With the explosive growth of online discussions published everyday on social media platforms, comprehension and discovery of the most popular topics have become a challenging problem. Conventional topic models have had limited success in online discussions because the corpus is extremely sparse and noisy. To overcome their limitations, we use the discussion thread tree structure and propose a “popularity” metric to quantify the number of replies to a comment to extend the frequency of word occurrences, and the “transitivity” concept to characterize topic dependency among nodes in a nested discussion thread. We build a Conversational Structure Aware Topic Model (CSATM) based on popularity and transitivity to infer topics and their assignments to comments. Experiments on real forum datasets are used to demonstrate improved performance for topic extraction with six different measurements of coherence and impressive accuracy for topic assignments.

Despite extensively investigating the impact of social media on fashion products’ marketing, little evidence is available on how the platforms influence sales prediction. Focusing on Lolita fashion, this study investigates the impact of social media marketing on the sales volume prediction of fashion products. Essentially, we analyzed marketing data, including comments, likes, and shares from the Weibo social platform, to forecast future sales, examine how to enhance profit performance, and make production decisions. Using a quantitative approach, we tested three different prediction models, including multiple regression, decision tree, and XGBoost. The results revealed that increasing comments and decreasing the number of likes could significantly improve the sales volumes of Lolita products. In contrast, shares exerted a less significant impact on sales. Regarding prediction models, XGBoost was found to be the best method. In the fashion industry, social media is a useful tool for forecasting market trend. A limitation of this study is that only one social media platform was used to extract data, which might limit the generalization of the findings.

BACKGROUND Health-related social media data are increasingly being used in disease surveillance studies. In particular, surveillance of infectious diseases such as influenza has demonstrated high correlations between the number of social media posts mentioning the disease and the number of patients who went to the hospital and were diagnosed with the disease. However, the prevalence of some diseases, such as allergic rhinitis, cannot be estimated based on the number of patients alone. Specifically, patients with allergic rhinitis self-medicate by taking over-the-counter (OTC) medications without going to the hospital. Although allergic rhinitis is not a life-threatening disease, it is a major social problem because it reduces patients’ quality of life, making it essential to understand its prevalence and the motives for self-medication behavior. OBJECTIVE To help understand the prevalence of allergic rhinitis and the motives for self-care treatment using social media data, this study investigated the relationship between the number of social media posts mentioning the main symptoms of allergic rhinitis and the sales volume of OTC rhinitis medications in Japan. METHODS We collected tweets over four years from 2017 to 2020 that included keywords corresponding to the main nasal symptoms of allergic rhinitis: “sneezing,” “runny nose,” and “stuffy nose.” We also obtained the sales volume of OTC drugs, including oral medications and nasal sprays, for the same period. We then calculated the Pearson correlation coefficient between time series data on the number of tweets per week and time series data on the sales volume of OTC drugs per week. RESULTS The results showed a much higher correlation (0.8432) between the time series data on the number of tweets mentioning “stuffy nose” and the time series data on the sales volume of nasal sprays than for the other two symptoms. There was also a high correlation (0.9317) between the seasonal components of these time series data. CONCLUSIONS We investigated the relationships between social media data and behavioral patterns, such as OTC drug sales volume. Exploring these relationships would be useful as a marketing indicator to predict sales volume using social media data. In future, in-depth investigations are required to cover other diseases and countries.
