Abstract
Events in a social network and their popularity are described by the quantitative participation of its users. A special occasion in an event is an activity that may hamper or strengthen its popularity or popularity of its entities. Such a study helps the researchers to analyze the trends to know how they change with time during an occasion. Till now popularity is computed by considering the number of tweets. To the best of our knowledge, no study has been done on computing the number of tweets considering the population. Here in this paper, we coin the following terms (a) true popularity, which is the number of tweets normalized with the population. Through this we compare intra-group popularity of entities, and (b) popularity bond, so as to study concentration of tweets for pairs of entities. Through this we compare the inter-group popularity of entities. Experiments are carried out on the content posted by users on Twitter during the Cricket World Cup 2015. Experimental study indicates the effectiveness of the coined terms in providing better insights.
