Feature Driven and Point Process Approaches for Popularity Prediction

Code and Data for CIKM Paper Feature Driven and Point Process Approaches for Popularity Prediction

We also provide a tutorial for using hawkes process to model real cascades

Steps covered are as follows:

• Plotting Memory function for the Social Kernel
• Simmulating events from a Marked Hawkes Process
• Modeling a retweet cascade with marked Hawkes Process
• Using the model to make predictions of final size

All this is illustrated with the notebook file provided along with the rscripts.
