We propose a new probabilistic graphical model for MBT. Further, a linear-time approximation method is proposed to circumvent an intractable parametric representation of user behaviors. We compare the proposed model with the existing state-of-the-art method on real datasets from social networks. Our model outperforms in all categories by comfortable margins. -Publication: -* ``13th SIAM Data Mining 2013`` Yusheng Xie, Zhengzhang Chen, Kunpeng Zhang, Md.
