In this paper, we study the problem of topic adoption prediction for an author within a social academic network. The previous efforts on the problem use topic similarity and topic adoption of co-authors. We model the problem with an influence detection point of view, and propose that the influence on the author is an important factor. Hence, we define a novel influencee prediction based feature. To this aim, in this work, an algorithm is proposed to calculate the influence propagated towards the author. The effect of this feature is explored together with and in comparison to other features used in the literature for the problem. The experiments conducted on Arnet Miner data set show that accumulated influence on author is effective for predicting topic adoption.

Predictions on academic research are thoroughly studied in the literature. In this thesis, we focus on two prediction problems in this domain. First we study the problem of topic adoption prediction for an author within a social academic network. We model the problem with an influence detection point of view, and propose that the influence on the author is an important factor. Hence, we define a novel influencee prediction based feature and developed an algorithm to calculate the influence propagated toward...
Planlamada Sosyal Bilimcinin Değişen Rolü: Toplumdan Biri Olmak
Ataöv, Anlı (Middle East Technical University, Faculty of Architecture, 2007)
In this paper, by reviewing urban planning paradigms since World War II, I demonstrate how the role of social scientists has changed in accordance with global trends, theoretical argumentation in planning and the relationship of research with practice. I do this in reference to three general planning approaches, including physical, rational, and participatory. Then, I display how social scientists can transform real life planning processes into a change process through scientific inquiry. Social scientists ...
A quantitative investigation of students' attitudes towards electronic book technology
Bulur, Hatice Gonca (SAGE Publications, 2020-09-01)
The purpose of this study is to analyse the factors that have an impact on technology adoption for e-books utilizing the Analytic Hierarchy Process and Multiple Regression Analysis methods. Findings indicate that perceived usefulness and ease of use are the most significant determinants in using e-books. Of key significance is that Analytic Hierarchy Process results show that consumers make pairwise comparisons, adding environmental concerns to the selection process. Recognizing the importance of all these ...

Salihoğlu, Yasemin; Bilgen, Semih; Department of Information Systems (2003)
This thesis analyzes factors motivating and inhibiting the adoption of information systems in enterprises in Gaziantep by a scale generated on Rogers̕ theory of diffusion of innovation. These factors are grouped into four as administrative, technological, environmental, and organizational characteristics in the scale built. Structured interview method was used while collecting the data. It was interviewed with 20 firms, operating in various sectors in Gaziantep. Results of the study showed that, within the ...
