Abstract Social media provides an infrastructure where users can share their data at an unprecedented speed without worrying about storage and processing. Social media data has grown exponentially and now there is major interest in extracting any useful information from the social media data to apply in various domains. Currently, there are various tools available to analyze the large amounts of social media data. However, these tools do not consider the diversity of the social media data, and treat social media as a uniform data source with similar features. Thus, these tools lack the flexibility to dynamically process and analyze the social media data according to its diverse features. In this paper, we develop a `Big Social Data as a Service' (BSDaaS) composition framework that extracts the data from various social media platforms, and transforms it into useful information. The framework provides a quality model to capture the dynamic features of social media data. In addition, our framework dynamically assesses the quality features of the social media data and composes appropriate services required for various information analyses. We present a social media based sentiment analysis system as a motivating scenario and conduct experiments using real-world datasets to show the efficiency of our approach.

This paper presents a model to collect, save, geocode, and analyze social media data. The model is used to collect and process the social media data concerned with the ISIS terrorist group (the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria), and to map the areas in Syria most affected by ISIS accordingly to the social media data. Mapping process is assumed automated compilation of a density map for the geocoded tweets. Data mined from social media (e.g., Twitter and Facebook) is recognized as dynamic and easily accessible resources that can be used as a data source in spatial analysis and geographical information system. Social media data can be represented as a topic data and geocoding data basing on the text of the mined from social media and processed using Natural Language Processing (NLP) methods. NLP is a subdomain of artificial intelligence concerned with the programming computers to analyze natural human language and texts. NLP allows identifying words used as an initial data by developed geocoding algorithm. In this study, identifying the needed words using NLP was done using two corpora. First corpus contained the names of populated places in Syria. The second corpus was composed in result of statistical analysis of the number of tweets and picking the words that have a location meaning (i.e., schools, temples, etc.). After identifying the words, the algorithm used Google Maps geocoding API in order to obtain the coordinates for posts.

The amount of production data generated by social media opportunities that can be exploited by various parties, both government and private sectors to produce the information. Social media data can be used to know the behavior and public perception of the phenomenon or a particular event. To obtain and analyze social media data needed depth knowledge of Internet technology, social media, databases, data structures, information theory, data mining, machine learning, until the data and information visualization techniques. In this research, social media analysis on a particular topic and the development of prototype devices software used as a tool of social media data retrieval or retrieval of data applications. Social Media Analytics (SMA) aims to make the process of analysis and synthesis of social media data to produce information can be used by those in need. SMA process is done in three stages, namely: Capture, Understand and Present. This research is exploratorily focused on understanding the technology that became the basis of social media using various techniques exist and is already used in the study of social media analytic previously.

Facebook and Twitter are the most popular social media platforms among netizen. People are now more aggressive to express their opinions, perceptions, and emotions through social media platforms. These massive data provide great value for the data analyst to understand patterns and emotions related to a certain issue. Mining the data needs techniques and time, therefore data visualization becomes trending in representing these types of information. This paper aims to review data visualization studies that involved data from social media postings. Past literature used node-link diagram, node-link tree, directed graph, line graph, heatmap, and stream graph to represent the data collected from the social media platforms. An analysis by comparing the social media data types, representation, and data visualization techniques is carried out based on the previous studies. This paper critically discussed the comparison and provides a suggestion for the suitability of data visualization based on the type of social media data in hand.

With the amplification of social media platforms, the importance of social media analytics has exponentially increased for many brands and organizations across the world. Tracking and analyzing the social media data has been contributing as a success parameter for such organizations, however, the data is being poorly harnessed. Therefore, the ethical implications of social media analytics need to be identified and explored for both the organizations and targeted users of social media data. The present work is an exploratory study to identify the various techno-ethical concerns of social media engagement, as well as social media analytics. The impact of these concerns on the individuals, organizations, and society as a whole are discussed. Ethical engagement for the most common social media platforms has been outlined with a number of specific examples to understand the prominent techno-ethical concerns. Both the individual and organizational perspectives have been taken into account to identify the implications of social media analytics.

Sentiment analysis is one of the heated topic in the field of text mining. As the social media data is increased day by day the main need of the data scientists is to classify the data so that it can be further used for decision making or knowledge discovery. Now –a-days everything and everyone available online so to check the latest trends in business or in daily life one must consider the online data. The main focus of sentiment analysis is to focus on positive or negative comments so that a well define picture is created that what is trending or not but the sarcasm manipulates the data as in sarcastic comment negative comment consider as positive because of the presence of positive words in the comment or data so it is necessary to detect the sarcasm in online data . The data on social media is available in various languages so sentiment analysis in regional languages is also a main step . In the proposed work we focus on two languages i.e Punjabi and English. Here we use deep learning based neural networks for the sarcasm detection in English as well as Punjabi language. In the proposed work we consider three datasets i.e. balanced English dataset, Balanced Punjabi Dataset and unbalanced Punjabi dataset. We used six different models to check the accuracy of the classified data the models we used are LSTM with word embedding layer, BiLSTM with , LSTM+LSTM, BiLSTM+BiLSTM, LSTM+BiLSTM, CNN respectively. LSTM provide better accuracy for balanced Punjabi and English dataset i.e. 95.63% and 94.17% respectively. The accuracy for unbalanced Punjabi dataset is provided by BiLSTM i.e.96.31%.

Visual sentiment analysis is the way to automatically recognize positive and negative emotions from images, videos, graphics, stickers etc. To estimate the polarity of the sentiment evoked by images in terms of positive or negative sentiment, most of the state-of-the-art works exploit the text associated to a social post provided by the user. However, such textual data is typically noisy due to the subjectivity of the user which usually includes text useful to maximize the diffusion of the social post. Proposed system will extract and employ an Objective Text description of images automatically extracted from the visual content rather than the classic Subjective Text provided by the user. The proposed System will extract three views visual view, subjective text view and objective text view of social media image and will give sentiment polarity positive, negative or neutral based on hypothesis table.


The manifestation of humanity is driven by fulfillment of desires. These desires are satiated by the society and its resources. But after the advent of social media the societal boundaries have shrunken but desires haven’t, hence the desires are now fulfilled through social media. The aforementioned phenomenon was recognized by the business plutocrats very early and have started to satisfy human desires using social media as a tool. But before satisfying the desires, the businesses needs to identify the specific desires of an individual. The identification of specific desires/needs will help the marketing agencies to develop user specific marketing strategies. These desires are explicitly available through the expressions of sentiments in the social media. The sentiment analysis can provide an insight to the desires of an individual. These patterns and insights helps the businesses to market their product to the right person. The sentiments and expressions can be captured using the scraping technique. The aforesaid points highlight’s the course of study followed by this paper and it is to perform data analytics of the social media data scraped using python.
