I will present a talk about social media network at the April 1st Federal Big Data Working Group at 6:30pm.
Talk details are on the SemanticCommunity.info site.
The Federal Big Data Working Group supports the Federal Big Data Initiative and the Federal Digital Government Strategy.
See: http://www.meetup.com/Federal-Big-Data-Working-Group/
The talk will focus on the easy to follow steps needed to create social media network maps and reports automatically from services like Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Flickr, email, blogs, wikis, and the WWW. Here is a sample network map of the term #bigdataprivacy:
The graph represents a network of 248 Twitter users whose recent tweets contained “#bigdataprivacy”, or who were replied to or mentioned in those tweets. The tweets in the network were tweeted over the 6-day, 10-hour, 29-minute period from Tuesday, 25 February 2014 at 14:36 UTC to Tuesday, 04 March 2014 at 01:06 UTC. There is an edge for each “replies-to” relationship in a tweet. There is an edge for each “mentions” relationship in a tweet. There is a self-loop edge for each tweet that is not a “replies-to” or “mentions”.
The graph’s vertices were grouped by cluster using the Clauset-Newman-Moore cluster algorithm.
The graph was laid out using the Harel-Koren Fast Multiscale layout algorithm.
The edge colors are based on edge weight values. The edge widths are based on edge weight values. The edge opacities are based on edge weight values. The vertex sizes are based on followers values. The vertex opacities are based on followers values.
