Abstract

The social platform Twitter is one of the most famous world microblogs. Monthly, it hosts hundreds of millions of visitors who publisha large amount of data that is consumed by others. Some of these publications help to others to generate knowledge. Users who generate content in a particular area, helping people to increase their knowledge, are classified as authorities in that field. This content could be exploited by students to improve their academic performance. In this paper, we present a system to identify and recommend authorities in a particular area based on machine learning, supervised and unsupervised techniques. To verify accuracy and our model, we developed several tests within a particular topic. The results show that the system can identify authorities with an average accuracy of [78.82 ±2.51] %, representing a high degree of confidence.
