Hundreds of millions of new posts and information are being uploaded and propagated everyday on Online Social Networks(OSN) like Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram. This paper proposes and implements a GPS-location based SNS data mapping, analysis, and visualization system, called Smart SNS Map, which collects SNS data from Twitter and Instagram using hundreds of PlanetLab nodes distributed across the globe. Like no other previous systems, our system uniquely supports a variety of functions, including GPS-location based mapping of collected tweets and Instagram photos, keyword-based tweet or photo searching, real-time heat-map visualization of tweets and instagram photos, sentiment analysis, word cloud visualization, etc. Overall, a system like this, admittedly still in a prototype phase though, is expected to serve a role as a sort of social weather station sooner or later, which will help people understand what are happening around the SNS users, systems, society, and how they feel about them, as well as how they change over time and/or space.

A widely used social networking service like Twitter has the ability to disseminate information to large groups of people even during a pandemic. At the same time, it is a convenient medium to share irrelevant and unverified information online and poses a potential threat to society. In this research, conventional machine learning algorithms are analyzed to classify the data as either non-rumor data or rumor data. Machine learning techniques have limited tuning capability and make decisions based on their learning. To tackle this problem the authors propose a deep learning-based Rumor Detection Neural Network model to predict the rumor tweet in real-world events. This model comprises three layers, AttCNN layer is used to extract local and position invariant features from the data, AttBi-LSTM layer to extract important semantic or contextual information and HPOOL to combine the down sampling patches of the input feature maps from the average and maximum pooling layers. A dataset from Kaggle and ground dataset #gaja are used to train the proposed Rumor Detection Neural Network to determine the veracity of the rumor. The experimental results of the RDNN Classifier demonstrate an accuracy of 93.24% and 95.41% in identifying rumor tweets in real-time events.

Recent researches on Entity Linking(EL) have attempted to disambiguate entities by using a knowledge base to handle the semantic relatedness and up-to-date information. However, EL for tweets using a knowledge base is still unsatisfactory, mainly because the tweet data are mostly composed of short and noisy contexts and real-time issues. The EL system the present work builds up links ambiguous entities to the corresponding entries in a given knowledge base via exploring the news articles and the user history. Using news articles, the system can overcome the problem of Wikipedia coverage (i.e., not handling real-time issues). In addition, given that users usually post tweets related to their particular interests, the current system referring to the user history robustly and effectively works with a small size of tweet data. In this paper, we propose an approach to building an EL system that links ambiguous entities to the corresponding entries in a given knowledge base through the news articles and the user history. We created a dataset of Korean tweets including ambiguous entities randomly selected from the extracted tweets over a seven-day period and evaluated the system using this dataset. We use accuracy index(number of correct answer given by system/number of data set) The experimental results show that our system achieves a accuracy of 67.7% and outperforms the EL methods that exclusively use a knowledge base.

Recently, disaster caused by social factors is frequently occurring in Korea. Prediction about what crisis could happen is difficult, raising the citizen's concern. In this study, we developed a program to acquire tweet data by applying Python language based Tweepy plug-in, regarding social disasters such as 'Nonspecific motive crimes' and 'Oxy' products. These data were used to evaluate psychological trauma and anxiety of citizens through the text clustering analysis and the opinion mining analysis of the R Studio program after natural language processing. In the analysis of the 'Oxy' case, the accident of Sewol ferry, the continual sale of Oxy products of the Oxy had the highest similarity and 'Nonspecific motive crimes', the coping measures of the government against unexpected incidents such as the 'incident' of the screen door, the accident of Sewol ferry and 'Nonspecific motive crime' due to misogyny in Busan, had the highest similarity. In addition, the average index of the Citizens sentiment score in Nonspecific motive crimes was more negative than that in the Oxy case by 11.61%p. Therefore, it is expected that the findings will be utilized to predict the mental health of citizens to prevent future accidents.

It is impossible for any human being to analyze the more than 500 million tweets that are generated per day. Lexical ambiguities on Twitter make it difficult to retrieve the desired data and relevant topics. Most of the solutions for the word sense disambiguation problem rely on knowledge base systems. Unfortunately, it is expensive and time-consuming to manually create a knowledge base system, resulting in a knowledge acquisition bottleneck. To solve the knowledge-acquisition bottleneck, a topic signature is used to disambiguate words. In this paper, we evaluate the effectiveness of various features of newspapers on the topic signature extraction for word sense discrimination in tweets. Based on our results, topic signatures obtained from a snippet feature exhibit higher accuracy in discriminating company names than those from the article body. We conclude that topic signatures extracted from news articles improve the accuracy of word sense discrimination in the automated analysis of tweets.

A hotspot is a spatial pattern that properties or events of spaces are densely revealed in a particular area. Whereas location information is easily captured with increasing use of mobile devices, so is not our emotion unless asking directly through a survey. Tweet provides a good way of analyzing such spatial sentiment, but relevant research is hard to find. Therefore, we analyzed hotspots of emotion in the twitter using spatial autocorrelation. 10,142 tweets and related GPS data were extracted. Sentiment of tweets was classified into good or bad with a support vector machine algorithm. We used Moran's I and Getis-Ord $G_i^*$ for global and local spatial autocorrelation. Some hotspots were found significant and drawn on Seoul metropolitan area map. These results were found very similar to an earlier conducted official survey of happiness index.

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.

Our goal is to build the system which collects tweets from Twitter, analyzes the sentiment of each tweet, and helps users build a sentiment tagged corpus semi-automatically. After collecting tweets with the Twitter API, we analyzes the sentiments of them with a sentiment dictionary. With the proposed system, users can verify the results of the system and can insert new sentimental words or dependency relations where sentiment information exist. Sentiment information is tagged with the JSON structure which is useful for building or accessing the corpus. With a test set, the system shows about 76% on the accuracy in analysing the sentiments of sentences as positive, neutral, or negative.

We analyze public opinion via a sentiment analysis of tweets collected by using recent topic keywords extracted from newspaper articles. Newspaper articles collected within a certain period of time are clustered by using K-means algorithm and topic keywords for each cluster are extracted by using term frequency. A sentiment analyzer learned by a machine learning method can classify tweets according to their polarity values. We have an assumption that tweets collected by using these topic keywords deal with the same topics as the newspaper articles mentioned if the tweets and the newspapers are generated around the same time. and we tried to verify the validity of this assumption.
