Online Social Network Profile Linkage Based on Cost-Sensitive Feature Acquisition

Billions of people spend their virtual life time on hundreds of social networking sites for different social needs. Each social footprint of a person in a particular social networking site reflects some special aspects of himself. To adequately investigate a user’s preference for applications such as recommendation and executive search, we need to connect up all these aspects to generate a comprehensive profile of the identity. Profile linkage provides an effective solution to identify the same identity’s profiles from different social networks.
