The popularity of social media platforms such as Twitter has led to the proliferation of automated bots, creating both opportunities and challenges in information dissemination, user engagements, and quality of services. Past works on profiling bots had been focused largely on malicious bots, with the assumption that these bots should be removed. In this work, however, we find many bots that are benign, and propose a new, broader categorization of bots based on their behaviors. This includes broadcast, consumption, and spam bots. To facilitate comprehensive analyses of bots and how they compare to human accounts, we develop a systematic profiling …

Social media provides a convenient way for customers to express their feedback to companies. Identifying different types of customers based on their feedback behavior can help companies to maintain their customers. In this paper, we use a machine learning approach to predict a customer’s feedback behavior based on her first feedback tweet. First, we identify a few categories of customers based on their feedback frequency and the sentiment of the feedback. We identify three main categories: spiteful, one-off, and kind. Next, we build a model to predict the category of a customer given her first feedback. We use profile and …

The research on social networks has advanced significantly, which can be attributed to the prevalence of the online social websites and instant messaging systems as well as the popularity of mobile apps that support easy access to online social networks. These social networks are usually characterized by the complex network structures and rich contextual information. They now become the key platforms for, among others, content dissemination, professional networking, recommendation, alerting, and political campaigns. As online social network users perform activities on the social networks, they leave data traces of human behavior which allow the latter to be studied at scale. …

#Greysanatomy Vs. #Yankees: Demographics And Hashtag Use On Twitter, Jisun An, Ingmar Weber

Demographics, in particular, gender, age, and race, are a key predictor of human behavior. Despite the significant effect that demographics plays, most scientific studies using online social media do not consider this factor, mainly due to the lack of such information. In this work, we use state-of-the-art face analysis software to infer gender, age, and race from profile images of 350K Twitter users from New York. For the period from November 1, 2014 to October 31, 2015, we study which hashtags are used by different demographic groups. Though we find considerable overlap for the most popular hashtags, there are also …

We present ZoneRec—a zone recommendation system for physical businesses in an urban city,which uses both public business data from Facebook and urban planning data. The systemconsists of machine learning algorithms that take in a business’ metadata and outputs a list ofrecommended zones to establish the business in. We evaluate our system using data of foodbusinesses in Singapore and assess the contribution of different feature groups to therecommendation quality.
