Aerosols are emitted in high concentrations from the fires, which degrade air quality and reduce visibility, in turn causing economic, social, health, and environmental problems. During haze events, it is critical for public authorities to have timely information about affected populations. Currently, Indonesian disaster management authorities manage forest and peatland fire and haze events based on satellite data and sensors. They are looking for more real-time information in order to better protect vulnerable populations and environment. This paper explores information on visibility extracted from photos shared on social media to improve forecasting performance for haze severity. Our results show that visibility information can improve forecast accuracy over a baseline approach with common features, namely data from satellites and ground air quality sensors. Furthermore, by using social media photos, our model adds a near real-time property to the forecast model, with potential to improve disaster management and mitigation,","PeriodicalId":135949,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE/ACM International Conference on Advances in Social Networks Analysis and Mining (ASONAM)","volume":"88 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122679925","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We undertook a detailed study of Twitter during two recent terror-related events: the Manchester attacks and the Las Vegas shooting. We analyze the tweets during these periods using (a) sentiment analysis, (b) topic analysis, and (c) fake news detection. Our analysis demonstrates the spectrum of emotions evinced in reaction and the way those reactions spread over the event timeline. Also, with respect to topic analysis, we find “echo chambers”, groups of people interested in similar aspects of the event.

Recommender systems on retail websites generate a lot of this revenue. Thus, improving recommender systems can increase their revenue. Traditional recommendations for clothes consisted of lexical methods. However, visual-based recommendations have gained popularity over the past few years. This involves processing a multitude of images using different image processing techniques. In order to handle such a vast quantity of images, deep neural networks have been used extensively. With the help of fast Graphics Processing Units, these networks provide results which are extremely accurate, within a small amount of time. However, there are still ways in which recommendations for clothes can be improved. We propose an event-based clothing recommender system which uses object detection. We train a model to identify nine events/scenarios that a user might attend: White Wedding, Indian Wedding, Conference, Funeral, Red Carpet, Pool Party, Birthday, Graduation and Workout. We train another model to detect clothes out of fifty-three categories of clothes worn at the event. Object detection gives a mAP of 84.01. Nearest neighbors of the clothes detected are recommended to the user.","PeriodicalId":135949,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE/ACM International Conference on Advances in Social Networks Analysis and Mining (ASONAM)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131143965","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, it examines the relation between wisdom in adversity and cultural influences using Twitter data from the tragic Japanese tsunami of 2011. The study employs natural language processing and data science to detect the expression of wisdom. Two categories for wisdom in adversity are used: recognition of uncertainty and change, and cognitive empathy. Data processing is applied to 1,000 annotated tweets and extended to 43,436 tweets. The results show that it is viable to study wisdom in context using social networking sites data.

The majority of existing App recommendation algorithms focus on mining App functionality or user usage data for discovering user preferences; while actions taken by a user when he/she decides to download an App or not are ignored. In realistic scenarios, a user will first view the description of the App and then decide if he/she wants to download it or not. The actions such as viewing or downloading provide rich information about users' preferences and tastes for Apps, which have great potentials to advance App recommendations. However, the work on exploring action data for App recommendations is rather limited. Therefore, in this paper we study the novel problem of exploiting user actions for App recommendations. We propose a new framework ActionRank, which simultaneously captures various signals from user actions for App recommendations. Experimental results on real-world datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed framework.","PeriodicalId":135949,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE/ACM International Conference on Advances in Social Networks Analysis and Mining (ASONAM)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126919621","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work, we address a much harder problem of multiple local community detection and propose a Nonnegative Matrix Factorization algorithm for finding multiple local communities for a single seed chosen randomly in multiple ground truth communities. The number of detected communities for the seed is determined automatically by the algorithm. We first apply a Breadth-First Search to sample the input graph up to several levels depending on the network density. We then use Nonnegative Matrix Factorization on the adjacency matrix of the sampled subgraph to estimate the number of communities, and then cluster the nodes of the subgraph into communities. Our proposed method differs from the existing NMF-based community detection methods as it does not use“ argmax ” function to assign nodes to communities. Our method has been evaluated on real-world networks and shows good accuracy as evaluated by the F1 score when comparing with the state-of-the-art local community detection algorithm.","PeriodicalId":135949,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE/ACM International Conference on Advances in Social Networks Analysis and Mining (ASONAM)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115909605","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our goal is to identify influential nodes in a network which might inhibit the percolation process. Our motivation, given a small scale random seeding of an activity in a network, is to identify the most influential nodes in a network to inhibit the spread of an activity amongst the general population of agents. This might model obstructing the spread of fake news in an on line social network, or cascades of panic selling in a network of mutual funds, based on rumour propagation. Hyperbolic networks typically display power law degree distribution, high clustering and skewed centrality distributions. We introduce a form of immunity into the networks, targeting nodes of high centrality and low clustering to be immune to the percolation process, then comparing outcomes with standard bootstrap percolation and with random selection of immune nodes. We generally observe that targeting nodes of high degree has a delaying effect on percolation but, for our chosen graph centralisation measures, a high degree of skew in the distribution of local node centrality values bears some correlation with an increased inhibitory imnact on percolation.","PeriodicalId":135949,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE/ACM International Conference on Advances in Social Networks Analysis and Mining (ASONAM)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123996407","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
