Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, "Social Media Meets AI and Data Science", explores the intersection of social media platforms and advanced computational technologies. Social media platforms generate vast amounts of data daily, offering unique opportunities and challenges for AI and data science applications. This issue aims to present cutting-edge research that utilizes artificial intelligence and data science techniques to analyze, interpret, and leverage social media data. Topics may include but are not limited to, sentiment analysis, user behavior prediction, content personalization, the detection of misinformation, and Trust. Moreover, this issue will delve into ethical considerations, privacy concerns, and the implications of AI-driven social media tools on society and individual users. Contributions may involve various methodologies, including machine learning models, natural language processing, and predictive analytics, providing insights into how these technologies can enhance our understanding and engagement with social media platforms. We invite empirical research, case studies, and review articles that address both the technical aspects and societal impacts of integrating AI and data science in social media contexts.
