Abstract

In some online Social Network Services, users are allowed to label their relationship with others, which can be represented as links with signed values. The link prediction problem is to estimate the values of unknown links by the information from the social network. A lot of similarity based metrics and machine learning based methods are proposed. Most of these methods are based on the network topological and node states. In this paper, by considering the information from user comment and sentiment lexicon, our methods improved the performances of link prediction for both similarity based metrics and machine learning based methods.
