社交媒体热度预测旨在基于早期观测数据预判网络内容的未来传播范围或影响力。准确预测可支持广告优化与内容策略制定等下游应用。现有研究常忽略多模态内容与时间性社交互动信号的联合建模,且文献分散于不同数据集、模态、观察窗口、预测目标与评估协议,导致公平比较困难,难以系统理解各类信号如何共同影响热度动态。为此,我们提出MMG-Pop基准,整合多源数据、多模态信号、时间交互信息与主流基线,采用统一评估协议。进一步提出MMG-PopNet,一种统一的多模态图神经网络,联合建模上述多模态信号与图结构社交关系。在涵盖Bluesky和Reddit平台的四个数据集上的大量实验表明,MMG-PopNet表现优异,揭示了跨平台训练的泛化能力、多任务学习优势、多模态贡献度及大语言模型在热度预测中的局限性。这些发现为异构模态下社会动态建模与智能体生态系统的干预研究奠定了统一基础。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Social media popularity prediction aims to forecast the future reach or influence of online content from early-stage observations. Accurate prediction enables key downstream applications, such as advertising optimization and strategic content planning by users, creators, and platforms. Despite substantial progress, existing popularity prediction works often fail to jointly consider multimodal content and temporal social interaction signals. Moreover, the literature remains highly fragmented across datasets, modalities, observation windows, prediction targets, and evaluation protocols. This fragmentation prevents fair comparison and obscures a systematic understanding of how textual, visual, temporal, and interaction-based signals jointly shape popularity dynamics. To address these challenges, we introduce MMG-Pop, a Multi-modal Graph-based Popularity Prediction benchmark, which unifies datasets, modalities, temporal interaction signals, and representative baselines under a standardized evaluation protocol. Furthermore, we propose MMG-PopNet, a unified multi-modal graph-based network that jointly models the aforementioned multi-modal signals and graph-structured social interactions. Extensive experiments on MMG-Pop, comprising four datasets across Bluesky and Reddit platforms, demonstrate the superior performance of MMG-PopNet and yield new insights into cross-platform training generalization, multi-task prediction benefits, multi-modality contributions, and LLM prediction limitation. These findings establish a unified foundation for future research on social dynamics modeling and intervention under heterogeneous modalities and socially-aware agentic ecosystem paradigms.
