REFINED EXPERIENCE TOPIC-AWARE TRUST IN SOCIAL NETWORKS

Abstract

Trust estimation among peers in social computing is usually interpreted as a function of parameters with interaction experience and some context. In this paper, we model the interaction among peers in factors: familiarity, common interests and degrees of feedbacks. Then we represent the experience topic-aware trust whose computation is based on these factors and the context of topic interests. The proposed computational model is considered as a refinement of our previous interaction based trust computation.
