scholarly journals Examination of ‘Interests’ and ‘Activities’ of Social Network users

The present study relates to the analysis of attribute data related to users of the social network VK. The general population N = 52,614 users is the intersection of audiences from two communities for social media marketing. Based on the collected statistics on the “interests” attribute, one can compile a generalized portrait of an IT specialist and online marketer: this is a man aged about 30 years old, not married, or who defines his family status as “everything is complicated”. He speaks an average of two languages, works for an organization, or studies at a university. He has about 370 followers on VK. The result based on the data from the field 'activities' is very close to the data from the field 'interests', and gives a similar picture of the generalized portrait of a specialist. As part of the study, the authors have learned how to segment users into the users that identify themselves as „IT specialists or online marketers‟, and „other‟ users, using machine learning methods

Virtual Hotel Operator (VHO) trend is growing rapidly, especially in Indonesia. Two of the most popular VHO in Indonesia are OYO and RedDoorz, both have been competing to attain the first position. Both OYO and RedDoorz have their own social media marketing strategies. For example, OYO persuades other conventional hotels to collaborate and use the OYO platform in their businesses. On the other hand, RedDoorz was recorded as the most visited Virtual Hotel Operator Platform in 2019, based on the data of Konsumen Jakpat 2019. OYO and RedDoorz also utilize social media to promote their services such as Instagram and Twitter. For advertising their businesses in social media, OYO and RedDoorz often use some social media influencers or known as influencer social media marketing. Influencers should be able to effectively deliver the messages and influence people’s decisions to use the products or services they advertise. This study aims to further explore the social media marketing strategy employed by OYO and RedDoorz. The results of Social Network Analysis by using “oyoindonesia” and ‘reddoorz’ as keywords in social media Twitter showed that RedDoorz has a bigger social network and more users involved in spreading their information than OYO. On the other hand, OYO's official account on Twitter is more efficient in performing its function as marketing media.

Abstract The Internet of Things technology offers convenience and innovation in areas such as smart homes and smart cities. Internet of Things solutions require careful management of devices and the risk mitigation of potential vulnerabilities within cyber-physical systems. The Internet of Things concept, its implementations, and applications are frequently discussed on social media platforms. This article illuminates the public view of the Internet of Things through a content-based analysis of contemporary conversations occurring on the Twitter platform. Tweets can be analyzed with machine learning methods to converge the volume and variety of conversations into predictive and descriptive models. We have reviewed 684,503 tweets collected in a two-week period. Using supervised and unsupervised machine learning methods, we have identified interconnecting relationships between trending themes and the most mentioned industries. We have identified characteristics of language sentiment which can help to predict popularity within the realm of IoT conversation. We found the healthcare industry as the leading use case industry for IoT implementations. This is not surprising as the current Covid-19 pandemic is driving significant social media discussions. There was an alarming dearth of conversations towards cybersecurity. Only 12% of the tweets relating to the Internet of Things contained any mention of topics such as encryption, vulnerabilities, or risk, among other cybersecurity-related terms.


The work is devoted to the analysis of friendly relations of the VK social network users. The work aims to obtain connected components of the social graph of the social network users, where edges represent friendships between users and nodes represent users. The total population is approximately 54,000 users (intersection of audiences from two professional communities in the field of social media marketing). The following libraries are used in the work: NumPy and Pandas. The author uses a structural approach focusing on the geometric shape of the network. As a result, a group of 168 users with intra-group connections was allocated from the sample of 1,000 users, of which eight users had visited VK 15 or more days before and eight users had visited the VK from 5 to 15 days before.

Background: Detection of suicide risk is a highly prioritized, yet complicated task. In fact, five decades of suicide research produced predictions that were only marginally better than chance (AUCs = 0.56 – 0.58). Advanced machine learning methods open up new opportunities for progress in mental health research. In the present study, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) models were constructed to predict externally valid suicide risk from everyday language of social media users. Method: The dataset included 83,292 postings authored by 1,002 authenticated, active Facebook users, alongside clinically valid psychosocial information about the users. Results: Using Deep Contextualized Word Embeddings (CWEs) for text representation, two models were constructed: A Single Task Model (STM), to predict suicide risk from Facebook postings directly (Facebook texts → suicide) and a Multi-Task Model (MTM), which included hierarchical, multilayered sets of theory-driven risk factors (Facebook texts → personality traits → psychosocial risks → psychiatric disorders → suicide). Compared with the STM predictions (.606 ≤ AUC ≤ .608), the MTM produced improved prediction accuracy (.690 ≤ AUC ≤ .759), with substantially larger effect sizes (.701 ≤ d ≤ .994). Subsequent content analyses suggest that predictions did not rely on explicit suicide-related themes, but on a wide range of content. Conclusions: Advanced machine learning methods can improve our ability to predict suicide risk from everyday social media activities. The knowledge generated by this research may eventually lead to the development of more accurate and objective detection tools and get individuals the help they need in time.
