Abstract

In this paper, we propose an effective extraction method for acquiring the interests of users from Social Network Services (SNSs). In the proposed approach, a domain ontology generated by a decision tree is first used to classify domain webpages and each user. A Social Network Analysis (SNA) method is then used to analyze the tags from the Friend-Of-A-Friend (FOAF) profiles of each user; after which, we obtained the interests of the users. The results of an experiment conducted to obtain the interests of 2012 USA presidential candidates indicate that the precision and accuracy of our approach are 91.5 and 93.1 % in classifying the users, respectively.
