Abstract:

[Objective] Influence prediction, as an important content of social network analysis, has important social value and practical significance in many fields such as public opinion monitoring, online marketing, intelligence analysis, personalized recommendation, advertisement positioning, and communication prediction. Early influence prediction methods based on feature engineering established the relationship between different features and popularity by extracting and constructing key features. This paper focuses on the multi-class features related to social network influence, and conducts research and review from the aspects of multi-class feature extraction, prediction model construction, and prediction evaluation methods, aiming to comprehensively analyze the existing research methods, and provide reference for improving the accuracy of social network influence prediction. [Methods] Based on the current widely adopted deep learning methods, this paper summarizes and elaborates on the visual, textual, emotional, temporal, and user features of social networks by reviewing the literature, and analyzes the current research status and limitations of the influence prediction methods of social networks based on multi-class features. [Conclusions] With the development of deep learning theory, breakthrough progress has been made in deep feature extraction and prediction model construction, but at present, in terms of social network influence prediction, feature combination prediction methods based on multi-class features are still insufficient, and it is necessary to study more effective feature pre-extraction models to improve social network influence prediction accuracy.
