Abstract(in English) Identifying influencers on social media who can spread information to many other users is one of the important research issues. We have investigated how accurately influencers can be predicted when the source and target domains of learning are different. However, our previous studies focused on whether the user is an influencer or not. On the other hand, there are differences in the strength of influence among influencers. The influence of the influencers identified by the prediction model has not been evaluated. Therefore, in this paper, we formulate the influencer identification problem as a ranking problem. In particular, we evaluate the effectiveness of influencer rankings obtained from the influencer prediction models when the source and target domains of learning are different. The results show that influencer prediction model based on graph neural network is effective in identifying non-obvious influencers, such as influencers with not many followers but large influence.
