Cross-Platform User Profile Matching in Online Social Networks

Article Preview

Abstract:

Nowadays, it is common that people have several identities in different online social networks where their identities information is stored as user profiles. Matching cross-platform user profiles becomes a spotlight in the future research. In the paper, we propose a profile matching framework. Depending on the format of each field, different string similarity measures are adopted. Meanwhile, each fields importance is considered. At last, we evaluate the effectiveness of our proposed methods by experiments.
