Abstract

The present disclosure provides a method, an apparatus, and a computing device for determining dissemination heat degree of information. The method for determining dissemination heat degree of information includes analyzing N levels of sharing data of specific network information to determine parameters related to each sharing level of the specific network information, where N is a natural number greater than 1; and calculating a dissemination heat degree S of the specific network information based on the parameters related to the sharing of the specific network information. The dissemination heat degree obtained according to the disclosed method, apparatus, and computing device can be used to predict the popular level of the specific network information during the subsequent dissemination process.

the specific network information is disseminated during the N levels of sharing of the specific network information;

based on the parameters related to each sharing level of the specific network information, calculating, by the processor, a dissemination heat degree S of the specific network information;

predicting, by the processor, a sharing level of the specific network information for a subsequent information dissemination process associated with the network based on the dissemination heat degree S of the specific network information; and

facilitating, by the processor, the subsequent information dissemination process that further distributes the specific network information via the network based on the predicted sharing level of the specific network information.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein:

a j th level of the sharing data includes a sharing time average T j and a sharing number P i , where j=1, . . . , N, and
