Online forums are ideal platforms for worldwide Internet users to share ideas, raise discussions and disseminate information. It is of great interest to gain a better understanding on the dynamic of user interactions and identify user communities in online forums. In this paper, we propose a temporal coherence analysis approach to detect user communities in online forum. Users are represented by vectors of activeness and communities are extracted by a soft community detection algorithm with the support of spectral analysis.
