Abstract

Nowadays hashtags are an important mechanism of semantic navigation in social media. In the current research we considered the problem of building associative series of hashtags for Instagram. These series should meet two criteria: they should be relatively short and should not have wide semantic gaps between sequential hashtags. A generator of such series could be used for creating recommendations for increasing the quantity of hashtags in messages.

We gathered information from approximately 15 million messages from Instagram and built a co-occurrence network for hashtags from these messages. To build associative series we defined a formal definition of the semantic path building problem as a multicriteria optimization problem on the co-occurrence network.

We developed a combined optimization function for both criteria from the semantic path building problem. For measuring semantic similarity between hashtags, we use a metric based on vector embedding of hashtags by word2vec algorithm. Using empirical paths built by different algorithms, we graduated the parameters of the combined optimization function. The function with these parameters could be used in Dijkstra’s algorithm and in a specialized greedy algorithm for building semantic paths which look as appropriate associative series.
