Social Media & Social Network Data Analytics

Title: Social Media & Social Network Data Analytics

Short description: Social media and networks are a popular place for people to express their opinions about consumer products, to organide or initiate social events, or to spread news. Some questions should be asked in order to understand the social media and social networks: How can we detect and predict the emerging events with the awareness of locations? 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 such as government elections? 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.
