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.
