Abstract Social media platforms have lately emerged as a promising tool for predicting the outbreak of epidemics by analyzing information on them with the help of machine learning techniques. Many analytical and statistical models are available to infer a variety of user sentiments in posts on social media. The amount of data generated by social media platforms, such as Twitter, that can be used to track diseases is increasing rapidly. This paper proposes a method for the classification of tweets related to the outbreak of dengue using machine learning algorithms. An artificial neural network (ANN)-based method… More >

Abstract Pig farmers want to have an effective solution for automatically detecting and tracking multiple pigs and alerting their conditions in order to recognize disease risk factors quickly. In this paper, therefore, we propose a novel monitoring system using an Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) technique combining artificial intelligence and Internet of Things (IoT). The proposed system consists of AIoT edge devices and a central monitoring server. First, an AIoT edge device extracts video frame images from a CCTV camera installed in a pig pen by a frame extraction method, detects multiple pigs in the images More >

Abstract

A collective user web behavior simulation is an import means for generating a large-scale user network behavior in a network testbed or cyber range. Existing studies almost focus on individual web behavior analysis and prediction, which cannot simulate human dynamics that widely exist in large-scale users’ behaviors. To address these issues, we propose a novel collective user web behavior simulation method, in which an algorithm for constructing a connected virtual social network is proposed, and then a collective user web behavior simulation algorithm is designed on the virtual social network. In the simulation method, a

Abstract As an interdisciplinary comprehensive subject involving multidisciplinary knowledge, emotional analysis has become a hot topic in psychology, health medicine and computer science. It has a high comprehensive and practical application value. Emotion research based on the social network is a relatively new topic in the field of psychology and medical health research. The text emotion analysis of college students also has an important research significance for the emotional state of students at a certain time or a certain period, so as to understand their normal state, abnormal state and the reason of state change from… More >

Abstract With the rapid development of information technology, the explosive growth of data information has become a common challenge and opportunity. Social network services represented by WeChat, Weibo and Twitter, drive a large amount of information due to the continuous spread, evolution and emergence of users through these platforms. The dynamic modeling, analysis, and network information prediction, has very important research and application value, and plays a very important role in the discovery of popular events, personalized information recommendation, and early warning of bad information. For these reasons, this paper proposes an adaptive prediction algorithm for More >

Abstract Event-related topics in social networking services are always the epitome of heated society issues, therefore determining the significance of analyzing its evolution patterns. In this paper, we present a comprehensive survey on the tweets about "ransomware" in Sina Weibo, a famous social networking service similar to twitter in China. The keyword corresponds to a global ransomware attack in May 2017, on which our example event-related topics are based. We collect text data from sina Weibo and vectorize each tweets, before using a dynamic topic model to discover the event-related topics. The results of the topic More >

Abstract Online social networks provide an unprecedented opportunity for researchers to analysis various social phenomena. These network data is normally represented as graphs, which contain many sensitive individual information. Publish these graph data will violate users’ privacy. Differential privacy is one of the most influential privacy models that provides a rigorous privacy guarantee for data release. However, existing works on graph data publishing cannot provide accurate results when releasing a large number of queries. In this paper, we propose a graph update method transferring the query release problem to an iteration process, in which a large More >

Abstract Prediction space of distinct check-in locations in Location-Based Social Networks is a challenge. In this paper, a thorough analysis of Foursquare Check-ins is done. Based on previous check-in sequences, next location of social-users is accurately predicted using multinomial-Hidden Markov Model (mHMM) with Steady-State probabilities. This information benefits security-agencies in tracking suspects and restaurant-owners to predict their customers’ arrivals at different venues on given days. Higher accuracy and Steady-State venuepopularities obtained for location-prediction using the proposed method, outperform various other baseline methods. More >

Abstract Malicious social robots are the disseminators of malicious information on social networks, which seriously affect information security and network environments. Efficient and reliable classification of social robots is crucial for detecting information manipulation in social networks. Supervised classification based on manual feature extraction has been widely used in social robot detection. However, these methods not only involve the privacy of users but also ignore hidden feature information, especially the graph feature, and the label utilization rate of semi-supervised algorithms is low. Aiming at the problems of shallow feature extraction and low label utilization rate in… More >

Abstract The problem of influence maximizing in social networks refers to obtaining a set of nodes of a specified size under a specific propagation model so that the aggregation of the node-set in the network has the greatest influence. Up to now, most of the research has tended to focus on monolayer network rather than on multiplex networks. But in the real world, most individuals usually exist in multiplex networks. Multiplex networks are substantially different as compared with those of a monolayer network. In this paper, we integrate the multi-relationship of agents in multiplex networks by… More >
