Abstract

Nowadays, many users create information related to user-generated content (UGC) such as that for social network services (SNSs). They create communities based on their hobbies and interests. Then they readily exchange that information mutually in the UGC. They know the information of the community deeply and the information tends to become rare information. Therefore, much information that is not written in the general Web content is buried in the UGC. We designate that buried information as "hidden information." Our proposed "hidden information" definition is "specific information for the community and important information for general users." As described in this paper, we propose a means to extract "hidden information."
