ABSTRACT
Since the advent of Web 2.0, Online Social Networks (OSNs) represent a rich opportunity for researchers to collect real user data and to explore OSNs user behaviour. Based on the current challenges and future directions proposed in literature, we aim to investigate how to comprehensively model OSNs user behaviours, by exploiting and combining user data of different nature. We propose to use hypergraphs as a model to easily analyse and combine structural, semantic, and activity-related user information, and to study their evolution over time. This novel user behaviour modelling technique will converge in open, efficient, and scalable libraries, which will be integrated into a modular framework able to handle the data crawling process from several OSNs.
