Digital media in online social networks - an agent based model
EF 2016-17
Résumé
Enabling automated real-time analyses and decision making within online social networks (OSN) is one of the most pressing problems of modern-day data mining. Due to the exponential growth of these networks (e.g. Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn), real-time text and image analysis poses a significant computational challenge. Making sense of media rich data streams is important for many sectors, including advertising and brand management firms, financial institutions, and the intelligence services.In collaboration with Crowdbabble, a Toronto based social media analytics company, the Tamblyn Group will develop software for the simulation of digital media content creation and information transmission within an online social network. The software will generate realistic streams of user generated content based on communities, geography, and topic areas. Such steams can be used to tune real-time analysis and data collection platforms.
