The paper addresses the problem of finding top k influential nodes in large scale directed social networks. We propose two new centrality measures, Diffusion Degree for independent cascade model of information diffusion and Maximum Influence Degree. Unlike other existing centrality measures, diffusion degree considers neighbors' contributions in addition to the degree of a node. The measure also works flawlessly with non uniform propagation probability distributions. On the other hand, Maximum Influence Degree provides the maximum theoretically possible influence (Upper Bound) for a node. Extensive experiments are performed with five different real life large scale directed social networks. With independent cascade model, we perform experiments for both uniform and non uniform propagation probabilities. We use Diffusion Degree Heuristic (DiDH) and Maximum Influence Degree Heuristic (MIDH), to find the top k influential individuals. k seeds obtained through these for both the setups show superior influence compared to the seeds obtained by high degree heuristics, degree discount heuristics, different variants of set covering greedy algorithms and Prefix excluding Maximum Influence Arborescence (PMIA) algorithm. The superiority of the proposed method is also found to be statistically significant as per T-test.
