Twitter is currently one of the biggest social media platforms. Its users may share, read, and engage with short posts called tweets. For the ACM Recommender Systems Conference 2020, Twitter published a dataset around 70 GB in size for the…
Models of contagion dynamics, originally developed for infectious diseases, have proven relevant to the study of information, news, and political opinions in online social systems. Modelling diffusion processes and predicting viral…
We study the evolution of the number of retweets received by Twitter users over the course of their "careers" on the platform. We find that on average the number of retweets received by users tends to increase over time. This is partly…
Twitter is among the most used online platforms for the political communications, due to the concision of its messages (which is particularly suitable for political slogans) and the quick diffusion of messages. Especially when the argument…
Information diffusion occurs on microblogging platforms like Twitter as retweet cascades. When a tweet is posted, it may be retweeted and henceforth further retweeted, and the retweeting process continues iteratively and indefinitely. A…
Twitter, a microblogging service, has evolved into a powerful communication platform with millions of active users who generate immense volume of microposts on a daily basis. To facilitate effective categorization and easy search, users…
This paper presents a quantitative study of Twitter, one of the most popular micro-blogging services, from the perspective of user influence. We crawl several datasets from the most active communities on Twitter and obtain 20.5 million user…
Understanding the information behind social relationships represented by a network is very challenging, especially, when the social interactions change over time inducing updates on the network topology. In this context, this paper proposes…
In recent years, people spend a lot of time on social networks. They use social networks as a place to comment on personal or public events. Thus, a large amount of information is generated and shared daily in these networks. Using such a…
We study the relationship between the sentiment levels of Twitter users and the evolving network structure that the users created by @-mentioning each other. We use a large dataset of tweets to which we apply three sentiment scoring…
Online social networks are a dominant medium in everyday life to stay in contact with friends and to share information. In Twitter, users can connect with other users by following them, who in turn can follow back. In recent years,…
In this work we introduce a model based on master equations to describe the time evolution of the popularity of topics and hashtags on the Twitter social network. Specifically, we model the number of times a certain hashtag appears on the…
This article charts the work of a 4 month project aimed at automatically identifying patterns of tweets popularity evolution using Machine Learning and Deep Learning techniques. To apprehend both the data and the extent of the problem, a…
Nowadays, millions of people interact on a daily basis on online social media like Facebook and Twitter, where they share and discuss information about a wide variety of topics. In this paper, we focus on a specific online social network,…
The growing prominence of social media in public discourse has led to a greater scrutiny of the quality of online information and the role it plays in amplifying political polarization. However, studies of polarization on social media…
We address the problem of maximizing user engagement with content (in the form of like, reply, retweet, and retweet with comments)on the Twitter platform. We formulate the engagement forecasting task as a multi-label classification problem…
In this paper we propose a novel approach for Twitter traffic analysis based on renewal theory. Even though twitter datasets are of increasing interest to researchers, extracting information from message timing remains somewhat unexplored.…
Social media platforms offer users multiple ways to engage with content--likes, retweets, and comments--creating a complex signaling system within the attention economy. While previous research has examined factors driving overall…
In online social media systems users are not only posting, consuming, and resharing content, but also creating new and destroying existing connections in the underlying social network. While each of these two types of dynamics has…
Social media generates a prodigious wealth of real-time content at an incessant rate. From all the content that people create and share, only a few topics manage to attract enough attention to rise to the top and become temporal trends…
