Social media is the new trend for expressing personal ideas to other people. Since people are sharing real time messages about their opinions on diverse topics, there exists huge amount of raw data to analyze. Thus, manual classification of these data becomes impossible. Irony, as a simple definition, is creative use of language and attracts computer scientists’ attention lately. Automatic detection of irony on microblog texts is not a trivial task. Texts of microblogs can have limited number of characters, mostly include typing errors therefore traditional methods of opinion classification cannot be applied easily. Therefore, a preprocessing requirement is occurred. After preprocessing, some patterns and language specific features are extracted in order to detect irony. This study aims to automatically detect the irony in microblogs, i.e., informal short texts. Due to the morphological structure of Turkish, various methods are applied to increase the success and quality of classification.

Online event detection from streaming data Şahin, Özlem Ceren; Karagöz, Pınar; Department of Computer Engineering (2018) The purpose of this study is detecting events from social media in an online fashion where event is a happening that takes place at a certain time and place that attracts attention within a short period of time. By doing so, it is aimed to provide a system both accurate and efficient at the same time. The problem studied in this thesis is modeled as a stream processing problem and three alternative methods are proposed. The first event detection method is keyword-based and works with bursty keywords inside ...
Determining user types from twitter account contentand structure Gürlek, Mesut; Toroslu, İsmail Hakkı; Department of Computer Engineering (2021-3-05) People are using social media platforms more and more every day; hence, they are be-coming suitable for research studies by their rich content. Twitter is one of the biggestand most widely used social media platforms, and many studies focus on Twitter forsocial media research. In this thesis, we propose methodologies for determining usertypes of Twitter accounts by their metadata, content, and structure. Our first problemis classifying organization vs. individual account types using only metadata. After weg...
Usability in Local E-Government: Analysis of Turkish Metropolitan Municipality Facebook Pages YILDIZ, METE; Ocak, Nihan; Yildirim, Caglar; Çağıltay, Kürşat; Babaoglu, Cenay (2016-01-01) Social media use is on the rise throughout the world. Influenced by this trend, governments of all levels and sizes are establishing their social media (like Facebook) presence due to the communication and interaction capabilities that such a presence brings. This study examines and explains the social media presence of Turkish local governments from a usability perspective. Usability studies provide governments with important empirical data about the citizens'/users' view/perception of the efficiency, effe...
Developing a twitter bot that can join a discussion using state-of-the-art architectures Çetinkaya, Yusuf Mücahit; Toroslu, İsmail Hakkı; Department of Computer Engineering (2019) Twitter is today mostly used for sharing and commenting about news. In this manner, the interaction between Twitter users is inevitable. This interaction sometimes causes people to move daily debates to this social platform. Since being dominant in these debates is crucial, automation of this process becomes highly popular. In this work, we aim to train a bot that classifies posted tweets according to their semantic and generates logical tweets about a popular discussion, namely gun debate of the U.S. for t...
A novel pre-processing workflow for popularity prediction in social media Yıldırım, Hüseyin Buğra; Taşkaya Temizel, Tuğba; Department of Information Systems (2021-9-10) Users in Twitter are in continuous interaction with each other through posts and reactions such as likes and retweets. Tweets often get a little reaction from people, with only a few of them receiving a prominent response. Thus, reaction numbers result in having a heavy right-skewed distribution. Furthermore, some tweets show unexpected response performance that cannot be depicted by standard features and are often dependent on extraordinary situations such as being the first reporter and mass reaction. Hea...
