Inferring social media user attributes using language and network informationNikolaos Aletras
Inferring attributes of social media users is an important problem in computational social science. Automated inference of user characteristics has applications in personalised recommender systems, targeted computational advertising and online political campaigning. In this talk, I’ll present how we can combine language and network information to predict users’ (1) socioeconomic characteristics (e.g., income and occupational class); and (2) voting behaviour.
Lancaster University - Jan 2019
The slides present a model and an application that can be used to assess chat conversations according to their content, which is related to a number of imposed topics, and to the personal involvement of the participants. The main theoretical ideas that stand behind this application are Bakhtin’s polyphony theory and Tannen’s ideas related to the use of repetitions. The results of the application are validated against the gold standard provided by two teachers from the Human-Computer Interaction evaluating the same chats and after that the verification is done using another teacher from the same domain. During the verification we also show that the model used for chat evaluation is dependent on the number of participants to that chat

MediaEval 2014: A Multimodal Approach to Drop Detection in Electronic Dance M...multimediaeval
We predict drops in electronic dance music (EDM), employing different multimodal approaches. We combine three sources of data: noisy labels collected through crowdsourcing, timed comments from SoundCloud and audio content analysis. We predict the correct labels from the noisy labels using the majority vote and Dawid-Skene methods. We also employ timed comments from SoundCloud users to count the occurrence of specific terms near the potential drop event, and, finally, we conduct an acoustic analysis of the audio excerpts. The best results are obtained, when both annotations, metadata and audio, are combined, though the differences between them are not significant.

The Election Debate Visualisation Project - KMi Internal Seminar - 19 June 2014EDV Project
During the 2010 UK general election, the first ever televised Prime Ministerial debates took place. Research and pilot work in KMi and at University of Leeds demonstrated the interest that this sparked in the public, their need for more understanding of the issues, and the potential of mapping the debates in visual ways. In 2015 the next election is anticipated with public debates. The 3 year EPSRC-funded Election Debate Visualisation (EDV) Project [http://edv-project.net] will take this opportunity to investigate new ways in which the public can replay the debates, and engage more deeply with the issue and arguments at stake. In this talk, we will reflect on the current experience of watching debates, summarise key findings from citizen focus groups, show how we have prototyped a new kind of richer audience feedback and video annotation interface (using the televised/streamed Clegg-Farage EU Debates as an example), and indicate where we’re going. Your thoughts on this are most welcome.

Abstract
The public by default nature of Twitter messages, together with the adoption of the #hashtag convention, led during the last few years to the creation of a digital space able to host world-wide conversation on almost every kind of topic (Bruns, 2011; Honeycutt & Herring, 2009; Huberman, Romero, & Wu, 2009; Marwick & boyd, 2010). Beside the adoption of hashtag based conversations as a way to deal with crisis and natural disasters, this practices has been largely adopted as an effective way to share the experience of watching television. So far research on this phenomenon has been focused mainly on large media events (Dayan & Katz, 1994) where Twitter participation occurred as part of the media experience of a single and unique event (Rossi, Magnani, & Iadarola, 2011). These topical discussions take place outside of the standard Twitter network made of follower and followee and represent one of the most interesting recent examples of social shaping of digital media. Hashtag conversations, as well as the idea of the hashtag itself, do not come, in fact, with Twitter’s original feature but instead exploit available affordances of the media (Bruns, 2011; Tumasjan, Sprenger, Sandner, & Welpe, 2010).
This paper bring a substantial contribution to the understanding of how Twitter users’ real practices can reshape the experience of contemporary television by focusing on the study of an appointment based TV show: Servizio Pubblico. Servizio Pubblico is a political talk show aired weekly starting from November 3rd 2011 simultaneously, both on Pay-TV, a large number of local broadcasters and streamed online live on several websites. This peculiar airing/streaming strategy, as well as the more traditional weekly appointment schedule, represents an unexplored scenario for Twitter based studies.
The paper will focus on the following research questions:
RQ1. Is the Twitter conversation network of Servizio Pubblico changing over the several weeks of the show airing? Is it possible to identify a definite set of participants or are they changing every week?
RQ2. Is the conversation mainly made of comments on what is happening in the show or the topic addressed by the TV show actually ignite some debate?
RQ3. Can the Twitter activity be considered as a good indicator of a TV show success? How can it be compared with more traditional data such as the number of viewer or the audience share?
The three RQs will be addressed by analyzing, with a quanti-qualitative methodology, a dataset of over 90,750 Tweet containing the #serviziopubblico hashtag gathered starting from the October 26th 2010.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

SECOND SCREEN AND POLITICAL TALK-SHOWS:
MEASURING AND UNDERSTANDING THE ITALIAN
PARTICIPATORY «COUCH POTATO»
SOCIAL MEDIA - THE FOURTH ANNUAL TRANSFORMING AUDIENCES CONFERENCE
WESTIMIINISTER UNIVERSITY, LONDON, 2-3 SEPTEMBER 2013
2. Outline
• Dataset
• 3 research questions
– Methodology
– Data Analysis
– Results
• Conclusions
3. Dataset
• From 30th of August 2012 to 30th June 2013
• 11 political talk-shows
• Hashtags: #ballarò or #ballaro, #portaaporta,
#agorarai, #ultimaparola, #serviziopubblico,
#inmezzora, #infedele or #linfedele, #ottoemezzo,
#omnibus, #inonda, #piazzapulita
• Complete dataset from Twitter firehose
(DiscoverText + GNIP)
• Raw n. of Tweets collected: 2,489,669
4. Research Questions
• RQ1: is the activity on Twitter statistically
correlated with TV audience?
• RQ2: what kind of TV scene corresponds to
the highest engagement on Twitter?
• RQ3: Twitter commentaries on political talk-
shows are at the cross-road between political
and audience participation. Which of these
two types of participation is the most
common and how it is played?
6. RQ1 dataset
• Subset of Tweets (1) created during the on air
time of the episodes (+15 mins) and (2)
containing the corresponding program
#hashtag (n= 1,881,873)
• 1,077 aired episodes with respective average
audience and rating as estimated by Auditel
• Twitter metrics for each episode (Tweets,
contributors, reach, ReTweet, Reply, Tweet-
per-minute, contributors-per-minute)
12. Results (1/2)
• Over the eight different metrics tested, the
observed correlation coefficient with the
audience was > 0.5
• The rate of Tweet per minute (TPM) and
contributors per minute (CPM) correlate
remarkably well (when log transformed
respectively r=0.83 and 0.86 with p < .01)
13. Results (2/2)
• A multiple regression model based on the (1)
average audience of previously aired episodes,
(2) CPM and (3) networked publics variable*,
explained 96% of the variance in the audience
• Taking all other variables constant, we expect
an increase of 0.37% in audience for an
increase of 1% in average CPM
* representing the inclination of the audience base of a show to contribute to the
conversation with the official hashtag while the show is on air
14. WHAT KIND OF TV SCENE
CORRESPONDS TO THE HIGHEST
ENGAGEMENT ON TWITTER?
RQ2
15. Definitions
• Period <- span of n days between main
political events of the season
• Original Tweets < Tweet-(RT+Reply)
• Engagement < Peaks in Original Tweets
• Window < span of n minutes around the peak
• TV scene < excerpt of a TV program aired
during a window
16. Dataset
• Twitter metrics (tweet, rt, reply, contributors,
reach, original tweets) by minutes from 30
August 2012 to 30 June 2013 (n=439,204)
20. Methods
• Peaks detection (Marcus et al 2011)
• Textmining of Tweets created during each
windows to find the top 5 frequent term (td-idf)
extraction and automatic labeling of the peaks
• Triangluated content analysis of a random sample
of 22 peaks (2 for period): (1) Tweets created
during the peak, (2) peak’s label and (3)
correponding TV events (retived via web
streaming)
22. Peaks detected in the outlier episode
POLVERINI, PIAZZAPULITA, GOCCE, LAZIO, RENATA POLVERINI, PIAZZAPULITA, FOTOGRAFO, LAZIO, GIUNTA
full list of peaks with automatic labels
23. Preliminary results (1/2)
• During the whole season: more than half of the
analyzed peaks correspond to scene with
controversial guests, screams, fights, squabbles
and occasional bad words
• During the first part of the season: scandals, anti-
politics and the critics agaist the austerity
measures decided by Monti’s government
• During the campaign: Silvio Berlusconi (whenever
present as a guest, imitated by a comedian or
critizied by his opponents)
24. Preliminary results (2/2)
• After the elections and before the formation
of the new government: any opportunity for
critizing the democratic party and call for a
more direct participation
25. WHICH TYPES OF PARTICIPATION
(AUDIENCE/POLITICAL ) IS THE MOST FREQUENT?
HOW IT IS PLAYED?
RQ3
26. Methods
• Triangulated content analysis of a random
sample of 22 peaks (2 for period): (1) Tweets
created during the window, (2) peak’s label
and (3) correponding TV events (retived via
web streaming)
• Dataset of all Tweets in each windows
(n=7,394) excluding ReTweets
• Codeset > modified version of a code matrix
originally developed by Wohn & Na, 2011
28. Preliminary results (1/2)
• Audience participation prevails during scene
with controversial guests, screams, fights,
squabbles and bad words
• Political participation prevails during
interviews
• Both for audience and political participation,
information often express opinions by
hilighting agreed, disagreed or underline
wrong sentences
29. Preliminary results (2/2)
• Opinions are often addressed to a general
imagined audience but sometimes are directly
addressed (even using the @) to a guest or to
the host of the show as in an imaginary peer
to peer conversation
• Emotions are often hilighted by the use of
multple exclamation marks
30. Limitation and future works
• RQ1 results are applicable to the analyzed
genre only (movies, tv series, etc probably
works in a different way)
• In order to better address RQ2 all peaks
should be analyzed with the same method
• RQ3 should be tested not only around peaks
• In both cases it would be good to have more
than one coder in order to get intercoder
reliability
31. Thanks for the attention!
Working paper on RQ1 is available on SSRN
Please address comments, suggestions and
remarks to @fabiogiglietto
Editor's Notes
What I will present today is, at the best of knowledge, the first study on an entire TV season of Tweets related to a genre (political talk shows)
But, at the same time, TV has never been as social as it is today
