Abstract

This thesis deals with the problem of constructing social networks with topic modeling. To be more specific, it describes how we identify the local communities where people share same interests as well as link this groups together to construct social networks. These problems will be addressed in the course of discussion, and corresponding practical solutions will be provided. I will present the system which fully implements the ideas I propose, in order to achieve the goal. i Acknowledgements I would like to offer my sincerest gratitude to my supervisor, Michael Fourman for his continuous support and encouragement throughout this project. He spent hours discussing with me about the project for both theoretical and practical issues, and ever refused to devote this precious time and intelligence to answering kinds of questions. A special thanks goes to my friend Theodosia Togia, who guide me through my first steps in writing the dissertation and alway there when I need someone to talk to. Many thanks to my friends Cheng Cheng and Ran Cheng for the encouragement they offered to me. I also want to express my thanks to my girlfriend who always comforted me
