Abstract(in English) Recently, Twitter has become an efficient tool for product promotion. Thus, both how to measure the influence of individuals and to identify influential Twitter users have great research value. Most of previous researches about influential Twitter users identification have been concentrated on the following and/or friend relationships over user network without taking the factors of real information propagation into account. We believe influential users are those who spread information in the propagation and thus they are key figures in advertising for commercial companies. In this paper, we proposed a new method to identify influential Twitter users in some popular topics in Twitter based on retweet relationship. We use LDA to detect topics and then rank Twitter users in each topic.
