems has over fittingon cold start users and items, so recommendation to new users and items is important and hard duty. In this work to overcome sparse problem, we present a new method for rec...
