Recently, a lot of users are using social network services as the spread of SNS and generalization of smart-phone. In this study, we apply clustering and ranking method for finding twitter influential users. First, we propose five ranking elements. The five elements include the number of follow, the number of retweet, IRP, IFP and influ-score. These elements are used by centroid point of clustering methods. This study can help to find novel approaches for finding twitter influential users.

Online social networking services help people to migrate social networks from offline to online. Twitter, which has achieved incredible growth, showed that an online social networking service without offline bases can become large and successful. In this paper, we propose a twitter friend notification service using user‘s twitter messages and place recognizing technology. When there is a friend in user‘s nearby place, the service notifies the information to the users. Through the friend notification service, a user can easily extend his online social network to offline.

Twitter has been a popular social media platform where people post short messages of 140 characters or less via the web. A hashtag is a word or acronym created by Twitter users to open a discussion about certain topics and issues that have a very high percentage of trending. Since the hashtag posts are sorted by time, not relevancy, people who firstly use Twitter have had difficulty understanding their context. In this paper, we propose a HBase-based automatic summary system in order to reduce the difficulty of understanding. The proposed system combines an automatic summary method with a fuzzy system after storing the streaming data provided by Twitter API to the HBase. Throughout this procedure, we have eliminated the duplicate of contents in the hashtag posts and have computed scores between posts so that the users can access to the trending topics with relevancy.

This study is intended to investigate that it is possible to analyze the public awareness and satisfaction of the weather forecast service provided by the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) through social media data as a way to overcome limitations of the questionnaire-based survey in the previous research. Sentiment analysis and association rule mining were used for Twitter data containing opinions about the weather forecast service. As a result of sentiment analysis, the frequency of negative opinions was very high, about 75%, relative to positive opinions because of the nature of public services. The detailed analysis shows that a large portion of users are dissatisfied with precipitation forecast and that it is needed to analyze the two kinds of error types of the precipitation forecast, namely, 'False alarm' and 'Miss' in more detail. Therefore, association rule mining was performed on negative tweets for each of these error types. As a result, it was found that a considerable number of complaints occurred when preventive actions were useless because the forecast predicting rain had a 'False alarm' error. In addition, this study found that people's dissatisfaction increased when they experienced inconveniences due to either unpredictable high winds and heavy rains in summer or severe cold in winter, which were missed by weather forecast. This study suggests that the analysis of social media data can provide detailed information about forecast users' opinion in almost real time, which is impossible through survey or interview.

As the number of social network users increases, the information on event such as social issues and disasters receiving attention in each region is promptly posted by the bucket through social media site in real time, and its social ripple effect becomes huge. This study proposes a detection method of events that draw attention from users in specific region at specific time by using twitter data with regional information. In order to collect Twitter data, we use Twitter Streaming API. After collecting data, We implemented event detection system by analyze the frequency of a keyword which contained in a twit in a particular time and clustering the keywords that describes same event by exploiting keywords' co-occurrence graph. Finally, we evaluates the validity of our method through experiments.

Social media is a massive dataset in which individuals' thoughts are freely recorded. So there have been a variety of efforts to analyze it and to understand the social phenomenon. In this study, Twitter was used to define the moments when negative perceptions of the Korean Meteorological Administration (KMA) were displayed and the reasons people were dissatisfied with the KMA. Machine learning methods were used for sentiment analysis to automatically train the implied awareness on Twitter which mentioned the KMA July-October 2011-2014. The trained models were used to validate sentiments on Twitter 2015-2016, and the frequency of negative sentiments was compared with the satisfaction of forecast users. It was found that the frequency of the negative sentiments increased before satisfaction decreased sharply. And the tweet keywords and the news headlines were qualitatively compared to analyze the cause of negative sentiments. As a result, it was revealed that the individual caused the increase in the monthly negative sentiments increase in 2016. This study represents the value of sentiment analysis that can complement user satisfaction surveys. Also, combining Twitter and news headlines provided the idea of analyzing the causes of dissatisfaction that are difficult to identify with only satisfaction surveys. The results contribute to improving user satisfaction with weather services by efficiently managing changes in satisfaction.

The basic search engine on Twitter shows not only tweets that contain search keywords, but also all articles written by users with nicknames containing search keywords. Since the tweets unrelated to the search keyword are exposed as search results, it is inconvenient to many users who want to search only tweets that include the keyword. To solve this inconvenience, this study improved the search function of Twitter by developing an algorithm that searches only tweets that contain search keywords. The improved functionality is implemented as a Web service using ASP.NET MVC5 and is available to many users. We used a powerful collection method in C# to retrieve the results of an object, and it was also possible to output them according to the number of 'retweets' or 'favorites'. If the number of retrieved numbers is less than a given number, we also added an exclusion filter function. Thus, sorting search results by the number of retweets or favorites, user can quickly search for opinions that are of interest to many users. It is expected that many users and data analysts will find the developed function convenient to search on Twitter.

Social Network Service(SNS) has become a hot trend as a web service which helps users construct social relationships in the web and enables online communication. The information about user activities and behaviors obtained from the SNSs is expected to be an useful knowledge source for other services such as recommendation services. Most of previous researches on SNS rely on analyzing overall network topology and surveying the activities in a one-dimensional aspect. This paper propose a system for measuring multi-dimensional interaction through the activities in a SNS. The proposed system delivers an unified profile (consisting of profile and multi-dimension interaction) model from user-activities in Twitter.com. At the experimental section, some meaningful perspectives on a set of the unified profiles are described.

Since 2006, social networking services such as Facebook, Twitter, and Blog user increasing very rapidly. Furthermore demand of Book Retrieval Service using smartphone on social network service environment are increasing too. This service can to easy and share information for search book and data in several university. However, the current edition of the social services in the country to provide security services do not have the right. Therefore, we suggest a social book Retrieval service in social network environment that can support user authentication and partial filter search method on smartphone. our proposed system can to provide more speed responsiveness, effective display result on smartphone and security service.
