Twitter is a social network service that generates about 140 million contents a day. Contents of Twitter contain a variety of information and many researchers research those in various fields. In this research, we propose a method for evaluating the importance of content based on characteristics of Twitter. We have found that number of follower means user's popularity and Re-tweet that means the popularity of content. We perform experiments about proposed method using real Twitter data for proving effectiveness of proposed method. Also, we found information providers in Twitter are public user who represent a company or a representative of a specific group.

Economic and social damages are expected due to yellow dust, occurring every year in Korea and risk of citizens is getting higher accordingly. This study acquired tweet data for yellow dust, which had been the greatest since 2009 for 11 days before and after February 23, 2015. After that, it conducted an analysis on the issue words and association rule. Regarding acquired tweet data, the results of analyzing issue words by using open source R, statistics language shows that 'Mask' was ranked to be the highest, followed by health-related issue words. This indicates that people put the priority in the use of mask for keeping their health, as a result of the occurrence of yellow dust, and subsequently, they showed an interest in diseases, caused by yellow dust. In addition, yellow dust-related diseases, 'cold', 'rhinitis', 'flu', 'asthma', 'bronchitis' were found as issue words, revealing that people had a high concern on the disease occurrence of the respiratory system. The analytical results are judged to reflect the citizen's thought effectively in the process of establishing measures for the prevention of yellow dust.

IoT is emerging topic of the post-smartphone era. But IoT service is actually not easy but due to the absence of the open standard IoT service platform. In this study, We propose and implement IoT services platform using commercial SNS platform like Tweet, Facebook or YouTube. we implement the intelligent control system of the urban farm using our IoT services platform as an example. Our system can save an additional server deployment and management cost using open SNS platform like Tweet or Facebook or Youtube. In addition, there are needs to develop App. for the smartphone because we can take advantage of the user interface which is developed by global enterprises.

This study investigates the impact of tweets on box office revenue. Specifically, the study focuses on the times when tweets were written by examining the impact of pre- and post-consumption tweets on box office revenue; an examination that is based on Expectation Confirmation Theory. The study also investigates the impact of intention tweets versus subjective tweets and the impact of negative tweets on box office revenue. Targeting 120 movies released in the US between February and August 2012, this study collected tweet information on a daily basis from two weeks before the opening until the closing and box office revenue information. The results indicate that the disconfirmation that occurs in relation to the total number of pre-consumption tweets for a movie has a negative impact on box office revenue. This premise suggests that the formation of higher expectations of a movie does not always result in positive results in situations where tweets on perceived movie quality after watching spread rapidly. This study also reveals that intention tweets have stronger effects on box office revenue than subjective tweets.

Twitter is one of the most popular social platforms for online users to share trendy information and views on any event. Twitter reports an event faster than any other medium and contains enormous information and views regarding an event. Consequently, Twitter topic summarization is one of the most convenient ways to get instant gist of any event. However, the information shared on Twitter is often full of nonstandard abbreviations, acronyms, out of vocabulary (OOV) words and with grammatical mistakes which create challenges to find reliable and useful information related to any event. Undoubtedly, Twitter event summarization is a challenging task where traditional text summarization methods do not work well. In last decade, various research works introduced different approaches for automatic Twitter topic summarization. The main aim of this survey work is to make a broad overview of promising summarization approaches on a Twitter topic. We also focus on automatic evaluation of summarization techniques by surveying recent evaluation methodologies. At the end of the survey, we emphasize on both current and future research challenges in this domain through a level of depth analysis of the most recent summarization approaches.

Location-based social media data have high potential to be used in various area such as big data, location based services and so on. In this study, we applied a series of analysis methodology to figure out how the important keywords in location-based social media are spatially distributed by analyzing text information. For this purpose, we collected tweet data with geo-tag in Gangnam district and its environs in Seoul for a month of August 2013. From this tweet data, principle keywords are extracted. Among these, keywords of three categories such as food, entertainment and work and study are selected and classified by category. The spatial clustering is conducted to the tweet data which contains keywords in each category. Clusters of each category are compared with buildings and benchmark POIs in the same position. As a result of comparison, clusters of food category showed high consistency with commercial areas of large scale. Clusters of entertainment category corresponded with theaters and sports complex. Clusters of work and study showed high consistency with areas where private institutes and office buildings are concentrated.

In Twitter, a user can post a message below 140 characters on his/her account, and can also repost a message of other users who the user follows. The message posted by the user in turn can be seen and reposted by other users who follow the user, which is called Re-tweet (RT). While some messages spread widely, other messages have relatively less or no RT. What factors cause these quantity variances of RT originated from original messages? How can the messages become influential in online social networks? As an effort to answer the above questions, we focused on information vividness, message characteristics, and originator characteristics. In perspective of managerial implication, we expect that the findings of this paper will provide corporations with helpful insight on the Word-of-Mouth (WOM) effect for efficient and effective advertisements and communications when they send a message of new products or services through Social Network Services. In perspective of academic implication, we identify the effect of contents of a message on WOM, which has been dealt with by few social network researches.

Opinion mining is a way to analyze the emotions in the text and is used to identify the emotional state of the author and to find out the opinions of the public. As you can analyze individual emotions through opinion mining, if you analyze the text by region, you can find out the emotional state you have in each region. The regional sentiment analysis can obtain information that could not be obtained from personal sentiment analysis, and if a certain area has emotions, it can understand the cause. For regional sentiment analysis, we need text data created by region, so we need to collect data through Twitter crawling. Therefore, this paper designs a Twitter data collection system for regional sentiment analysis. The client requests the tweet data of the specific region and time, and the server collects and transmits the requested tweet data from the client. Through the latitude and longitude values of the region, it collects the tweet data of the area, and it can manage the text by region and time through collected data. We expect efficient data collection and management for emotional analysis through the design of this system.

In the era of SNS, many people relies on it to express their emotions about various kinds of products and services. Therefore, for the companies eagerly seeking to investigate how their products and services are perceived in the market, emotion mining tasks using dataset from SNSs become important much more than ever. Basically, emotion mining is a branch of sentiment analysis which is based on BOW (bag-of-words) and TF-IDF. However, there are few studies on the emotion mining which adopt feature selection (FS) methods to look for optimal set of features ensuring better results. In this sense, this study aims to propose FS methods to conduct emotion mining tasks more effectively with better outcomes. This study uses Twitter and SemEval2007 dataset for the sake of emotion mining experiments. We applied three FS methods such as CFS (Correlation based FS), IG (Information Gain), and ReliefF. Emotion mining results were obtained from applying the selected features to nine classifiers. When applying DT (decision tree) to Tweet dataset, accuracy increases with CFS, IG, and ReliefF methods. When applying LR (logistic regression) to SemEval2007 dataset, accuracy increases with ReliefF method.
