Recently, the importance of users' geographic location information has been highlighted with a rapid increase of online social network services. In this paper, by utilizing geo-tagged tweets that provides high-precision location information of users, we first identify both Twitter users' exact location and the corresponding timestamp when the tweet was sent. Then, we analyze a relationship between the tweet frequency and the average user velocity. Specifically, we introduce a tweet-frequency computing algorithm, and show analysis results by country and by city. As a main result, it is shown that the tweet frequency according to user velocity follows a power-law distribution (i.e., Zipf' distribution or a Pareto distribution). In addition, by performing a comparison between the United States and Japan, one can see that the exponent of the distribution in Japan is smaller than that in the United States.

본고에서는 소셜 빅데이터에서 공공안전에 위협되고 사회적으로 이슈가 되는 재난사건을 추출하기 위한 방법으로 소셜 네트워크상에서 사용자 행동 분석과 시간분석을 반영한 토픽 모델링 기법을 알아본다. 소셜 사용자의 글 수, 리트윗 반응, 활동주기, 팔로워 수, 팔로잉 수 등 사용자의 행동 분석을 통하여 활동적이고 신뢰성 있는 사용자를 분류함으로써 트윗에서 스팸성과 광고성을 제외하고 이슈에 대해 신뢰성 높은 사용자가 쓴 트윗을 중요하게 반영한다. 또한, 트위터 데이터에서 새로운 이슈가 발생한 것을 탐지하기 위해 시간별 핵심어휘 빈도의 분포 변화를 측정하고, 이슈 트윗에 대해 감성 표현 분석을 통해 핵심이슈에 대해 사건 어휘를 추출한다. 소셜 빅데이터의 특성상 같은 날짜에 여러 이슈에 대한 트윗이 많이 생성될 수 있기 때문에, 트윗들을 토픽별로 그룹핑하는 것이 필요하므로, 최근 많이 사용되고 있는 LDA 토픽모델링 기법에 시간 특성과 사용자 특성을 분석한 시간상에서의 중요한 사건 어휘를 반영하고, 해당이슈에 대한 신뢰성 있는 사용자가 쓴 트윗을 중요시 반영하도록 토픽모델링 기법을 개선한 소셜 사건 탐지 방법에 대해 알아본다.

In this paper, we present a visual analytics system that uses serial-correlation to detect an abnormal event in spatio-temporal data. Our approach extracts the topic-model from spatio-temporal tweets and then filters the abnormal event candidates using a seasonal-trend decomposition procedure based on Loess smoothing (STL). We re-extract the topic from the candidates, and then, we apply STL to the second candidate. Finally, we analyze the serial-correlation between the first candidates and the second candidate in order to detect abnormal events. We have used a visual analytic approach to detect the abnormal events, and therefore, the users can intuitively analyze abnormal event trends and cyclical patterns. For the case study, we have verified our visual analytics system by analyzing information related to two different events: the 'Gyeongju Mauna Resort collapse' and the 'Jindo-ferry sinking'.

Risk management system should be able to support a decision making within a short time to analyze stream data in real time. Many analytical systems consist of CPU computation and disk based database. However, it is more problematic when existing system analyzes stream data in real time. Stream data has various production periods from 1ms to 1 hour, 1day. One sensor generates small data but tens of thousands sensors generate huge amount of data. If hundreds of thousands sensors generate 1GB data per second, CPU based system cannot analyze the data in real time. For this reason, it requires fast processing speed and scalability for analyze stream data. In this paper, we present a fast visualization technique that consists of hybrid database and GPU computation. In order to evaluate our technique, we demonstrate a visual analytics system that analyzes pipeline leak using sensor and tweet data.

The demand prediction is a critical issue for the film industry. As the social media, such as Twitter and Facebook, gains momentum of late, considerable efforts are being dedicated to prediction and analysis of hit movies based on unstructured text data. For prediction of trends found in commercially successful films, the correlations between the amount of data and hit movies may be analyzed by estimating the data variation by period while opinion mining that assigns sentiment polarity score to data may be employed. However, it is not possible to understand why the audience chooses a certain movie or which attribute of a movie is preferred by using such a quantitative approach. This has limited the efforts to identify factors driving a movie's commercial success. In this regard, this study aims to investigate a movie's attributes that reflect the interests of the audience. This would be done by extracting topic keywords that represent the contents of Twits through frequency measurement based on the collected Twitter data while analyzing responses displayed by the audience. The objective is to propose factors driving a movie's commercial success.
