Description

social media analytics refers to the science and discipline of deriving useful hidden insights from massive amounts of semi structured and unstructured data to enable knowledgeable and insightful decision making processes.

However, it is increasingly difficult - if not impossible - for the average

internet user and weblog enthusiast to grasp the blogosphere’s and social media platforms

complexity as a whole, due to thousands of new weblogs and an almost

uncountable number of new posts adding up to the before-mentioned

collective on a daily basis.

Therefore, mining, analyzing,

modeling and presenting this immense data collection is of central

interest. This could enable the user to detect technical trends,

political atmospheric pictures or news articles about a specific topic.

In this seminar, we focus on understanding and analyzing social media streams from different platforms such as (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Blogs, Reddit, LinkedIn, Xing) . To reveal potential relationships or visualize the dynamics of social media, various data mining technologies will be used within the selected topics in this seminar.
