We consider the problem of designing a robust credit score function in the context of online discussion forums. Credit score function assigns a real-valued credit score to each participant based on act ivities on the forum. A credit score of a participant quantifies the usefulness of contribution made by her. However, participants can manipulate a credit score function by forming coalitions. i.e., by strategically awarding upvotes, likes, etc. among a subset of agents to maximize their credit scores. We propose a coalition resistant credit score function which discourages such strategic endorsem ents. We use community detection algorithms to identify close- knit communities in the graph of interactions and characterize coalition ldentifyiig community detection metric. In particular, we show that modularity Is coalition identifying and provide theoretic al guarantees on modularity based credit score function. Finally. we validate our theoretical findings with simulations on illustrative datasets. © 2018 International Foundation for Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems.
