Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The constant growth of social platforms such as Twitter and Facebook shows the importance of social media in people’s lives today. We are now all connected to friends, family, and communities all around the world, and share information on a daily basis. Although mostly considered as an entertainment tool, some networks can be an important source of information, since relevant and valuable information is publicly shared among users. This is one of the important achievements of our time—the rapid pace at which we can learn about and propagate events.
The applications of social networks in modern societies are endless, usually with the goal of providing a solution to a global or specific problem. Considering machine learning applications, one can mention event detection, information spreading, community mining, crowdsourcing and sentiment analysis, among others.
This Special Issue seeks to bring together a set of papers regarding how machine learning applied to social media can contribute to problem solving in societies. Researchers can find in this Special Issue a venue for presenting both theoretical and practical approaches allowing the presentation and discussion of innovative solutions by addressing a number of open challenges in the above-mentioned fields.
