Abstract: A rising number of disciplines, including data science and marketing, are interested in predicting the popularity of social media content. We provide a novel deep learning framework in this paper that predicts many engagement metrics, including likes, comments, shares, and overall engagement, by combining self-attention processes with multi-output regression. By examining both user-specific characteristics (like follower count and account age) and post-specific data (like length, hashtags, and media presence), the model uses self-attention to dynamically allocate importance to various inputs, improving prediction accuracy and interpretability. Model training and validation are conducted using synthetic data that mimics real-world behaviour. A user-friendly online application that provides real-time forecasts and visual insights is used to install the system. The outcomes of our experiments show how well our method captures the intricate patterns that underlie social media interaction.
