Acquiring a network of trust relations among users in social media sites, e.g., item-review sites, is important for analyzing users' behavior and efficiently finding reliable information on the Web. We address the problem of predicting trustlinks among users for an item-review site. Non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) methods have recently been shown useful for trust-link prediction in such a site where both link and activity information is available. Here, a user activity in an item-review site means posting a review and giving a rating for an item. In this paper, for better trust-link prediction, we propose a new NMF method that incorporates people's evaluation of users' activities as well as trust-links and users' activities themselves. We further apply it to an analysis of users' behavior. Using two real world item-review sites, we experimentally demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
