Abstract
A method and system are provided for collecting social media users who have a specific profile. The method includes retrieving a set of lists connected by at least one criterion to a particular list that is included in a set of reliable lists whose users have already been reliably deemed to have a specific profile. The method includes calculating a list name based confidence value and a list member based confidence value for each list in the retrieved set of lists. The method includes updating the set of reliable lists by adding all lists in the retrieved set of lists that have the list name based confidence value above a first threshold value and the list member based confidence value above a second threshold value. The method includes outputting a listing of users belonging to set of reliable lists as the social media users who have the specific profile.
