However, it is challenging for founders to find the most potential investors and successfully raise money for their projects on crowdfunding platforms. A few machine learning based methods have been proposed to recommend investors’ interest in a specific crowdfunding project, but they fail to provide project founders with explanations in detail for these recommendations, thereby leading to an erosion of trust in predicted investors. To help crowdfunding founders find truly interested investors, we conducted semi-structured interviews with four crowdfunding experts and presentsinSearch, a visual analytic system. inSearch allows founders to search for investors interactively on crowdfunding platforms. It supports an effective overview of potential investors by leveraging a Graph Neural Network to model investor preferences. Besides, it enables interactive exploration and comparison of the temporal evolution of different investors’ investment details. 2022-05-01T07:00:00Z text application/pdf https://ink.library.smu.edu.sg/sis_research/7684 info:doi/10.1145/3491101.3519725 https://ink.library.smu.edu.sg/context/sis_research/article/8687/viewcontent/who_will.pdf http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems eng Institutional Knowledge at Singapore Management University Visual Analytics Crowdfunding Comparative Analysis Databases and Information Systems
