Proud to have graduated from the University of Amsterdam MSc Information Studies program in Data Science, this was my final msc thesis presentation on my defense last July. The thesis answers to the contemporary complex problem of popularity prediction, which is highly discussed but not yet solved. An effort for optimizing feature engineering, using several regression models and answering to the question of "what makes a post popular" according to its content e.g. action, scene, people, animals etc., taking advantage in the meantime both computer vision techniques and text processing, is the summary of this work. My MSc Thesis was marked unanimously with 8/10 - one of the highest grades in UvA Informatics department - and was submitted for a publication in MMM2018 24th International Conference on Multimedia Modeling (Thailand, Bangkok).
