A Model of Collaboration-based Reputation for the Social Web

ICWSM 2013: 7th International AAAI Conference on Weblogs and Social Media,Boston, USA, 8-10th July 2013In this paper we describe a generic approach to modeling user reputation in online social platforms based on an underlying model of collaboration. This distinguishes our approach from more conventional reputation models which are often based around ad-hoc activity metrics. We evaluate our model with respect to a conventional reputation model used by 3 social Q&A websites, each based on a different topical domain.Science Foundation IrelandInsight Research Centr
