Abstract:
We present domain-based latent personal analysis (LPA) for finding domain-based attributes for the entities in it, a measure of their distance from the domain, and their signature, which identifies the most significant ways in which they differ from the domain. This method identifies for each entity the elements whose Shannon information differs most from that of their counterparts in the domain. We then demonstrate LPA uses in a variety of areas, including impersonation detection in social media, the spectral spread of sub repertoires of clonal B- cell populations within a person, and digital humanities.
