User-generated content on social media platforms is a rich source of latent information about individual variables. Crawling and analyzing this content provides a new approach for enterprises to personalize services and put forward product recommendations. In the past few years, brands made a gradual appearance on social media platforms for advertisement, customers support and public relation purposes and by now it became a necessity throughout all branches. This online identity can be represented as a brand personality that reflects how a brand is perceived by its customers. We exploited recent research in text analysis and personality detection to build an automatic brand personality prediction model on top of the (Five-Factor Model) and (Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count) features extracted from publicly available benchmarks. The proposed model reported significant accuracy in predicting specific personality traits form brands. For evaluating our prediction results on actual brands, we crawled the Facebook API for 100k posts from the most valuable brands’ pages in the USA and we visualize exemplars of comparison results and present suggestions for future directions.

Traifeh, H., Bin Tareaf, R., Meinel, C.: Challenges and Opportunities in Digital Learning: Perspectives from the Arab World.British Association for International & Comparative Education, BAICE 2018. BAICE UK, University of York, UK (2018).
The plethora of challenges facing the education sector in the Arab World is resulting in significant gaps in outcome and quality between the region and countries with similar levels of economic development. However, the past few years witnessed a gradual trend of improvement propelled by an increasing adoption of digital learning. The widespread of the Internet, the increased number of mobile devices (especially smartphones) among Arab youth and the improvement of some educational institutions’ technical infrastructure, led to a thriving online education landscape. This paper provides a systematic review of Arab digital learning and MOOCs platforms, and highlights the current challenges and issues faced by learners and providers. The paper reports the results of a survey of Arab students and life-long learners about their digital learning experiences. Analysis of the survey data shows that despite its growing adoption, digital learning is still in its early stages compared to that of the developed countries. The paper discusses the identified opportunities for improvement and the potential benefits and advantages for both learners and digital learning providers. The paper concludes with a discussion of future research directions.

This paper outlines work on the detection of anomalous behaviour in Online Social Networks (OSNs). We present various automated techniques for identifying a ‘prodigious’ segment within a tweet, and consider tweets which are unusual because of writing style, posting sequence, or engagement level. We evaluate the mechanism by running extensive experiments over large artificially constructed tweets corpus, crawled to include randomly interpolated and abnormal Tweets. In order to successfully identify anomalies in a tweet, we aggregate more than 21 features to characterize users’ behavioural pattern. Using these features with each of our methods, we examine the effect of the total number of tweets on our ability to detect an anomaly, allowing segments of size 50 tweets 100 tweets and 200 tweets. We show indispensable improvements over a baseline in all circumstances for each method, and identify the method variant which performs persistently better than others.

The Massive adoption of social media has provided new ways for individuals to express their opinion and emotion online. In 2016, Facebook introduced a new reactions feature that allows users to express their psychological emotions regarding published contents using so-called Facebook reactions. In this paper, a framework for predicting the distribution of Facebook post reactions is presented. For this purpose, we collected an enormous amount of Facebook posts associated with their reactions labels using the proposed scalable Facebook crawler. The training process utilizes 3 million labeled posts for more than 64,000 unique Facebook pages from diverse categories. The evaluation on standard benchmarks using the proposed features shows promising results compared to previous research. The final model is able to predict the reaction distribution on Facebook posts with a recall score of 0.90 for “Joy” emotion.

In order to create an effective article, having great content is essential. However, to achieve this, the writer needs to target a specific audience. A target audience refers to a group of readers that a writer intends to reach with his content. Defining a target audience is substantial because it has a direct effect on adjusting writing style and content of the article. Nowadays, writers rely solely on annotated attributes of articles, such as location and language to understand his/her audience. The aim of this work is to identify the audience attributes of articles, especially not-annotated attributes. Among others, this work focuses on the detection of three key audience attributes of related articles: age, gender, and personality. We compare between multiple machine learning classifiers to detect these attributes. Finally, we demonstrate a prototypical application that enables writers to run existing algorithms such as trend detection and showing related articles that are specific to a defined target audience based on the newly detected attributes.

In this paper, we present our experiences in analyzing Twitter data. The analysis has shown that information diffuses over time through the Twitter network in certain patterns. Furthermore, it has shown those friend relationships significantly influence the information propagation speed on Twitter. Since it was launched in 2006, the microblogging service grew tremendously. Tweets are sent by users all around the world. Results show that there are two major patterns. While these patterns accommodate us to understand the diffusion of information through Twitter in an even better plan, the analysis of friend networks provides information on who influences the network, concerning the number of re-tweets and the time between a tweet and its re-tweets. The approaches have been evaluated both technically, based on how certain a topic matches one of the patterns and how prominent friends are compared to other users, and conceptually, based on existing, well-known approaches in measuring the speed and scale of information diffusion on Twitter.

Organizations continue building virtual working teams (Teleworkers) to become more dynamic as part of their strategic innovation with great benefits to individuals, business, and society. Geographically distributed organizations however have the big challenge of managing people’s knowledge not only to keep operations running but also to promote innovation within the organization creating new knowledge. This study analyses how knowledge-based organizations working with decentralized staff may need considering cognitive styles (CS) and learning styles (LS) of individuals participating on their programs to effectively manage knowledge in virtual settings. The study aims at modeling patterns to identify abilities of individuals according to their cognitive and learning styles attempting to match affinities to work remotely and take part in virtual team work, and also to correctly determine the use of appropriate hypermedia tools to help overcoming lower performance and effectiveness, which may occur due to the lack face-to-face communication normally found in typical offices.

Recently a new format of online education has emerged that combines video lectures, interactive quizzes and social learning into an event that aspires to attract a massive number of participants. This format, referred to as Massive Open Online Course (MOOC), has garnered considerable public attention, and has been invested with great hopes (and fears) of transforming higher education by opening up the walls of closed institutions to a world-wide audience. In this paper, we present two MOOCs that were hosted at the same platform, and have implemented the same learning design. Due to their difference in language, topic domain and difficulty, the communities that they brought into existence were very different. We start by describing the MOOC format in more detail, and the distinguishing features of openHPI. We then discuss the literature on communities of practice and cultures of participation. After some statistical data about the first openHPI course, we present our qualitative observations about both courses, and conclude by giving an outlook on an ongoing comparative analysis of the two courses.

This paper formalizes several independent approaches on how to develop Semantic Web applications using object-oriented programming languages and Object-Triple Mapping. Using such mapping, Semantic Web applications have been developed up to three times faster compared to traditional Semantic Web software engineering. Results show that at the same time, developer satisfaction has been significantly higher if they used object triple mapping. We present a formal notation of object triple mapping and results of an experimental evaluation clearly showing the benefits of such mapping. The work presented here may one day help to make Semantic Web technologies part of the majority of future applications.
