Mining social influence in science and vice-versa: A topic correlation approach

作者:

Highlights:

• A method for extracting topics from heterogeneous data from different sources and domains is proposed.

• Topic Similarity is addressed for comparison of topics from different backgrounds.

• Social influence in science is detected with topics from both domains.

• The proposed methods and metrics are independent from text idiom.

• Evaluation is made in the scenario of a disease outbreak, with results suggesting a cross-domain relationship.
