Abstract

We address the problem of maximizing user engagement with content (in the form of like, reply, retweet, and retweet with comments)on the Twitter platform. We formulate the engagement forecasting task as a multi-label classification problem that captures choice behavior on an unsupervised clustering of tweet-topics. We propose a neural network architecture that incorporates user engagement history and predicts choice conditional on this context. We study the impact of recommend-ing tweets on engagement outcomes by solving an appropriately defined sweet optimization problem based on the proposed model using a large dataset obtained from Twitter.
