Abstract :
Online Social Networks (OSNs) provide platform to raise opinions on various issues, create and spread news rapidly in Online Social Network Forums (OSNFs). This work proposes a novel method for Profiling Forum Users (PFU) by exploring their behavioral characteristics based on their involvement in various topics of discussion and number of posts in respective topics posted by them in OSNFs dynamically. Modeling the proposed method mathematically, the PFU algorithm is illustrated for its adequacy and accuracy.
