Multi-Objective Group Discovery on the Social Web

Abstract

We are interested in discovering user groups from collaborative rating datasets of the form $\langle i, u, s\rangle $ , where $i \in \mathcal{I}$ , $u \in \mathcal{U}$ , and s is the integer rating that user u has assigned to item i . Each user has a set of attributes that help find labeled groups such as young computer scientists in France and American female designers . We formalize the problem of finding user groups whose quality is optimized in multiple dimensions and show that it is NP-Complete. We develop $\alpha $ - MOMRI , an $\alpha $ -approximation algorithm, and h - MOMRI , a heuristic-based algorithm, for multi-objective optimization to find high quality groups. Our extensive experiments on real datasets from the social Web examine the performance of our algorithms and report cases where $\alpha $ - MOMRI and h - MOMRI are useful.
