Many methods of discovering social networking communities or clustering of features are based on the network structure or the content network. This paper proposes a community discovery method based on topic models using a time factor and an unsupervised clustering method. Online community discovery enables organizations and businesses to thoroughly understand the trend in users' interests in their products and services. In addition, an insight into customer experience on social networks is a tremendous competitive advantage in this era of ecommerce and Internet development. The objective of this work is to find clusters (communities) such that each cluster's nodes contain topics and individuals having similarities in the attribute space. In terms of social media analytics, the method seeks communities whose members have similar features. The method is experimented with and evaluated using a Vietnamese corpus of comments and messages collected on social networks and ecommerce sites in various sectors from 2016 to 2019. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method over other methods.

Due to the development and dissemination of modern technology, anyone can easily communicate using services such as social network service (SNS) through a personal computer (PC) or smartphone. The development of these technologies has caused many beneficial effects. At the same time, bad effects also occurred, one of which was the spam problem. Spam refers to unwanted or rejected information received by unspecified users. The continuous exposure of such information to service users creates inconvenience in the user's use of the service, and if filtering is not performed correctly, the quality of service deteriorates. Recently, spammers are creating more malicious spam by distorting the image of spam text so that optical character recognition (OCR)-based spam filters cannot easily detect it. Fortunately, the level of transformation of image spam circulated on social media is not serious yet. However, in the mail system, spammers (the person who sends spam) showed various modifications to the spam image for neutralizing OCR, and therefore, the same situation can happen with spam images on social media. Spammers have been shown to interfere with OCR reading through geometric transformations such as image distortion, noise addition, and blurring. Various techniques have been studied to filter image spam, but at the same time, methods of interfering with image spam identification using obfuscated images are also continuously developing. In this paper, we propose a deep learning-based spam image detection model to improve the existing OCR-based spam image detection performance and compensate for vulnerabilities. The proposed model extracts text features and image features from the image using four sub-models. First, the OCR-based text model extracts the text-related features, whether the image contains spam words, and the word embedding vector from the input image. Then, the convolution neural network-based image model extracts image obfuscation and image feature vectors from the input image. The extracted feature is determined whether it is a spam image by the final spam image classifier. As a result of evaluating the F1-score of the proposed model, the performance was about 14 points higher than the OCR-based spam image detection performance.

Social Network Services(SNS) such as Twitter, Facebook and Myspace have gained popularity worldwide. Especially, sentiment analysis of SNS users' sentence is very important since it is very useful in the opinion mining. In this paper, we propose a new sentiment classification method of sentences which contains formal and informal vocabulary such as emoticons, and newly coined words. Previous methods used only formal vocabulary to classify sentiments of sentences. However, these methods are not quite effective because internet users use sentences that contain informal vocabulary. In addition, we construct suggest to construct domain sentiment vocabulary because the same word may represent different sentiments in different domains. Feature vectors are extracted from the sentiment vocabulary information and classified by Support Vector Machine(SVM). Our proposed method shows good performance in classification accuracy.

An online community is a virtual group whose members share their interests and hobbies anonymously with nicknames unlike Social Network Services. However, there are malicious user problems such as users who write offensive contents and there may exist data fragmentation problems in which the data of the same user exists in different nicknames. In addition, nicknames are frequently changed in the online community, so it is difficult to identify them. Therefore, in this paper, to remedy these problems we propose a behavior pattern feature vectors for users considering online community characteristics, propose a new implicit behavior pattern called relationship pattern, and identify the nickname of the same user based on Random Forest classifier. Also, Experimental results with the collected real world online community data demonstrate that the proposed behavior pattern and classifier can identify the same users at a meaningful level.
