Topic:

Social Media & Social Network Data Analytics

Social media and networks are a popular place for people to express their opinions about consumer products, to organize or initiate social events, or to spread news. Some questions would be asked in order to understand the social media and social networks: how can we detect and predict the emerging sensitive events? How can we predict the propagation patterns of online micro-blogs? How can we understand people’s opinions about a current issue, a new product, or an important event? This talk is to report our recent research work on the social media and social networks data mining. A few application systems will be reported to answer the above questions.
