چکیده
Opinion leaders play an important role in influencing people’s opinions, actions and behaviors. Although a number of methods have been proposed in literature for identifying influentials using secondary sources of information, the true set of opinion leaders revealed through primary sources, such as surveys, is still favored in many domains. In this work, we present a new active learning method, which combines secondary data with partial knowledge from primary sources, to guide the primary information gathering process. We apply our proposed active surveying method to a dataset from the pharmaceutical domain, and show how we are able to efficiently obtain the true set of opinion leaders while minimizing the required acquisition of primary data.

متن کاملSurveying the effects of silver nanoparticle on thermal properties of some calyx [4]arene compounds by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC)
One of the best and the most active ways for surveying thermal behaviour of materials is using differential scanning calorimetry. In this paper, the authors have studied thermal behaviour for Schiff base ligand and their synthesized Cobalt, Nickel complexes. In this method, the sample is opposed to a controlled temperature change and its physical properties. Here we studied melting point and Tg...
متن کاملBayesian Optimal Active Search and Surveying
We consider two active binary-classification problems with atypical objectives. In the first, active search, our goal is to actively uncover as many members of a given class as possible. In the second, active surveying, our goal is to actively query points to ultimately predict the proportion of a given class. Numerous real-world problems can be framed in these terms, and in either case typical...
