The study of extremist groups and their interaction is a crucial task in order to maintain homeland security and peace. Tools such as social networks analysis and text mining have contributed to their understanding in order to develop counter-terrorism applications. This work addresses the topic-based community key-members extraction problem, for which our method combines both text mining and social network analysis techniques. This is achieved by first applying latent Dirichlet allocation to build two topic-based social networks in online forums: one social network oriented towards the thread creator point-of-view, and the other is oriented towards the repliers of the overall forum. Then, by using different network analysis measures, topic-based key members are evaluated using as benchmark a social network built a plain representation of the network of posts. Experiments were successfully performed using an English language based forum available in the Dark Web portal.
