  1. The label propagation assigns a confidence score 0 = (01,...,cm) to each node U 2 ul, ..., um, where the score is a real number between —1 and l. A score close to 1 indicates that we are very confident that the node (user) is a chronic critic.
    Page 4, “Introduction”
  2. Thus, by minimizing E(c), we assign the confidence scores considering the results of the opinion mining and agreement relationships among the users.
    Page 4, “Introduction”
  3. To avoid this problem, Yin and Tan (2011) introduced a neutral fact, which decreases each confidence score by considering the distance from the seeds.

  4. The neutral fact has a fixed confidence score 0 and connects with all of the nodes except the seeds.
