Abstract  

[Objective] This paper constructs a topic graph for Weibo users, aiming to identify the characteristics of user groups and opinion leaders. It also tries to guide online public opinion and reduce the surveillance costs.[Methods] First, we built a processing model for topic graph of Weibo users based on LDA. Then, we determined the optimal number and distribution of users’ topics with the index of perplexity. Third, we used JS divergence to measure the similarity of user topics, and constructed the topic graph. Finally, we took “Egypt air disaster” data to examine the proposed method.[Results] The topic graph generated by LDA clustered the user topics and identified the opinion leaders.[Limitations] More research is needed to determine the optimal number of LDA topics.[Conclusions] The proposed method could help us identify the characteristics of different topic groups and their opinion leaders.
