Nowadays, the tremendous usage of multimedia data within Online Social Networks (OSNs) has led the born of a new generation of OSNs, called Multimedia Social Networks (MSNs). They represent particular social media networks – particularly interesting for Social Network Analysis (SNA) applications – that combine information on users, belonging to one or more social communities, together with all the multimedia contents that can be generated and used in the related environments. In this work, we present a novel expert finding technique exploiting a hypergraph-based data model for MSNs. In particular, some user ranking measures, obtained considering only particular useful hyperpaths, have been profitably used to evaluate the related expertness degree with respect to a given social topic. Several preliminary experiments on Last.fm show the effectiveness of the proposed approach, encouraging the future work in this direction.

Abstract
Nowadays, the tremendous usage of multimedia data within Online Social Networks (OSNs) has led the born of a new generation of OSNs, called Multimedia Social Networks (MSNs). They represent particular social media networks – particularly interesting for Social Network Analysis (SNA) applications – that combine information on users, belonging to one or more social communities, together with all the multimedia contents that can be generated and used in the related environments. In this work, we present a novel expert finding technique exploiting a hypergraph-based data model for MSNs. In particular, some user ranking measures, obtained considering only particular useful hyperpaths, have been profitably used to evaluate the related expertness degree with respect to a given social topic. Several preliminary experiments on Last.fm show the effectiveness of the proposed approach, encouraging the future work in this direction.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
