### Follow relationships as a bipartite graph
Follow relationships on Twitter are perhaps most naturally thought of as directed graph, where each node is a user and each edge represents a Follow. Edges are directed in that User 1 can follow User 2, User 2 can follow User 1 or both User 1 and User 2 can follow each other.

### Community Detection - Known For
The bipartite follow graph can be used to identify groups of Producers who have similar followers, or who are "Known For" a topic. Specifically, the bipartite follow graph can also be represented as an *m x n* matrix (*A*), where consumers are presented as *u* and producers are represented as *v*.
Producer-producer similarity is computed as the cosine similarity between users who follow each producer. The resulting cosine similarity values can be used to construct a producer-producer similarity graph, where the nodes are producers and edges are weighted by the corresponding cosine similarity value. Noise removal is performed, such that edges with weights below a specified threshold are deleted from the graph.

Noise removal is performed, such that edges with weights below a specified threshold are deleted from the graph.
After noise removal has been completed, Metropolis-Hastings sampling-based community detection is then run on the Producer-Producer similarity graph to identify a community affiliation for each producer. This algorithm takes in a parameter *k* for the number of communities to be detected.

In this toy example, consumer 1 is interested in community 1 only, whereas consumer 3 is interested in all three communities. There is also a noise removal step applied to the Interested In matrix.
We use the InterestedIn embeddings to capture consumer's long-term interest. The InterestedIn embeddings is one of our major source for consumer-based tweet recommendations.

### Producer Embeddings
When computing the Known For matrix, each producer can only be Known For a single community. Although this maximally sparse matrix is useful from a computational perspective, we know that our users tweet about many different topics and may be "Known" in many different communities. Producer embeddings ( *Ṽ* ) are used to capture this richer structure of the graph.

Tweet embeddings are critical for our tweet recommendation tasks. We can calculate tweet similarity and recommend similar tweets to users based on their tweet engagement history.

#### Topic embeddings
Topic embeddings (**R**) are determined by taking the cosine similarity between consumers who are interested in a community and the number of aggregated favorites each consumer has taken on a tweet that has a topic annotation (with some time decay).
