abstract = "The paper focuses on web data mining to solve a
problem of estimation of the authoritativeness measure
of social web users, particularly contributors to a
discourse content of social web discussions. Two
methods from machine learning domain were used -
regression analysis and genetic programming. Our aim
was to find an approximation of the dependency of the
authoritativeness value on variables representing
parameters of the structure of discourse content. The
approximation function can be used for computation of
the authoritativeness value of a given user as well as
for discrimination of authoritative from
non-authoritative contributors to web discussions. This
information is important for web users, who search for
truthful and reliable information in the process of
decision making about important things since the web
users would like to be influenced by some credible
professionals.",
