<p><strong>Abstract</strong> (our paper)</p>
<p>Why does Smith follow Johnson on Twitter? In most cases, the reason why users follow other users is unavailable. In this work, we answer this question by proposing TagF, which analyzes the who-follows-whom network (matrix) and the who-tags-whom network (tensor) simultaneously. Concretely, our method decomposes a coupled tensor constructed from these matrix and tensor. The experimental results on million-scale Twitter networks show that TagF uncovers different, but explainable reasons why users follow other users.</p>
<p><strong>Data</strong></p>
<p>coupled_tensor:<br>
The first column is the source user id (from user id), the second column is the destination user id (to user id), and the third column is the tag id.</p>
<p>users.id:<br>
The first column is the user id for coupled_tensor, and the second column is the user id on Twitter.</p>
<p>tags.id:<br>
The first column is the tag id for coupled_tensor, and the second column is the tag (<em>i.e.</em> slug or list name) on Twitter. On the tags, ###follow### and ###friend### are special tags expressing follower and following.</p>
