A method for Twitter followee recommendation based on multimodal field-aware factorization machines considering social relations (MFFM-SR) is presented. MFFM-SR enables collaborative use of textual and visual features and social relations unlike conventional methods. Specifically, for distinguishing users' interest, visual features are extracted from images in their tweets and icons as well as textual features and social relations. Furthermore, to construct a model that accurately represents users' interest, MFFM-SR that enables calculation of high-level features via estimation of latent relationships among the obtained features and social relations is derived. By using the constructed model, successful followee recommendation becomes feasible.
