In today's world, every reader or social media user has different choices/hobbies in terms of reading. For example, if any social media user is searching for a book to read without any specific idea of what s/he wants, s/he wastes a lot of time browsing around on the internet and crawling/trawling through various sites hoping that s/he might get good book. To avoid confusion, the authors are building a recommendation system for every reader/user that helps to recommend a book based on his choices, hobbies, or what s/he had read previously that will be massive help for users instead wasting time on various sites. Data from social media is the powerful fuel that can be used to helps in decision making and building a recommendation engine. Social media data in the different format is biggest challenge for the business to ingest data at the reasonable speed and further process. In social media data, it is difficult to detect and capture data. Real-time recommendation engine for users, which includes data ingestion methods, challenges, metadata problem, analysis, and consumption, is discussed here.

This chapter discusses the use of large quantities of incidentallycollected data (ICD) to make inferences about politics. This type of datais sometimes referred to as “big data” but I avoid this term because of itsconflicting definitions (Monroe, 2012; Ward & Barker, 2013). ICD is datathat was created or collected primarily for a purpose other than analysis.Within this broad definition, this chapter focuses particularly on datagenerated through user interactions with websites. While ICD has beenaround for at least half a century, the Internet greatly expanded theavailability and reduced the cost of ICD. Examples of ICD include data onInternet searches, social media data, and user data from civic platforms.This chapter briefly explains some sources and uses of ICD and thendiscusses some of the potential issues of analysis and interpretation thatarise when using ICD, including the different approaches to inference thatresearchers can use.

Crowdcoding, a method that outsources “coding” tasks to numerous people on the internet, has emerged as a popular approach for annotating texts and visuals. However, the performance of this approach for analyzing social media data in the context of journalism and mass communication research has not been systematically assessed. This study evaluated the validity and efficiency of crowdcoding based on the analysis of 4,000 tweets about the 2016 U.S. presidential election. The results show that compared with the traditional quantitative content analysis, crowdcoding yielded comparably valid results and was superior in efficiency, but was more expensive under most circumstances.

In this paper we propose a scalable platform for real-time processing of Social Media data. The platform ingests huge amounts of contents, such as Social Media posts or comments, and can support Public Health surveillance tasks. The processing and analytical needs of multiple screening tasks can easily be handled by incorporating user-defined execution graphs. The design is modular and supports different processing elements, such as crawlers to extract relevant contents or classifiers to categorise Social Media. We describe here an implementation of a use case built on the platform that monitors Social Media users and detects early signs of depression.

Smart government relies both on the application of digital technologies to enable citizen's participation in order to achieve a high level of citizen centricity and on data-driven decision making in order to improve the quality of life of citizens. Data-driven decisions in turn depend on accessible and reliable datasets, which open government and social media data are likely to promise. The SmartGov project uses digital technologies by integrating open and social media data in Fuzzy Cognitive Maps to model real life problems and simulate different scenarios leading to better decision making. This research performed a multiple-case analysis in two pilot cities. Both municipalities use the technologies to find the best routes: Limassol to improve the garbage collection and Quart de Poblet to improve the walking routes of chaperones guiding children to school. The article proposes a generic framework for Smart City Governance focusing on the inputs and outcomes of this process in the use of technologies for policy making built based on the analysis of the SmartGov.
